More reasons to read A Man of His Word/A Handful of Men (as if you needed any):

-Almost the entire cast is POC

-World has realistic sexism and racism but the POC and women have agency

-A bisexual female love story literally saves the world

-AGAN (All Gods Are Nonbinary)

-Nuanced portrayals of abuse and abusive relationships

The Gods: Y O U S H A L L O B E Y

Rap: How about no

Sometimes I think about A Man of His Word and I realize that the Sequentials are a metaphor for Dissociative Identity Disorder.

This series was published 30 years ago and it’s the best thing I’ve ever read and more people should know about it.

Just realized Gath gave Kadie the magic invisible sword because his prescience was telling him some mad shit was about to go down and he just wanted to keep his twin sister safe

Dave Duncan’s A Man of His Word and A Handful of Men are among the greatest works of high fantasy in existence. His world building is on par with Tolkien and the books which take place in Pandemia are criminally underrated.

That is all.

Hi yes I’m just having a lot of feelings rn

Anyway remember how Inos and Rap named their kids after their dearest guardians and surrogate parents??

BECAUSE I DO

Rap: Jotnar? I doubt that Nordland has many as sorcerers.

Me: EEEEEEEEEH

'Speak. Amuse me.' 'I have nothing to say to a turd like you.' His eyes narrowed. 'Revenge is very sweet, Inosolan.' I’m sure it will be.
