Mercy Thompson Re-read

So I bought the newest Patricia Briggs book, Smoke Bitten, and I said I wasn't going to re-read the whole series to get to book 12 and here we are 2 days later and I've read books 1-4 so let's make this official!

[grangerdangerschuylersister]

I have to say, books 1-3 might be my favorite. Also, despite the fact that I'm going all in on this quest with the short stories and spin offs, I think I prefer waiting until after Bone Crossed or later because knowing about Ariana is Silver takes away some of the tension with Samuel's arc

[grangerdangerschuylersister]

Moon Called

Ah the first book, where it all began. Shout out to my sister who bought this book first and made me read it.

I love the seeing things that will later become plot points.

The scene with Dr. Wallace made me cry

Samuel is broken *see foreshadowing for calling Samuel Sam

This book's Bad dude - Gerry Wallace

Adam starts a courtship. Of course it wasn't just because of Bran, silly Mercy.

Ben is an ass but he protec

We meet Gabriel!

I love how much of a team Adam and Mercy are right from the get go. All of their interactions are gold.

[grangerdangerschuylersister]

Blood Bound

I had forgotten a lot of the details on this one. I think because I love the book on either side so much. It's vampire time!

Honestly you could be forgiven for thinking the vampire scene in the first book happened in this one if you were like me and jumbled up some details before your re read

Current bad dude - demon riding sorcerer vampire with an unassuming name haha

In a school yard voice: Stefan loves Mercy, Stefan loves Mercy

Poor Ben and Warren (and Adam and Samuel and Stefan)

Kyle rules

Enter ghost plotlines

[grangerdangerschuylersister]

Iron Kissed

It's very clear

[grangerdangerschuylersister]

Moon Called Reread

Was reading short stories and whoops now I'm rereading this one.

But what's funny is this go around I'm picking up on so many little moments where Mercy is the trickster. I don't think she even realizes later in the series just how much of her is innately coyote the trickster

[charlataninred]

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

[meraarts]

Might I add:

The defeat of the wizard who made people choose how they’d be to be executed

The woman who raised the changeling alongside her biological child

The human who died of radiation poisoning after repairing the spaceship

And here’s more.

The way Lloyd is so protective of his team really shines in 1x04. He is so mad at Charlie for giving Erica bad emotional advice that he calls him a jackass lol

[grangerdangerschuylersister]

Elizabeth Kerner's Song in the Silence trilogy has been the absolute perfect Autumn reread.

The Song in the Silence, the Lesser Kindred, and Redeeming the Lost are such wonderful perfect books in my mind. Peak fantasy. True love. Real emotions. Laughter and magic. Dragons and demons.

They hold such a special place in my heart.

[grangerdangerschuylersister]

Remember in Charlie's Angels how Drew Barrymore's character always had a crush on the bad guy?

My crush on Halbrand is so strong I think he's Sauron (he forges, hellooooo)

[sillydodobird]

I am obsessed with this theory now 🤩

[grangerdangerschuylersister]

MIND BLOWN.

Brilliant

Rings of Power

Spoiler for ep 3

OK but listening to the podcast of Don Marshall on Decoding TV and it's so funny to me that they were so shocked by the brutal decaravaning of the Harfoots. I thought it was wonderfully primitive and meshes well with the idea that we all kind of came up with that Harfoots are "Proto-Hobbits"

Like clearly their life hasn't always been easy, with their fear of the big men hunters and how they must always be migrating.

Gotta give Tom Sturridge credit for doing a hell of an acting job in the premiere when his job is to give a convincing hour-long performance while 1) mute, 2) naked, 3) in a fishbowl 

[grangerdangerschuylersister]

The bee is back!

[grangerdangerschuylersister]

You know, as I get older than the protagonists of most of my books, I think it would be so cool if Anna from Alpha and Omega had been middle aged instead of a college student.

I do love it as is - but wouldn't it be cool to see how the transformation to a younger body, the disillusionment of a settled and lived in world, affect a woman?

[thenotoriousscuttlecliff]

If Wheel of Time really wants to be faithful to the books then every episode should start with an hour long cold open featuring 20 different characters.

It's what Robert Jordan would’ve wanted.

Zoë Robins and Daniel Henney as Nynaeve al'Meara and Lan Mandragoran
