My Niche Fandom: Red Queen

The first installation of My Niche Fandom! Bonus episodes where we overexplain a less-known fandom we're a part of so we can read a fic in which almost none of it matters. 

This week, Josie gives us the book series that reignited her love of reading fantasy: Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard!
