They're two of my most precious and beloved characters, and if someone dares to say something bad against them I'll bite.

about the fist meme... TAKE THE TIME TO READ THE SECOND BOOK AT LEAST OMG!!! It's fantasy, it's supposed to not tell you everything right away, if you actually took the time to get to the second volume, you would know the message is not pro-monarchy at all. But it is easier to make stupid memes, I guess.

More Nevernight memes

I mean yeah, fantasy has a pro-monarchist bent sometimes, but that is just bad messaging. 

I need a personal Murtagh in my life fr

Murtagh: Meets a child in a tavern

Child: I hate this girl in town

Murtagh: lol yeah fuck that bitch stab her with a fork.

It's cause the murderer is a woman, so that distracted from the actual triangle that was happening and prevented a (much needed) Gale situation.

We're still hating on Gale after 10 years but I've seen no one have a problem with what Ashlinn did.

"Oh they were all murderers". No. There was a thick line drawn at killing FRIENDS.

Jessamine got WRECKED cause she was suspected of killing Carlotta. But WHO killed Carlotta? How mad was Mia at Jessamine for *Carlotta* (not even her lover)???

Before being Mia's lover, Tric was Mia and supposedly Ash's FRIEND.

Mia is NOT like Ash.

Else she would have gotten the Gladiatiis killed. During the Venatus, she risked EVERYTHING she had worked on in her life to NOT KILL HER FRIENDS.

THEY'RE NOT THE SAME.

Nevernight gave us both “enemies to lovers” and “lovers to enemies” and that really was a power move.

Sure, it also gave us “friends to lovers to I’d-die-for-you-but-it’s-not-mutual-also-you’re-in-love-with-my-murderer??????” but we’re not going to talk about that aren’t we?

what's the point of romance if they aren't gonna kiss on a battlefield with blood and tears on theirface and the relief of knowing they've made it out alive

Books similar to The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood:

The Grace Year by Kim Liggett and Extasia by Claire Legrand are both distopyas dense of religious fanatism and women's segregation, in which sexism and sexual prejudice are associated with various aspects of religion (e.g. belief, faith, and fundamentalism). This novel shows also how higher religious fundamentalism is associated with internalized misogyny and passive acceptance of traditional gender roles, and both hostile and benevolent sexism.

In The Grace Year the stereotype of a women as source of sin was laid down by the dominant religious authorities before the inception of widespread violence led by women against women, but after all the violence and blood, women learn the importance of sorority, female friendship and start to support and help each others.

The main source of conflicts are ribbons, which, in The Grace Year, are the sign of a women lifestage and the bride's ribbon is a valued price among most of the girls of the age of Tierney, the protagonist. The bride ribbons create a competition between girls to get bachelor’s attention, self-objectification, and humiliation toward each others. Although the competition eventually destroys most of them, this characteristic offers pleasure to those who survived their Grace Year. Tierney learns to survive on her own, learns that the religious values she was thought were wrong and learns also to appreciate her peer's friendship.

Extasia adds witchcraft and supernatural elements, but the main character (Amity) believes deeply in social conservatism—Amity has a preference for stability, conformity and the status quo— which is often a key trait of the religious experience, but also betrays deep feeling of self-hate.

In Extasia, the very patriarchal structures that decry witchcraft – the Puritan church in which the characters lives in and escapes from, the male headship to which the community so desperately cling, the insistence, in the face of repeated violence, on the sin of her mother – are the same structures that inevitably foreclose the options of the lead character, Amity.

To this two, I will mention also The Year Of The Witching by Alexis Henderson. In this novel, Immanuelle, a young woman living in a rigid, puritanical society, discovers dark powers within herself. This book is very similar to Extasia, but not such as good: Amity character is way more believable than Immanuelle and shows way more comprehension of the injustices committed in the name of the religion. The cult in Extasia contains more original elements and believing than the one in The Year Of The Witching, which seems more a copy-paste of mormon radical close-communities, including the elements of racial prejudice. Both Immanuelle and Amity live in the disdain of their own community because of the sins committed by their mother, which were both punished for their love affairs, but when Amity is a girl-of-action and actively search for mercy and witchcraft, Immanuelle is cursed - literally - by passivity and events occurs without her active consents, including the defection of the evil antagonist. Also, female friendship doesn't take place among the main themes and the book suffer a lot of the male love-interest help.

The Grace Year by Kim Liggett

No one speaks of the grace year. It’s forbidden.

In Garner County, girls are told they have the power to lure grown men from their beds, to drive women mad with jealousy. They believe their very skin emits a powerful aphrodisiac, the potent essence of youth, of a girl on the edge of womanhood. That’s why they’re banished for their sixteenth year, to release their magic into the wild so they can return purified and ready for marriage. But not all of them will make it home alive.

Sixteen-year-old Tierney James dreams of a better life—a society that doesn’t pit friend against friend or woman against woman, but as her own grace year draws near, she quickly realizes that it’s not just the brutal elements they must fear. It’s not even the poachers in the woods, men who are waiting for a chance to grab one of the girls in order to make a fortune on the black market. Their greatest threat may very well be each other.

With sharp prose and gritty realism, The Grace Year examines the complex and sometimes twisted relationships between girls, the women they eventually become, and the difficult decisions they make in-between.

Extasia by Claire Legrand

Her name is unimportant.

