Not like I wanna be touchy but Black Magician Trilogy set a certain standard for me when it comes to famale protagonist fantasy with a dose of romance and tbh it ruined me as a reader for many other books because apparently I have standards and they're high?
And that makes me wonder why is that so and why BMT isn't that popular after all while there are bestselling books that are seemingly similar but so much worse? Which makes me realise that no, what's printed isn't actually the best, compared to beautiful ff I've read, it's just pure marketing combined with the fact that as readers we often choose easier content, pleasure over quality.
But I would love to be proven wrong, so if you have any book recommendations that beat BMT but aren't a completely different genre, please try me!
I just realized I’d really appreciate a scene (in the post Akkarin-gets-to-know-Rothen-knows but before Sonea is into helping him in any way phase) in which for some unknown to me reason all three of them plus Cery meet in one room. So Sonea and Rothen stay literally on the other end of the room than Akkarin and look at him like he killed a man (XDDD) and try to be pain in his ass while Cery is there grateful to his core and tries to make them in peace like, guys, but Akkarin is a cool dude, stop antagonising him
The literature section wastes no time. Quite the contrary! The guest announcement starts out with a bang, with the introduction of a world-renowed author. We are pleased to announce that Trudi Canavan will be the guest of the jubilee edition of Pyrkon!
So, in case you didn’t know (cause I’m slow and got to know today and it seems like I’m the only source of content and info about Trudi Canavan on Tumblr, ups) Trudi Canavan will be the guest of Pyrkon, the annual fantasy convention hosted in Poznań, Poland (about 3h from Warsaw and 3h from Berlin, literally midway between them) on 8th-10th May 2020.
I cannot confirm it but, basing on my previous experience with the convention, the dedicated meeting with the author will be hosted in English (or with a Polish translator, but most likely just in English) and there will be a chance to get your books signed. Probably there will also be some panels on literature with Trudi Canavan and other guests, entirely in English. For more information: the organizers should share a preliminary schedule at the end of March.
Because the event will take place alongside with the premiere of her new book Trudi wrote on her website that there may be some other meetings in Europe around the date, so check out if it’s not in your area if you’re interested and cannot come to Pyrkon ;)
At the Pyrkon website you can find all the information you need both in English and Polish, but if you have any questions feel free to hit me (it will be my n-th Pyrkon so I kinda can help and give you answers)
Also: I usually don’t ask for that, but please reblog if you think that any of your followers may be actually interested in coming, or just to spread the news :)
That is unless #thevirus won’t kill us by the time :v
Would anyone be interested in Black Magician Trilogy universe gift exchange (fanfic/ fanart) for Xmas/ after Xmas 2019? Please let me know. If there’s any interest, I can try and host an event
Fallacies PS (The Black Magician Trilogy, Akkanea)
pls :3
Huhuhuuuu so Fallacies (my literal best fic to this day) is the usual run-of-the-mill The High Lord fix-it/ rewrite where nobody important dies but for plot reasons Akkaneas relationship didn't fit in so by the end they weren't together.
Fallacies PS takes place a few years later and is about them finally getting together :3
Just let me leave my very old, very bad BMT fanart from 2009 here.
(This is in German and I'm too lazy to edit the pic: this is from book 3 after the confrontation with Parika at the South pass during which Dorrien was almost killed. Akkarin is saying "Sonea I was scared I'd lose you", Sonea replies "No, if we die, we die together" (lololol) while poor Dorrien is bleeding out in the background)
In my defense, I was 17 when I made these.
I have more where this came from but I'm too embarrassed to show THOSE :DDD
