sometimes I think that pain and misery is all we have left in this world. we are on the brink of a precipice, wars, droughts, climate change, economic collapse, injustices all around and it really makes me wonder why I'm doing anything anyway because we are all doomed. but then I wake up each day, and there is a tree in front of my house with new flower buds, my mum smiles when she sees me and I saw a wide eyed newborn baby girl two days ago. people will be dancing in the streets soon and nights will be filled with laughter. the sand and the sea are waiting for me, and there is music and art and books that I haven't gotten my hands on yet. we may be going toward a terrible future, but we may still be in time to change it, because life is worth living no matter what comes next.

I want to live, because life is... life is worth it. Because as long as we can imagine a better world, we should stick around to see it. Even if it doesn't exist yet. Even if we have to build it from scratch, brick by muddy brick.

A Soul-Hugging Duology

Any book that begins with "I shouldn't have been surprised to learn that faeries exist" automatically has my attention. When you pair that opening line with an ensemble cast of found family members and an immensely compelling protagonist, that book not only has my interest, it's likely to have my love too.

Ok, this duology hits SO MANY notes for me. Mom trauma. Found family. Going from complete isolation to needing to sleep in a pile with your found family to avoid council sickness. Family drama. Intergenerational trauma and breaking the cycle. Ace and Aro representation. One hell of an earworm of a chant. Magical sleeper agent. True love (but not what you think). Memory and who controls narratives. Magic.

My abiding emotional memory of these books is a big literary hug that I hadn't known I needed, and these books well and truly deserve more hype than they got on release. I literally cannot recommend Raybearer and Rededmptor enough.

Maurice Summary:

As Maurice Hall makes his way through a traditional English education, he projects an outer confidence that masks troubling questions about his own identity. Frustrated and unfulfilled, a product of the bourgeoisie he will grow to despise, he has difficulty acknowledging his nascent attraction to men. At Cambridge he meets Clive, who opens his eyes to a less conventional view of the nature of love. Yet when Maurice is confronted by the societal pressures of life beyond university, self-doubt and heartbreak threaten his quest for happiness.

Raybearer and Redemptor Summary:

Tarisai has always longed for the warmth of a family. She was raised in isolation by a mysterious, often absent mother known only as The Lady. The Lady sends her to the capital of the global empire of Aritsar to compete with other children to be chosen as one of the Crown Prince's Council of Eleven. If she's picked, she'll be joined with the other Council members through the Ray, a bond deeper than blood. That closeness is irresistible to Tarisai, who has always wanted to belong somewhere. But The Lady has other ideas, including a magical wish that Tarisai is compelled to obey: kill the Crown Prince once she gains his trust.

Tarisai won't stand by and become someone's pawn - but is she strong enough to choose a different path for herself?

Raybearer and Redemptor by Jordan Ifueko still holding the top spot for me at this point. I love this world and these characters so much. One of those fantasy stories that makes you really consider things in real life.

There's something very satisfying about sitting down to read a series that's complete, ready and waiting for you to crack open and devour it. Finishing a series also requires readers to have supported each book along the way as they came out. Well, these duologies, trilogies, and series by authors of color are finished, available to be read entire. We've previously reviewed every entry on this list and included links to those thoughts for anyone who wants a bit more detail. While it's entirely possible that these authors may publish associated stories in the future (either sequels or just set in the same story universe), what's available now feels complete. Each entry includes the synopsis from the first book in the series.

Blurb

'Tarisai has always longed for the warmth of a family. She was raised in isolation by a mysterious, often absent mother known only as The Lady.

'The Lady sends her to the capital of the global empire of Aritsar to compete with other children to be chosen as one of the Crown Prince's Council of Eleven. If she's picked, she'll be joined with the other Council members through the Ray, a bond deeper than blood. That closeness is irresistible to Tarisai, who has always wanted to belong somewhere. But The Lady has other ideas, including a magical wish that Tarisai is compelled to obey: kill the Crown Prince once she gains his trust.

'Tarisai won't stand by and become someone's pawn - but is she strong enough to choose a different path for herself?'

Overview

As you have probably guessed from the 5 stars, I have no complaints. Such a unique and vivid story, and a beautiful twist that was set up so well yet still managed to be surprising.

I also love how one of my least favourite tropes managed to be avoided by adding representation ( if you've read it you'll know what I mean.) It's proof that writers don't have to follow the same clichés to make an effective plot!

Also look at this map. I can't resist fantasy book maps. I never use them, but still feel disappointed in their absence.

I love it

Redemptor by Jordan Ifueko

I read Raybearer the month it came out, way back in Summer 2020. When the sequel came out, I was too involved in other things. I loved the first book, and if you have the time, and the stomach for some very well written YA, try it out.

Redemptor is the sequel to the first book, which was needed after a rather significant cliffhanger. I try to keep these spoiler free, so know that the continuation of the story was needed, and well done mostly. The characters are still atrong, although some of the council siblings are less prominent than before, and of course other characters take their place, many of whom are at least as charming as those they replace. There’s also a much stronger horror element, which mostly adds to the narrative.

Overall though, it feels less realized than the original book, but it is by no means bad. The overcoming of abuse that defined the first book has instead been traded for a narrative of becoming your true self. Less powerful in its delivery, but still good. On the whole, I think this book makes for a good end to the series, and I’ll keep my eyes open for whatever Ifueko makes next.
