I'm gonna have to read the Sabriel books aren't I

I love how much Darcie Little Badger loves prehistoric plants and creatures

getting to the KJ Parker piece like FINALLY some good fucking FOOD

just scrolling through the table of contents is making me salivate. my brain can't comprehend so many amazing authors in one place. and all the stories are NEW

extremely fun premise and storytelling framework so far thanks ms walton

my smug vegetarian ass eating up this book's anti-meat-industry agenda like a particularly crunchy and well-seasoned tofu cube 😏

this is getting very "a plague on both your houses." I think your prime suspect should be Mercutio

I do love when we invent aesthetics such as "goth botanical cowboycore"

one of the made-up names in this book is so similar to an obscure real family name that afaik very few people have that I'm like. has this guy met one of us??

"they wore a pale red" you mean fucking pink??

LEMURS?? 🤩

10/10 scene no notes. throw that nazi out the fuckin window

hell yeah brother you yeet that child!! fuck them kids!!

this book wants to be Mulholland Drive so bad. and so far it's... not terrible at it? jury's still out on whether our drive is truly mullhollanding

not this protagonist dropping out of the same university I dropped out of 💀

hilarious when nikki is freaking out about student loans and walden is like calm down kid this isn’t america

not walden’s takeaway from reencountering her ex-girlfriend being “it would never work out with laura because my type is Bad People” (beat) “guess I’ll go home and continue to let the Bad Person I’m seeing hang out around the children in my care"

due to this and The Red Winter I now want a little symbiotic demon buddy sooooo bad

loving how every single description of Laura is like "the hottest dyke you'd EVER seen in your LIFE butched lesbianly across the room"

august clarke sure loves to describe light bulbs as “uvular”

YEAHHH I GUESSED THE KILLER!! everyone cheer and clap

this author sure loves the imagery of a mutated corpse overgrown with plant matter

these books really are so eminently readable. you blink and it’s been 100 pages

don't get me wrong I'm loving Din's slut era but this attitude of "all the men in the bar were uggos so I switched to the women" seems more like a Straight's idea of how bi people behave than how actual bi people behave

“How cruel it was to throw a steak-fed, buttercreamy American child into Asia and ask: Could you survive here? Could you fit in?” banger sentences rebecca I'm dying @ “steak-fed buttercreamy American child.” I think I’m more of a pasta-fed, center-of-an-Oreo-creamy American child myself

was trying to figure out who Shea/this situation reminds me of and I realized… she's Kaede from Inuyasha. the devoted younger sister of the broad the eldritch dark lord™ is obsessed with, who gets traumatically caught in the crossfire, but whom that older sister never entirely trusts or is open with? it’s Kaede!! there are even threats of Eyeball Stuff! I always knew Kaede was a lesbian

I gotta say, I'm so far enjoying this way more than I've enjoyed Saft's previous works. There's something compelling about the superficial but high stakes of Shea getting her sister back vs the deeper stakes of Shea getting her ~groove~ back

I just know the shea/ciara chess RPF goes crazy. is there chess RPF? there should be

you mean this guy lived in medieval times and then after his 200 year faerie sabbatical he came back and it was renaissance times?? hurts to see other people living your dreams

I read historical fiction about Anne of Brittany with the energy of a child listening to the story of Orpheus and Eurydice for the 500th time. MAYBE THIS TIME WE'LL DEFEAT FRANCE 🥺
