Had something really upsetting happen (if you follow me on tumblr, that’s where I talk about it) and it’s amazing how much the calmness of Vaelin helps calm me down, because these panic attacks are beyond fucked.

Damn, going from acosf to this is like having whiplash. This book is pretty hetero- and cisnormative, but it's so good that it doesn't bother me that much. The writing and world-building and plot and characters more than make up for it.

I love the others, but Nortah remains my favorite (helps I read Raven’s Blade before Raven’s Shadow, I suppose)

“It’s ironic don’t you think?” Nortah asked after a moment. “If we’d never been given to the Order most likely we’d have become enemies, like our fathers. And our sons would have been enemies, maybe even their sons, and on and on it would have gone. At least this way it ends before it could begin.”

This is giving me Raven’s Blade feels

Seeing Vaelin with Spit after seeing him with Derka is lovely. He really does get the grumpy horses 😂

If Scratch doesn’t make it I’m gonna fucking lose it.

I didn’t plan to read this, but here we are. I’m either in the mood for strict fantasy (aka that without romance) or romance (so long as it’s queer or by an author I already like). Fantasy won this round.
