SOON

Anyone remember a post from Tumblr past, where somebody said something about being tired of having teenage chosen ones and they wish someone would write one that's older? Because my older sister did that and it's getting published in April.

TORTALL MAP BLANKET I'M TORTALLY NORMAL ABOUT THIS

Today is March 12, sir Terry Pratchett Memorial Day, a day that is important for me to remember. This man, his books, helped me a lot in my childhood and are helping me up to this day. Therefore, every year I draw a lilac - this is a kind of a way to say "thank you" to a person who unfortunately will never hear it. But the world will hear his name once again, and a man is not dead while his name is still spoken.

““They never tell you some things,” Briar said bitterly. “They tell you mages have wonderful power and they learn all kinds of secrets. Nobody ever mentions that some secrets you don’t ever want to learn.” “All you can do is learn good to balance the bad,” Rosethorn told him. “Learn and do all the good within your reach. Then, if you wake in a sweat, you have something to set against the dream.””

— Tamora Pierce, “Street Magic”

I finished the ancillary justice trilogy (post forthcoming. Short version: I liked it and recommend it) and decided to ride the nostalgia wave back to ninefox gambit (by yoon ha lee). Finished that one (remembered it a little more than ancillary justice, but I also read it more recently) and picked up the sequel, raven strategem which I am experiencing for the first time

Friends, raven strategem is a different animal. It's a compelling one but it's a total POV change

Also my memory for character names (nonexistent) is doing its thing (forgetting who everyone is) so that's... fun. There's a lot of POV changes too which compounds the issue. I know I should make a cheat sheet but I'm sleepytired

Oh and there's some brothers who boink each other. And one of the POV characters is a trans man. Actually a whole handful of characters who have gender stuff going on in BG. Also lots of characters who experience queer attraction, also more or less tertiary to the plot. 👍
