In the season one finale of the Our Moment Podcast, Exquisite wraps up the conversation on Legendborn. She spends quite some time being sappy about the season coming to a close. There is also a discussion on Passive Characters and if Bree qualifies as one, well more like a rant. Exquisite ends the episode pimping her fancast for Bree Matthews.
Thank you guys for joining us on this journey into Legendborn. Thank You Tracy Deonn for writing this fantastic book. Happy New Year!

II | Legendborn: Bree, Sel, & Nick
In this episode Exquisite breaks down the characters of Bree, Sel, and Nick. We also discuss a bit about After Bree and how she came to be. This episode attempts to focus on the characters as they exist in 'Part One: Order' of Legendborn.
