Episode 1 - Amelia Atwater-Rhodes: The Kiesha'ra Vol 1: Hawksong

Backlist: Season six is off to a turbulent start! This is take two of our discussion of HAWKSONG by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes (published in July 2003), thanks to a recording error. Will an extra read and an extra week to reflect soften our hearts towards this, the so-called (by us, we called it that) "best" of the Kiesha'ra series?

Spoiler Alert: no. No, it actually did the opposite. Sorry.

Chill: Tangentially related drinks this time - Cyna is drinking a Golden Dream (orange juice, triple sec, vanilla vodka, and cream), and Ollie is drinking an Undeath in-- er, a Hawk's Keep (Absente absinthe - not on fire - and cold ginger ale). Take a look at our pretty pics!   Cyna - Ollie.

Intro theme - "Let It In" by Josh Woodward.
