We’re closing out Season One of Shit We’ve Read with a discussion of Ashia Monet’s self-published debut novel, The Black Veins. Listen in as we describe this book as ‘X-Men with magic’, admit we’re both too dumb for hard science fiction, and Laura reveals why she would never try to write a book.
As a reminder, this is our last episode of Season One after which we will be taking a short hiatus to recharge and plan out Season Two. We’ll be back with new episodes (and some exciting surprises) starting in May! Follow us @ShitWeveRead on Instagram and Twitter for updates and announcements.
Goodreads Synopsis
In a world where magic thrives in secret city corners, a group of magicians embark on a road trip—and it’s the “no-love-interest”, found family adventure you’ve been searching for.
Sixteen-year-old Blythe is one of seven Guardians: magicians powerful enough to cause worldwide panic with a snap of their fingers. But Blythe spends her days pouring latte art at her family’s coffee shop, so why should she care about having apocalyptic abilities?
She’s given a reason when magician anarchists crash into said coffee shop and kidnap her family.
Heartbroken but determined, Blythe knows she can’t save them alone. A war is brewing between two magician governments and tensions are too high. So, she packs up her family’s bright yellow Volkswagen, puts on a playlist, and embarks on a road trip across the United States to enlist the help of six strangers whose abilities are unparalleled—the other Guardians.
