Join Katie and Jordan, two friends who discovered similar reading habits and needed more time to talk books out of the office. They break down the best and worst fictional heroines and regularly struggle with pronouncing character names. Each book gets a few episodes, so spoilers beware!

54. Wild Magic by Tamora Pierce (Part 1) “Let’s address the 8-story elephant (in the room?).”
Needless to say, we are CONFLICTED about this series. If your only exposure to Tamora Pierce is the Song of the Lioness books, "Wild Magic" is set in the same world and features many of the same characters; HOWEVER, the heroine is 13 years old in Wild Magic and she ends up in a romantic relationship with her mentor/teacher in book 4 ("In the Realms of the Gods"). We get into this for quite a while at the start of the episode, so skip to about 21 minutes in for the actual story.

55. Wild Magic by Tamora Pierce (Part 2) "All the baker's wives are going to be pissed off."
We're closing out Wild Magic and we couldn't help but stray into the same debate we got into last week. Also, what's up with this ending? Pacifist whales, dragon martyrs, and a kraken in a trench coat (at least according to Katie).

56. Wolf-Speaker by Tamora Pierce "Welcome to Duloc."
Wolf-Speaker is book two in The Immortals Series by Tamora Pierce and there are A LOT of animals in this one. Some of them have more character development than our heroine.

57. Emperor Mage by Tamora Pierce "Dinosaurs and dumb birds."
While there are four books in The Immortals Series, we are concluding our review at book three, Emperor Mage. Stick around for the dinosaurs and dumb birds and ignore the romantic tension building between Daine and Numair.
