OTR returns to ring in 2024 with a young adult novel series face-off: The Hunger Games against Percy Jackson! As our witness this week, we have acclaimed fantasy author Danielle M. Orsino, who discusses writing female characters with strength and complexity and designing fight scenes to be comprehensible and believable for the reader. With Lando representing Katniss Everdeen and her crew, will his witness give him the edge this week? Or will Huy impress Judge Mucci with the demigods and Greek mythological creatures of the Percy Jackson series?

Be sure to check out Danielle M. Orsino's Birth of the Fae series! Find more information at her Instagram: @birthofthefae_novel

OTR theme music by Lando and Mucci.
