Lydia and Tay jump into gender roles and the logic of dominance among changelings with our discussion of Nalini Singh’s Branded by Fire. Mercy worries she’ll never find a mate as a dominant female and Riley thinks he wants a submissive wolf mate, but don’t worry, we relate this all back to real life (it's actually... super relatable).
We’re taking a short break, listeners! We’ll be back with our next episode, Blaze of Memory, on Feb. 1. EDIT (2/16/22): We'll be back by the end of Feb!
In this episode, we also revisit Tally and Clay to discuss a really insightful article sent to us by listener Mystery. We highly recommend the article, “In Defense of ‘Unlikable’ Heroines,” by Aarya Marsden on Smart Bitches, Trashy Books (**SPOILERS for Kiss of Snow, Tangle of Need, and Shards of Hope**): https://smartbitchestrashybooks.com/2019/04/in-defense-of-unlikable-heroines-a-case-study-of-three-heroines-from-nalini-singhs-psy-changeling-series/

Lydia and Tay recap Hostage to Pleasure, book 5 of Nalini Singh’s Psy-Changeling series. The Psy Council is stupid, Dorian is frequently shirtless, and high stakes shenanigans ensue. This one is a LOT less dark, and it has some of our favorite characters!
