I'm not immune to gay sexy swordfighting

In other news I finally picked up the Swordspoint audiobook and fell completely in love with the characters and setting. There's something quite beautiful about seeing a very unhealthy relationship where both characters suck a lot as people and make each other actively worse to the backdrop of convoluted political intrigue.

#swordspoint #richard st vier #my beloved #i have some Thoughts abt it bc its definitely not perfect #obsessed with the homophobia in it even tho its a fantasy world that doesnt really need it #even as i say fantasy there wasnt anything fantastical abt it no magic or anything #youd think reading it that whats Fucked Up abt Alec is some magical aura or we that has people straying from him #aside from his rat vibes #BUT NO! whats up with him is just that he grew up obscenely rich #and it still explains a lot #this book really did say the rich exploit the working class for their own ends and then face no repercussions for it #Knives out? More like Swords Out #also disappointed abt the lack of women with swords in this one #also the complete lack of woolowoo i know it was written in 2003 but if youre gonna give us homophobic microagressions at least give us #hot ladies with swords
