119. Soul of the Deep: "I choose to be me."

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Soul of the Deep: "I choose to be me." What happens when you lose your purpose? When guilt and grief are so consuming that even the bottom of the sea isn't as crushing your own thoughts? What happens when you loose faith? You look for the light. Simi is depressed and alone fulfilling her bargain at the bottom of the sea. Her sacrifice has been worth it, or so Simi thinks. Her penance at the bottom of the sea is her duty, or so Simi thinks. But all is not as it seems and the sea and the land are not at peace. War is brewing and everyone wants to blame Simi, even Simi. Soul of the Deep takes Simi and readers from the darkest part of the ocean to the brightest part of the day and explores the idea that what is right to you, isn't always what is right to all.

Om Podcasten

Hello there! We are your hosts, Laura Marie and Jessica Marie and this is A Court of Fandoms and Exploration: A Podcast. Every Monday, we discuss the epic highs and lows of YA literature, fantasy/sci-fi, and the tv shows (old and new) that made us the slightly-damaged young millennials we are today. Experience the life-altering realizations and unresolved trauma that only YA and sci-fi/fantasy can soothe as we explore the worlds of Sarah J. Maas in Prythian, Crescent City, and Erilea, and head over to Sunnydale, Elfhame and more! Thank you for listening to us!
