Patron Emily Pattyn joins us to talk about one of the hottest new releases of 2020: Raybearer by Jordan Ifueko. We talk about magic systems, the development of diverse fantasy in YA, and why The Lord of the Rings should be 200 pages shorter than it is. Like all our new release reviews, this one is spoiler free!
