Show Notes
Welcome to a special Pride Month episode where we rocket into the captivating worlds of Everina Maxwell's queer space opera, WINTER’S ORBIT, alongside our guest host, EmmaSkies! Set in a futuristic system on the brink of political turmoil, Winter's Orbit follows the arranged marriage between Prince Kiem and Count Jainan. As they navigate their new relationship, secrets and conspiracies unravel, challenging their notions of duty, loyalty, and personal freedom.
It’s a book Emma has read before and already loves, so she comes to this discussion with enthusiasm and opinions aplenty! Join us as we analyze the book's tropes and gender systems, Bella makes the sci-fi more complicated than it is, Jason & Emma explain the story of Bigolas Dickolas, and so much more!
It’s an episode filled with love, laughter, and chaotic energy. Happy Pride!
