i feel like i need to spread my propaganda too. so. the southern reach trilogy by jeff vandermeer is so good ??? its got canon lgbt rep!!! really well executed eldritch horror!!! i know it really doesnt mean anything to say i dont get scared by books a lot because everyones tolerance is different, but these books had some incredibly tense moments. the protagonists switch up from book 1 and 2 but theyre both . such compelling characters. man the descriptions are so lurid.. the imagery.. etc. eternal brainrot

If I had a nickle for every time today I was recommended a dystopia sci-fi trilogy where each book title is just a foreboding word with a different distinct color cover for each that is dearly beloved by a mutual, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot but its odd it happened twice.

I haven't heard of those books before, and just like avery you have managed a lot of words without actually telling me anything of what the book is about! but that's okay I think it's funny. looks like its not long either, just 200 pages I could knock that out quick. I won't be doing so soon, because like I've said so many times y'all are probably sick of it, very long and chaotic tbr so I don't have a specific time frame, but it is now on my radar :)

thank you for the propaganda! I appreciate being exposed to media I wouldn't have found otherwise, and I'm curious to see what it is about these books you like!
