I get why The Goblin Emperor is people's 500 page court intrigue comfort read now. It's the fantasy of having greatness thrust on you and rising to the occasion. It's the fantasy of tipping the scales by being so resolutely kind and good all the time. It's the alienation and loneliness everybody feels at 18 made undeniable, and then slowly lessened. It's also the fantasy of having a very competent secretary

One of the things I love and appreciate about The Goblin Emperor is that Katherine Addison has the guts not to give Maia any real loopholes to get out of the system.

Maia is incredibly kind and compassionate, and its inescapably obvious that his kindness and compassion are why he manages to be a successful emperor in the end. But at the same time, one of Maia's jobs is to be the Trolley Problem Operator and the book ends with executions.

And I like that. When I was younger I liked it when protagonists discovered the Secret Third Option at the last minute. It seemed heroic. Now, it mostly irritates me.

I'd like to share with y'all a project I've poured my heart and soul into over the last couple of years: a database cataloguing every single older queer science fiction book I've managed to track down, consisting of just over 200 titles with LGBT characters/themes & by LGBT authors, spanning over a century (1880-2000) 🚀

The database can be filtered by representation, subgenre, whether the book is currently in print, and more; additionally, it includes my own ratings & brief thoughts on the ones i have read, if anyone needs a suggestion on places to start! (or feel free to shoot me an ask for a more personalized recommendation)

Just found something by accident on Pinterest of all places, and thought this was the post to add it to! "Forgotten Female Fantasy" is a blog that reviews un-recognized vintage fantasy/sci-fi written by women! I don't think they're active anymore, but they've got quite a backlog!

If you're at all interested in vintage SFF, I think this is a great resource to dig around in! (also there's like tons of really pretty covers)

Check it out here!
