Episode 2 - Holly Black: Valiant

Backlist: Hey look, it's another Holly Black book that manages to be GREAT despite some pretty big flaws, huge shock. This month's entry is VALIANT, published in June 2005, featuring a Clever Human Girl who must save a Soft Faerie Boy. This is what we're here for.

Please forgive our audio issues. We've been cursed by a witch, but we're working out a deal.

Chill: Our big takeaway from the book is that Nevermore is great and everyone should do it. To that end, we've created two liquid interpretations: Nevermore, a reskinned Gold Margerita (gold tequila, sour mix, triple sec, lime juice + edible glitter) and Glamour Riot (absinthe and Seagram's Ginger Ale over ice + edible glitter) Pics: Cyna - Ollie.

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