Currently reading Priory of the Orange Tree and the difference in pacing between the character povs is just wild to me. Like everyone else would be like "Murder. Explosions. Six people I know died. I got promoted 3 times. 4 more assassins defeated." Meanwhile Tane would be over here like "I woke up. I got dressed. I went outside. I got in the palanquin. My legs hurt from sitting here."

Theory: the butterfly at the end of The Priory of the Orange Tree is Kwiriki.

Kwiriki was known to take the form of a butterfly, and at the same time as Tané  notices the butterfly, we find that the stitches in her side have opened, and she’s bleeding.

Previously in the book, Tané recalled climbing a mountain and getting the overwhelming sense that Kwirki was both ‘with her’ and ‘within her’

We know that when Tané was a child, her parents put the jewel in her side to keep it safe. I think that when that happened, Kwiriki took the form of a butterfly and slipped inside too, perhaps to keep the jewel safe, or to keep Tané safe, or both.

Then at the end of Priory, the jewel has been removed from Tané’s body, the Nameless One is defeated, and Kwiriki no longer needs to be so close to Tané to protect her, so he slips out again. When Tané thought of Kwiriki as being ‘within her’ he was literally within her; in her side, along with the jewel.

Illumicrate’s Roots of Chaos set made me literally cry by putting my favourite quote on the back:

“To be kin to a dragon, you must not only have a soul of water. You must have the blood of the sea, and the sea is not always pure. It is not any one thing. There is darkness in it, and danger, and cruelty. It can raze great cities with its rage. Its depths are unknowable; they do not see the touch of the sun.”

That illustration is glorious *__*

Here together with the Day of Fallen Night one

Also the naked covers fit together, how cool is that?

Bonus for the Waterstones copy. I’ve seen other signed endpapers before but this is my enchanting favourite:

The Broken Binding set is apparently still available too, if you want it

I LOVE HER SM

currently rereading priory and i can’t stop thinking about her

[meanderingstar]

i'm so fucking jealous of Tané Miduchi ... like the girl is an A+ fighter, an ambassador of her country, the descendant of a legendary mage-queen, and has a shimmering water dragon as her very own emotional support godmother

what a life

I am half way through the priory of the orange tree and I am starting to loveeeee itttttt. It took me forever to get into it but I’m glad I continued. It’s SO GOOD!!

I don’t know if I have a favorite character yet but here’s a drawing of Tané.
