Episode 31 of Bookmergency is here, and we’re diving into A Mastery of Monsters by Liselle Sambury, narrated by Angel Pean.

In this episode, we break down our favorite quotes, dig into the incredible worldbuilding and factions within the Learners’ Society, and talk about the messy, flawed, and loveable characters (yes, we have A LOT of feelings about ALL of them).

We also touch on the real-world themes Liselle Sambury weaves in—systems of oppression, identity, and what it means to give yourself space to mess up. And of course, we pull a tarot card for the book to see what the universe has to say.

We are thoroughly obsessed and we theorized hard on this episode, with way more questions than answers, which is our favorite place to be in the first book of a new series!
