Episode Twelve
In this episode, we delve into the fantastical elements of pirates, the supernatural, and romance. This story plays off elements from Beauty and the Beast along with legends of The Flying Dutchman. We debate character transformation, romantic tropes, and the power dynamics at play. We also critique the book cover design by Sadie Hewitt, speculating on the artistry and the allure of its title.
Wrapping up, we touch on the significance of romance in storytelling, with a rapid fire discussion spotlighting “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl,” and recommend the lesbian romance “Legends and Latte” for those looking to broaden their reading horizons.
