From W.B. E. E. Chicago, this is Nurdett. I'm Greta Johnson and today

I am thrilled to introduce you to a series of books that I think

is better than the Game of Thrones books. I'm going to tell you why but first I just

want to say no shade to George R. Martin he is is a lovely human. We had him on

Nurdett. He was very kind. I liked him a lot. George, this is

nothing personal. But here are my criteria. One, this other series is

feminist as fier, and two, it's actually finished.

Yep, it's four books.

They're all out in the world.

And the series is called the Nine nine realm series and it's by Sarah

Kausloff and here is Sarah summing up 2,000 pages in one sentence.

An epic fantasy about a young princess who must grow up and fight her way back to the throne.

That, my friend, is a sentence that gives me goosebumps. And what's extra awesomely cool about Sarah is that her own story is super interesting too.

She's somebody who completely changed career paths

pretty much because of the Bechtel test.

She used to be a film professor at Vassar College,

and now she is a full-time fantasy author.

Sarah, welcome to Nurdette.

Thanks for having me, Greta.
