There’s something so soothing about compiling and formatting data, y’all.

The worst thing about the Crescent City cover is that I have to recolor that part of my organizer. It WAS yellow. Now I have to do red? Ugh. I have pink for ACoTaR already!

I was about to say of KoA 'at least there are some substantial chapters here' but then it turned out I'd just missed the start of the next chapter so I was counting two. Whoops.

If you are interested in reading another series that SJM borrowed heavily from, it's called the Black Dagger Brotherhood by J.R. Ward. SJM gets inspiration for: tattoos and mating bonds, fight terminology and style, fashion, royalty, and even the way her fae reproduce. (Super painful periods? Check. Children few and far in between and cherished? Check.) Ward also has the same flavor of misogyny mixed with watered down white feminism in her writing. I would love to read chapter snark of BDB!

Hooboy the Black Dagger Brotherhood.I am not sure I have the emotional wherewithal to get through the Black Dagger Brotherhood. I've read many a review of them from Smartbitches Read Trashy Books and they sound distinctly like books I Will Not Enjoy. Like, Black Jewels is readable (compulsively so) even though I don't like them, and I've invested way too much time and effort into ToG to quit now. Black Dagger Brotherhood... I mean. I guess I have to read one eventually for The Ongoing Project? I'm just no looking forward to it. The thing to understand about Black Dagger Brotherhood though is that it knows what it is. It's not trying to pretend it's Epic Fantasy about good people, from what I understand. Half my frustration with ToG is that, much like its narrative, its marketing is trying to sell me something different than what it actually is? So I might not be as mad at BDB. THAT BEING SAID if I'm reading one anyway and people want my thoughts on it, sure. I'll do a thing with it.

So I'm rereading The Black Jewels to confirm/dismiss ToG's Suspicious Similarities (send help) and obviously the whole thing is pretty blatant misogyny wrapped in thin but shiny girl power tissue paper but there are little things that stick out to me even more this time around. I mean very little.

Why, in a society that ostensibly accepts and applauds female dominance and the knowledge that ladies have more magic than the menfolk, would a character think of a ring setting as 'deceptively feminine'? Like, maybe if it was a low-ranked jewel and everybody was like 'you really went all out on that setting huh you want us to think you're super powerful?' but this is the most powerful jewel and ladies are supposed to be more powerful in this setting. If anything the character should be thinking about how characteristically feminine it is or something.

WORLDBUILDING. THINK THROUGH YOUR IMPLICATIONS.

I think the tabs look pretty against the dark blue.

(there’s 48 fragments in the second chapter alone, and keep an eye on the red ‘Suspicious Similarities’ tabs)
