Trail of Lightning
The Bitches are heading to Dinétah, the traditional homeland of the Diné (Navajo) people, following Maggie Hoskie, a kick-ass monster hunter and her companion Kai Arviso a smooth-talking medicine man. Together they navigate tricksters, witchcraft, and post-apocalyptic society in Rebecca Roanhorse's Trail of Lightning.
Ginnye and Raven discuss the importance of representation; bringing Diné stories into the future; how much we love Clive Goodacre; and how AMAZING Rebecca Roanhorse is. As an added bonus, listen to our hosts struggle with basic geography. It's a hoot!

Customer Reviews
Wish they would discuss spoilers.
I really enjoyed their discussions, but they tend to shy away from spoilers. I think the spoilers would lead to a deeper, more thoughtful, & more compehensive discussion.And example of this would be on the swampLandia episode,They shied away from some major plot points that they called spoilers but these episodes were the heart of the book. I think that if they post a podcast and a person hasnt finished the book yet, the person should avoid listening until they finish the book. then there would be no spoilers, & everyone wins :)
Great rapport among hosts!
I really liked the conversation among the two hosts! It really is like being at a bookclub and getting to delve deep into the story.
BOOKS
I love books and both hosts. They’re just awesome at what they do. Please keep it going. Looking forward to every podcast!
