Why Everyone's Talking About Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Atmosphere is a story about courage, ambition, and the quiet strength it takes to live authentically when the world tells you not to. Brandi explores how Taylor Jenkins Reid blends heart, history, and humanity to create a story that feels both intimate and expansive. If you love emotional character arcs and stories that reach for the stars, this one is for you.
This week’s Dragon’s Roar features Rites of the Starling by Debbie Perry, the much anticipated sequel to Shield of Sparrow, arriving April 7th, 2026. Expect magic, monsters, and a cursed realm that will draw readers into an even darker and more dangerous world.
Brandi also reflects on a listener question about the choices John made in the story. Were they right? What would you have done in her position? Join the conversation in the comments.
