when in doubt draw more liveship traders

[cliozaur]

One of the attractions of The Liveship Traders trilogy is the abundance of women’s POVs. One of its key themes is women’s struggle to gain status and authority in the patriarchal environment of Bingtown and Jamaillia. At various points, at least three female characters—Althea, Malta, and Serilla—wish they were men in order to achieve their goals, or express envy of men’s freedom and opportunities. Althea has to pretend to be a boy to obtain a position on a ship.

And then we have Beloved, who knowingly and consciously chooses to live as a woman in this female-unfriendly part of the world: always a rebel, choosing a difficult path, going against the grain.

it’s crazy how quickly i went from rooting for serilla to waiting for her to die…or at least let go of the power grasping and present herself as an equal, integral part of the bingtown community. this tyrant act is just sad. and irritating!

my friend is reading rote for the first time and livetexting me every second and her takes are fucking hilarious. but I needed to share this one re: Serilla with the tumblr rote community

It is hilarious to see back to back POVs from Ronica and Serilla when Serilla walks into a Trader meeting in a super ornate outfit. Ronica perceives it as an insult to throw wealth in the face of people who had recently been razed and looted, and Serilla thinks that they’ll respect her more if she’s dressed in silk and pearls
