have you read any books you liked recently? I think I remember you tagging a post with Traitor Baru? so I’m curious what other books you like!
omg im so sorry i have nO IDEA when this was sent and i never check my asks because no one speaks to me on this app since i became a withered crone (25+)
THANK YOU yes i love to talk about books. i read the 3 baru books out in a whirl back in Jan and became obsessed. a+ political intrigue fantasy combo’d with heart breaking romance. GREAT STUFF
other books.....well, to keep this from being agonisingly long heres some stuff i read and loved in 2021!!
anything by silvia moreno-garcia (i went on a complete binge and devoured everything i could get my hands on, if i had to pick my top faves would be velvet was the night, mexican gothic and the beautiful ones but honestly i read them all in like 8 days and loved them so whatever one appeals the most GO FOR IT)
vespertine - margaret rogerson (i love necromancers, and this was SO fun - also don’t be put off by the fact its 1 in a series, its that rare miracle of a fantasy novel that has a complete narrative)
the blacktongue thief - christopher buehlman (just a very unique set up for a world despite appearances on the tin. did a lot of stuff i didn’t expect and genuinely intrigued by where the author will go from here)
anything by shirley jackson (i specifically read hangsaman this year - but everything she writes is breathtaking.)
the mask of mirrors - m. a carrick (great intrigue/heist fantasy and the second one has just come out so it’s now a complete duology! don’t let the page count intimidate you this one rly flew by for me. if you liked six of crows i REALLY recommend this one)
the witness for the dead - katherine addison (if you HAVENT read goblin emperor what ARE you doing. the sequel also blew my brain thanks again katherine for ruining my life)
i also went back and re-read the entire old kingdom series by garth nix, who is very near and dear to my heart as i loved sabriel since i was a Wee Sass. if you want just a solid fantasy, great heroine and necromancy this is such a good series
