I've made a couple of playlists for yhlee's Lancer YA-trilogy-in-the-works, and now that Moonstorm is out, it makes sense to share!

This playlist is approved by my small nieces, due to a combination of the concept of a beautiful enemy and Taylor Swift. The least well-known song is "Garden Under Fire," a gorgeous, wistful song about Palestine that I stumbled on some years ago via a path I have now forgotten. I wish I knew more about the singer, but there's not much about her in English.

The playlist is on Tidal if you've got an account there.

And here are some YouTube links:
