Not Another Heroine

Join Katie and Jordan, two friends who discovered similar reading habits and needed more time to talk books out of the office. They break down the best and worst fictional heroines and regularly struggle with pronouncing character names. Each book gets a few episodes, so spoilers beware!

2026/01/12

The Bird and the Sword might be for you if you loved the mysterious eagle rescue in Tamora Pierce's "Wild Magic," but want something more grown up with a witcher-style MMC. The writing style wavers between fairy tale and heavy introspection and our woebegone heroine Lark might annoy you with her poetry.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/29008738-the-bird-and-the-sword?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=6z5vwruIWd&rank=1Other books mentioned in this episode:Wild Magic by Tamora

Hot & Bothered: Can you overlook a bad heroine?

2026/01/09

Happy Friday, Readers! This was our first Hot & Bothered episode published almost a year ago on our Patreon, right after we had finished reading Fourth Wing. (Please forgive our general Violet snarkiness.) We have a handful of others H&B episodes we'll be posting on random Fridays, let us know what you think and if you'd like to see more of these.--------------------------------------The theory: some readers can skim past a bad heroine for a vicarious romance with a shadow daddy, while

Welcome to Season 4!

2026/01/05

Welcome back to another NAH season! We're kicking off the year with a romantasy throwback. "The Bird and the Sword" by Amy Harmon will post next Monday, January 12th. Frankenstein (the Netflix version) and Heated Rivalry are also around the corner.We're planning to chew on Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey throughout the year (Seriously, have you seen how thick this book is? It puts Alchemised to shame.) And if you're like us and can't stop re-reading Grace Draven, she has her first new novel

147. The NAH Awards

Not Another Heroine ·

2025/12/15

Another season down! Thank you all for sticking with us through this year of too many Ali Hazelwood books and very questionable monster romances. Our season 4 trailer is out on January 5th and our first book review of the year will post the very next week. Some housekeeping notes:We had a few issues with our recording equipment this episode so you'll hear a bit of an echo through certain bits of the audio. We promise our season 4 episodes will be much cleaner.Curious to see how truly silly we are

141. Alchemised by SenLinYu "Psst...I see dead people."

Not Another Heroine ·

2025/11/03

This week's episode is a little different from our usual synopsis-style breakdowns. While we both loved this book, we found it challenging to do justice to the narrative's intricacies with a handful of plot highlights and similar book recommendations. We have done our best to create a sort of Alchemised primer: an introduction to the world and magic system, and a rough breakdown of why the "good" and "bad" guys are fighting with each other. There are slight spoilers, but nothing related to character