All you must know is that today she will become one of the four saints of Haven. The elders will mark her and place the red hood on her head. With her sisters, she will stand against the evil power that lives beneath the black mountain--an evil which has already killed nine of her village's men.

She will tell no one of the white-eyed beasts that follow her. Or the faceless gray women tall as houses. Or the girls she saw kissing in the elm grove.

Today she will be a saint of Haven. She will rid her family of her mother's shame at last and save her people from destruction. She is not afraid. Are you?

The Year Of The Witching by Alexis Henderson

In the lands of Bethel, where the Prophet’s word is law, Immanuelle Moore’s very existence is blasphemy. Her mother’s union with an outsider of a different race cast her once-proud family into disgrace, so Immanuelle does her best to worship the Father, follow Holy Protocol, and lead a life of submission, devotion, and absolute conformity, like all the other women in the settlement. But a mishap lures her into the forbidden Darkwood surrounding Bethel, where the first prophet once chased and killed four powerful witches. Their spirits are still lurking there, and they bestow a gift on Immanuelle: the journal of her dead mother, who Immanuelle is shocked to learn once sought sanctuary in the wood. Fascinated by the secrets in the diary, Immanuelle finds herself struggling to understand how her mother could have consorted with the witches. But when she begins to learn grim truths about the Church and its history, she realizes the true threat to Bethel is its own darkness. And she starts to understand that if Bethel is to change, it must begin with her.

can we stop pretending that we can actually understand the first 3-4 chapters of fantasy books

thx.

“theyre my comfort oc <33 just look at them they're so baby :')”

the oc: *has lost their sense of morality because of the amount of trauma they went through oh also is a mass murderer*

the trope where the mortal dies in their immortal lover's arms is a different kind of painful— i love it.

BOOK RATINGS! (not recommendations//SPOILERS)

So, last month, I read fantasy novels. And one this month. I like to write my ratings about some novels (spoilers included) I read. They’re fantasy, literally all of them (and they’re quite enemies-to-lovers)

Cruel Beauty

☆☆☆☆ or 4.5

Like the dumb I am, I didn’t understand the story’s ending. Although I knew that Shade and Ignifex became one—Lux, and Nyx and Lux got back together, the ending didn’t got me, still.

It made me cry in the climax. I thought they wouldn’t be together in the end.

I didn’t quite understand much of the other elements of this intricate world-building. It was Greek mythology and such others combined, a little complicated for me. But it was well, I like the concept.

An Enchantment of Ravens

☆☆☆☆

Gadfly, for sure I thought of him as a fatherly-like figure for Rook and Isobel. But near the climax, he became wicked—like a villain. However, in the end, I did liked him again.

March and May, holy cow. I was weirded out at how they eat everything, literally everything. But, yeah, they were cows before.

Raven Rook and horse Rook, magically wonderful. Rook’s actions towards Isobel when he was a raven, it was sooo cute. The horse Rook is good, it runs fast.

Every love confession of them, I was always smiling and shrieking. The first confession of Rook tho . . .

Isobel’s talent for painting, I haven’t had enough of reading those.

To Kill A Kingdom

☆☆☆☆.5

I was interested, then I liked it, and then I LOVE IT.

The characters are awesome, though I want to see Elian as a king, it didn’t change the way I see the book.

The romance was very slow-burned, if it wasn’t for their dialogues, I wouldn’t think that they’ve fallen in love.

That princess (Sakura was her undercover name, I think), I hate the f out of her and I don’t know why.

The Shadows Between Us

☆☆☆.5

I like how it ended, however I’ll like it more if the author wrote a chapter or scene about their wedding.

I was excited before reading this because of the blurb, while it did showed up in the book that she wants to steal the throne from Kallias, that plan didn’t reached the end. I mean, obviously it wouldn’t reach the end because they were meant to be in love..?

I guess this book was only a fun read (literally. i kinda read it for fun) to me. I didn’t even feel connected to the characters in every ways.

I’ve read the Folk of The Air Series (The Cruel Prince, The Wicked King, The Queen of Nothing) and How The King of Elfhame Learned To Hate Stories; however I am too lazy to give reviews. <3

꧁༺𝕁𝕌𝔻𝔼 𝔻𝕌𝔸ℝ𝕋𝔼༻꧂

With refreshing echoes of golden age fantasy, Fog & Fireflies is a novel that brings together an imaginative world and fantastical cast of characters to explore the difference between growing older and growing up.

"Why do we grow more scared as we get older?"

Hundreds of seasons ago, a wizard's war scarred the earth, leaving a malevolent fog blanketing the land, and carrying the settlements within it like ships adrift at sea. The phantoms the fog creates are deadly to adults, so children must guard the walls now, and care for each other.

Ogma watches the fog from the walls of her windmill town. What felt like a game as a child becomes more of a creeping dread with each season she gets older.

"Because we know better."

Ogma's town is attacked—alien caravanners who roam the fog in inhuman forms have come to kidnap the children, and Ogma is lost in the fog. She must find hope, find courage in herself, and find her friends.

A novel for readers who enjoy rich worldbuilding in the style of Hayao Miyazaki, a unique cast of creatures and characters that harkens back to L. Frank Baum and Arthur Rackham, and the bonds of found family akin to the work of Maggie Stiefvater and Makoto Shinkai.
