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

Dear Fantasy Reader

Join best friends, Hannah and Karen, as they travel through the pages of their favorite romantasy novels, diving deep into the chapters; exploring characters, scenes, theories, foreshadowing, and more!

They 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 in preparation for Onyx Storm.

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, discuss the fascinating overlap between Taylor Swift’s music and the Empyrean Series, and get a sneak peek into what you can expect from future Dear Fantasy Reader episodes.
