The question isn’t: How do I stop feeling this way? That’s stupid. I can’t. The question is: What can I do with this feeling?

—Blood Over Bright Haven by M.I. Wang.

[critical-quoter]

Because good people can turn desperate when the horrors are upon them--especially people whose culture of plenty has left them with no systems to cope with scarcity or cataclysm. Good people will turn monstrous when it's down to their survival or someone else's.

Blood Over Bright Haven - M.L. Wang

[imjustheretomooch]

I love a (well foreshadowed) plot twist as much as the next person but I also really love about a story you know from the very outset is a tragedy. I'm not talking about Romeo and Juliet or The Titanic or The Song of Achilles where they're famous for being a tragic (or based on a famous story where everyone knows the ending), I'm talking about the books where the tone is set to be a tragedy so clearly from the beginning but you just don't know how yet.

have an incomplete list ive complied

Little Mushroom by Shisi (it's just so dystopian and just keeps getting worse to the point where a happy ending would be so out of line with the story, even though I would call the ending pretty happy)

The Daughter's War by Christopher Buehlman (it goes all in on just how gd gruesome and nonsensical war can be. I knew the whole time is was going to be a slaughter, i was mostly trying to guess who might survive)

Angels Before Men by Rafael Nicolás (it's a retelling of Lucifer's fall so you know that he's going to fall at the end, but how? what pushes the sweet, shy angel in the beginning to that point? i read this whole thing with a pit in my stomach)

When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi (maybe this is cheating bc it is famous and a tragedy, but it's clear from page 1 that he dies and the slow spiral there was incredibly painful)

Blood Over Bright Haven by ml wang (so I actually didn't see it coming at all but my friend tells me it was damn obvious from halfway through so I'll take her word for it. Sciona literally tells the audience, albeit indirectly, what she is going to do and you have to wait in sick anticipation to see if she'll follow through)

The Traitor Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson (this one is an odd one because some people see it and some don't. all i can say is that the entire book the reader constantly doubts Baru's loyalties to everyone, even to herself, and it's incredibly stressful)

It’s so so terrible but it amuses me a little bit that Sciona-- a mage who is pretty horrible to most people in her life and is well known amongst her loved ones to be a cold hearted, self absorbed asshole-- asks the people around her how on earth they can live with the truth and their unanimous reaction is surprise that she would care. Like wow. Imagine being such a heinous bitch that everyone is shocked that you’re mad that innocents die 

[imjustheretomooch]

75% of the way through Blood Over Bright Haven... I was M. L. Wang's biggest fan after Sword of Kaigen but I'm now convinced she is actually god. I'm literally shaking out of my bones this book is so good

“It’s much easier to tell yourself you’re a good person than it is to actually be one.”

“So many parents will try to kill everything brilliant about a girl in the name of giving her a good life, a safe life, a chance at happiness.”

“Because good people can turn desperate when the horrors are upon them—especially people whose culture of plenty has left them with no systems to cope with scarcity or cataclysm. Good people will turn monstrous when it’s down to their survival or someone else’s.”

“You know, arrogance never made a woman more attractive.' 'When I care how attractive you find me, I'll let you know.”

— It was like the first book I read by ML Wang, I became attached to the characters faster than any other book I've read this year. I usually don't care about characters in a standalone; there isn't enough time and development for me to care, but that doesn't happen here. It was such a quick read, I couldn't put the book down and I became immensely attached to both protagonists.

Everyone who uses chatgpt for every tiny little thing should sit down and read Blood Over Bright Haven by M L Wang. Truly such an incredible commentary on who pays the cost for the energy we use and whether or not it's worth it.
