Fist deep, mountain high. This month we dig our fingers into She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan, a queer historical fantasy surrounding the rise of the Ming Dynasty in 14th Century China.  This tale has been compared to both The Song of Achilles and Mulan, but She Who Became the Sun was fated for greatness far beyond those titles.

Please join us and Zhu Chongba on the equally harrowing and delightful quest to capture a fate that is not their own.
