We’re back in Eshōza! In Beasts of Ruin by Ayana Gray, the journey picks up right where Beasts of Prey left of. We talk magical beasts, trauma, and toxic masculinity, and dive deep into the power of found family, complicated parents, and becoming your own weapon.

Plus, we shout out our favorite darajas, theorize about Koffi’s powers, and gush over those blurry friendship-to-something-more moments.
