svir punching baru for being homophobic...moments in lgbt herstory

#the way he reacts is so good tho. he LIKED tain hu! he had no idea she'd be executed for real!#and baru clearly terrifies him AND makes him angry. it's so good how he freaks out at her #baru lb

the extent to which aminata wishes she was tain hu is insane

#like. it’s not like seth would never be subtle about smth but rereading baru rly makes it SO interesting #in life in death i am yours -> you will be my field captain. aminata wishes this were her SO bad she doesn’t even know.#it’s literally her dream job #baru lb

WELL. THE BOOK IS CALLED THE TRAITOR BARU CORMORANT.

I love the book I'm reading bc the main character has been given so much power but is still only like 18 or 19 and has confusing bisexual crushes on half the people she meets including the woman who just kind of implied she wants to torture her to death

SD writes women with so much humanity and allows them to rly run the gamut morality speaking and allows them a relationship to their sexuality that's varied and respectfully depicted but they are also sometimes like hehe what if an evil woman was really hot and I'm like thank you so much kind author I do like a hot evil woman

#okay this is mostly abt shao lune but listen. I love her. she's the worst #anyway this is why baru is like my top choice for resding abt women #even stories w well-written women that I really enjoy like liveship (kind of) or wicked #just don't hit the way all of baru's female characters do #I just love them all...#baru lb

baru's breakthrough that her savant title and individual intelligence is not more meaningful or powerful than centuries of accumulated knowledge. mwah

#her crowning achievement in realizing that other people exist!!!#and she got over her craving for power too. not lon #no longer baru 'power abuse' cormorant!! she trusts others! shes ready to sacrifice!!#baru lb

tain shir is SO cool as a character bc usually characters who are weapons have some kind of authority that wields them who they have a fraught relationship with but tain shir says no. I am a weapon and I wield myself and nobody will stop what I'm going to do here because I recognize no authority. she's so sick

#kind of like breq ancillary justice #but breq doesn't rly identify as a weapon it's just what she literally is #which makes the metaphor a little boring idk. it's too literal #meanwhile tain shir is a lerson who BECAME a weapon. a killing tool #baru lb

I listened to almost 8 hours of tyrant on the drive up which was SO satisfying. I enjoy tyrant a lot, actually. there's a lot that happens that feels satisfying and baru develops significantly in ways she didn't in monster. the failed lobotomy scene and tain shir's confrontation were both so exciting and presented CHANGES which I felt were desperately needed...

monster was like....it wasn't wheel-spinning bc things WERE happening it was just slower and less productive and sadder and more repetitive. like it makes sense bc of what happened and who baru is as a person but it was a bit of a struggle to read sometimes 😭 but yeah I'm loving tyrant

#baru lb #not that tyrant isn't also repetitive 😭#there's only so many times you need to repeat the same lore and concepts
