The Queens finish their very first side quest by completing Light from Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki! In the finale of this chaotic alien-demon-violin-donut-shop novel, your favourite Queens learn new facts about koi fish, converse about the technological limits of toad-faced demons, and discover what it means to be comfortable in one's own skin. Queen Tay is shocked at a teenager's night on the town, Queen Alix judges, just a bit, an alien mother, and Queen Marissa shares all her newest favourite quotes, as we see the twists and turns of this truly chaotic story come to their conclusion. Or, in other words, join your favourite Queens on this side quest as they read Chapter 19 to the end of Light from Uncommon Stars.
At the end of the podcast, your Queens shout out their fave and least fave characters. They also play a brand new game called Your Alien Cover Shop, where they create their (you guessed it!) own alien cover shops.
