#The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland In a Ship of Her Own Making

[autumnmobile12]

In a fantasy book series I read a while back, the main character encountered a pair of witch sisters who shared a husband. The husband was a 'reverse werewolf,' so he was a wolf most of the time, but during a full moon, he turned into a man.

One witch sister said she was married to the man while the other said she was married to the wolf.

...

...anyway, this is how I imagine these three explain their relationship when they're tired of explaining their relationship and they just want to confuse people for kicks.

I remember reading this when I was thirteen or so and feeling so understood. Thinking about how quickly my heart had grown, how I never got on well with my heartless cousins and classmates, always in the mood to do nothing more than read or study.

This book always comforted me, as a neurodivergent kid/teen. It understood better than any story explicitly about neurodivergence ever did, in that special way fantasy stories so often do.

Stories have a way of changing faces. They are unruly things, undisciplined, given to delinquency and the throwing of erasers. This is why we must close them up into thick, solid books, so they cannot get out and cause trouble.

S. J. Tucker was so real for reading The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland In a Ship of Her Own Making (one of the greatest books of all time) and deciding to write and entire album about it. So true queen I see you I hear you

HOWDY!

Have you been searching for a long YA series that gave you the same ecstatic experience as reading a novel under your covers with a flashlight? (While avoiding modern YA that’s rank with bad smut) (and also trying not to read something that’s made for fifth graders)

DO I HAVE SOME SERIES FOR YOU!

*whispers seductively in your ear*

“Four books or more in a series…easy to find at your local library.”

Straight fucking banger. Neurodivergent children infiltrate an oppressive school to take down a machine of misinformation and propaganda.

This book blows most autistic representation out of the water for me. It is absolutely phenomenal and so witty and funny to read. The whole series is AMAZING. The prequel series is genuinely a jaw dropping emotional experience about love and appreciation for the universe. Sci fi at its wittiest.

Fantasy that kills ACOTAR and Fourth Wing stone dead. A girl called September goes on an epic and absurd quest through Fairyland to overthrow its Queen. When I say the world building and mythology is good for this, you won’t understand. All I can say is Neil Gaiman fucking loves this book.

Historical fantasy that will make you froth at the mouth to wear a cloak in the wilderness. It’s a long series compared to these other two, I think about fourteen books in total? Maybe more. Will is chosen to become a Ranger, part of an elite group of the King’s men that serve as scouts and sheriffs in the effort to prevent war growing between nations.

Where most historical fantasy authors sort of throw vague descriptions of weapons and military methods at you, Flanagan will literally spend two paragraphs just describing the beauty of an English longbow in tender, loving detail. It’s witty, it’s fun, it has suspense and some top notch whiny teen with pissed off mentor moments. Plus short king rep.

In conclusion!

reread the girl who circumnavigated fairyland in a ship of her own making last week. i used to carry that book around with me everywhere as a kid; still don't like being in a new space without it, but i haven't actually reread very frequently. very pleased to announce that it still makes me feel crazy in the same ways it did when i was nine and twelve and fourteen. i have to find my younger selves and scoop them up and tell them all. like you know what september singing her death to sleep with the lullaby her mother used for her as her body decays in the worsted wood WAS gorgeous! the house without warning WAS delightful and tragic! the repeated theme of the precise nature of the story being uncertain, culminating in the marquess being able to escape by altering the tone of the story and then using genre conventions concerning the archetype she would fill within the type of story she presents WAS insane and you WERE real as fuck for feeling an uncomfortable sort of identification with her! THE ENDING OF THE LION THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE WAS REALLY SCARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#it speaks! #i never read the other books because my love for the first one was ferocious but im going to now. once i can get to a library theyre mine #i dont even know what i would tag this as. #the fairyland chronicles #? #the girl who circumnavigated fairyland in a ship of her own making #the barrens #<- childhood-based tag #kidlit #(not sure how i would describe age group for this book; based on its background i dont think kidlit is wholly accurate but its not wrong -> #<- + i do think a lot about children's literature as a way to communicate and therefore navigate the terrors of childhood; thats why -> #<- children's horror is of such interest to me.)

Even if you’ve taken off every stitch of clothing, you still have your secrets, your history, your true name. It’s hard to be really naked. You have to work hard at it. Just getting into a bath isn’t being naked, not really. It’s just showing skin.

“She liked anything orange: leaves; some moons; marigolds; chrysanthemums; cheese; pumpkin, both in pie and out; orange juice; marmalade. Orange is bright and demanding. You can't ignore orange things. She once saw an orange parrot in the pet store and had never wanted anything so much in her life. She would have named it Halloween and fed it butterscotch. Her mother said butterscotch would make a bird sick and, besides, the dog would certainly eat it up. September never spoke to the dog again — on principle.

...

“Such lonely, lost things you find on your way. It would be easier, if you were the only one lost. But lost children always find each other, in the dark, in the cold. It is as though they are magnetized and can only attract their like. How I would like to lead you to brave, stalwart friends who would protect you and play games with dice and teach you delightful songs that have no sad endings. If you would only leave cages locked and turn away from unloved Wyverns, you could stay Heartless.”

Some rare non-haikyuu content!! Nobody goes here, but this series is close to my heart and I’ve loved coming back to it as an adult ! I don’t think Catherynne M. Valente’s Fairyland residents would have much use for strict human gender binaries.
