Ep 1 Introduction: Who We Are and How We Fell In Love With Fourth Wing

Dear Fantasy Reader

Welcome to the Dear Fantasy Reader podcast, where best friends, Hannah and Karen, travel through the pages of their favorite romantasy novels, diving deep into the chapters— exploring characters, scenes, theories, foreshadowing, and more!

They will begin their journey with Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros, taking what they’ve learned from the second book in the Empyrean Series, Iron Flame, to re-read and re-experience the first.

Before taking flight into their deep dive, your fellow squad mates, Hannah and Karen, share their bookish journey into Fourth Wing and the Romantasy genre. Discover the different perspectives they bring to the conversation as they discuss the fascinating overlap between Taylor Swift’s music and the Empyrean Series and give you a sneak peek into what you can expect from future Dear Fantasy Reader episodes."
