Every Empire Demands Revolution.

Touraine is a soldier. Stolen as a child and raised to kill and die for the empire, her only loyalty is to her fellow conscripts. But now, her company has been sent back to her homeland to stop a rebellion, and the ties of blood may be stronger than she thought.

Luca needs a turncoat. Someone desperate enough to tiptoe the bayonet’s edge between treason and orders. Someone who can sway the rebels toward peace, while Luca focuses on what really matters: getting her uncle off her throne.

Through assassinations and massacres, in bedrooms and war rooms, Touraine and Luca will haggle over the price of a nation. But some things aren’t for sale.

Date added: 2021

Goodreads: 3.82

Storygraph: 3.89

PRO:

queernorm (I think) fantasy setting!!!

Big chonky fantasy

Storygraph informs me the characters are complex with lots of development

Available from the library in my preferred format (audiobook)

CON:

Dark. Dark dark dark. Not always my thing but if the writing holds up I can go with it.

Also seems like it's going to be focusing on pretty big-scale problems, which is also not my main preference these days. BUT -

So are we all in agreement that Touraine El-Qazali is Louis de Point du Lac, Luca Ancier is Lestat de Lioncourt, and Sabine de Durfort is Armand?? We are all in agreement yes??

Dear wish of mine, that is before Ambessa's novel drops, Toks, Ellen, and C.L. Clark promote the characters and mother/daughter dynamic on the socials. Give me all the interviews, posts, fan answers, etc.

As per last year there are a fair amount of sequels coming out this year that I am excited about (and some of them have really fabulous covers) sooo I'll be tracking them on here! I just can not wait for some of these!! Dates are subject to change throughout the year. There will be another one of these when more covers are released :)

The Faithless Cover Is Giving Big Dyke Energy

C. L. Clark's follow up to The Unbroken is sure to deliver on all the thirsty sword lesbian drama and magic bullshit that we could possibly

may 9th 2021 • a couple of snapshots from the last couple of weeks. i’ve been doing good, i’ve been reading great books, i started writing my wip, i also started a new medication for my depression and reading outside most of the time (that is when it’s not cold lol!) life has been good lately. i’m still on sick leave because of my depression and i won’t be going back to work but that’s okay. i’ve got to take care of myself first. and i’m pretty happy with everything right now even if i’m struggling a bit. so yeah. here’s to taking baby steps and manifesting our best lives and actually loving them out!
