#calling of light

[aroaessidhe]

deeply obsessed with the reviews and posts about Calling of Light where people are tripping over themselves to articulate their confusion over the concept of friendship.

the constant referrals to the 'love interests' (two boys similar age as the MC who are regularly referred to with the words friend and family?), the confusion over who she 'ends up with' (it's not even a question in the book! she doesn't romantically end up with anyone!), how there were "scenes" with all three other main characters where they stargaze and look at each other yet it doesn't "go anywhere" which is confusing (friends hang out with each other! shocking!)

#forest of souls #calling of light #I'm not even against the concept of a romantic relationship between any of them in the theoretical future for the characters #it's just so deeply irrelevant to the actual story being told - why are you getting confused over nothing! #like I'm genuinely not even annoyed at this point it's just hilarious

“Could L have stopped Walter White”

“Could Benoit Blanc have stopped Kira”

Blah blah blah ENOUGH. We have to ask the real questions—

Could Saul Goodman get Light off? And barring that how much would Light’s sentence be reduced?

#death note #better call saul #saul goodman #light yagami #this started a war in my friend circle so we need answers here #i think saul could do it ngl

parce qu'on s'est crié des mots qui ont sali tous nos plus beaux dessins, on a hurlé des chaudières d'encre noire sur le bonheur

j'expose ma tête, mes yeux, mon cœur et mes mains

si tu reviens

something quiet, gentle, and romantic for today. I’ve been assured it’s suggestive enough for @goodomensafterdark ‘s smut war, so enjoy this soft interlude with suggestive tummy ❤️

I guess DARE wasn’t a thing in Goron City

#saw someone call zelda the gorons drug dealer and I couldnt get the image of her in a trenchcoat peddling marbled rock roast to children #like one of those shady guys selling wristwatches in cartoons out of my head #anyway that’s where this came from #trying to figure out comics and shit. not my strong suit so sorry if its rough. #figuring out an optimal level of detail is hard :( first I’m like oh i’ll just leave it black and white and then i’m like maybe ill add #color and then i’m like well now it needs shading and THEN it needs lighting and THEN IT NEEDS A BACKGROUND AND THEN IT NEE #anyway i should. probably stop rambling bye #loz #tears of the kingdom #totk #totk spoilers #i mean sorta. not huge spoilers. slight spoilers for goron arc I guess #zelda #myart

Calling of Light

final book in the Shamanborn trilogy

about a young woman training to be a royal spy who discovered she had powers after bringing her best friend back to life

now, as the new king’s new shadow, must finally find a way to stop the Soulless, save her best friend from a magical rot, and stop the ever-encroaching dead forest

elemental & spirit magic

bi MC, no romance

read an arc from netgalley (but it’s since released)

#calling of light #forest of souls #lori m. lee #aroaessidhe 2024 reads #no romance #A solid end to the trilogy! I did find that it solved everything quite quickly #. - i thought i was maybe approaching half way then checked and it was 80% lol... I think that’s just it being YA #It’s more wrapping up the plot from the previous two books than anything else. I definitely had forgotten the intricacies of the politics a #- but the focus of this series is definitely on the MC’s journey and her relationships with others anyway. #Really all I wanted for this book was for it to continue to have no romance! So I am satisfied in that regard! #endlessly amused over reviews (for all the books) referring to the two dudes as the love interests. for who? #just bc they’re men of a similar age to the MC???? #I thought the amount of times they were referred to pointedly as Friend and Family was overdone but apparently not djfghfd #also - there's a light implication that the two dudes would marry each OTHER for political reasons. #(though probably not actually bc heirs etc dfghkjfdgh) (I'm very amused about it all anyway.) #I did switch from the arc to the finished copy when it showed up available on libby
