Dragon!Roy/Princess!Riza

Riza is done being a proper princess. She's run away from home to avoid an arranged marriage to a prince whose only discernible interests are jousting and looking good in armor. Roy is a dragon determined to climb his way to the top of the social ladder. Having a princess around gives him a status boost, and this one seems unlkely to get turned into a toad by a stay spell. Living together will take some adjustment for both of them—and that's before they discover each other's secrets.

Winter came to the Mountains of Morning all at once that year, and early. One day the autumn leaves were rimmed with frost in the morning and the wind from the north was chilly, but Riza could still venture out to gather mushrooms near Sig and Izumi's cave as long as she wore a sturdy woolen cloak. The next, it was snowing, and the snow stuck. Three days later, a blizzard descended on the valley Roy's cave overlooked. And, finely appointed and spacious though it might be, it was a cave. If she hadn't already been convinced Roy had never had a princess before, his shock when she greeted him that morning would have been proof.

"It's too cold, isn't it?" he said, with a sounds she would have called sigh if it hadn't come from a forty-foot-long creature taller at the shoulder than she was on her toes... (continue on AO3)

Book Recommendations 2023!

Hello from someone who read 111 books this year! Time for favorites and recommendations!

Favorites:

Babel: Or the Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution by R. F. Kuang: I read this back in January 2023 and when I did I was like, “Did I read my favorite book of the year already in January?” Well, I did. In a world where the British Empire solidifies its power with silver infused with magic based on translation, a Chinese boy becomes an Oxford student and then has to decide what he’s going to do in the face of this system. Absolutely fantastic. (Also scratches that “school story + magic” itch that we’re all supposed to pretend we never liked.)

A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik: This one was pure fun, about students in a magical school with reasons for “no adults” and “high risk of death” that I was down with for the world. Main character has been foretold to be the most powerful evil wizard in the world. She doesn’t want this.

Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson: This is a nonfiction book by a lawyer who is working against the death penalty, and I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to know more about WTF is going on in the current US criminal justice system.

Creature: Paintings, Drawings, and Reflections by Shaun Tan: Art, highly charming art of creatures and monsters.

Dealing With Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede: This is the first book of the series The Enchanted Forest Chronicles, which I loved as a child and decided to reread this year. It’s about a princess who decides to go work for a dragon as the dragon’s princess, because it’s better than being wooed by a stupid prince. Fun, earnest fantasy. Also Kazul (King of the Dragons, she/her) please call me I love you.

Translation State by Ann Leckie: Things I really liked about this were that it included people in widely varying strange situations trying to figure out their futures. And one of the people doing this was a middle-aged adult. Also involved one of those Advanced Sci-fi Intimacy situations with two other people, which I always enjoy hollering about.

Revelations by Mary Sharratt: This is a novel about Margery Kempe, a medieval mystic, her life, and her travels, taking the work of Julian of Norwich to other communities in secret. This book really stood out to me because I found it really showed a deep understanding of the era it depicts, and the characters really feel like they have the framework of their time. I’m not a medievalist but I think I have read more than average about the European middle ages and that’s what I’m basing this opinion on. I thought it was very beautiful and very human.

The Wordhord by Hana Videen: This is a nonfiction book about Old English with chapters on topics like “health and the body” “travel” “occupations” etc. The idea is to examine what we can tell about the lives of Old English speakers based on the words they had. A significant amount of Old English vocabulary is included. Made me want to start putting Old English puns in the next thing I write but maybe I recovered from that.

Other recommendations:

Jesus and John Wayne by Kristin Kobes Du Mez: Do you want to know WTF is going on with the Christian Right in the United States? This will help.

Readme.txt by Chelsea Manning: Another book that I felt helped me understand a little more of WTF is going on re: the military/security culture

The Stones are Hatching by Geraldine McCaughrean: This is a book I read as a kid and missed a lot of because I didn’t know about a lot of traditional British faeries/creatures. I think anyone interested in folk horror as a genre would have fun reading this. It didn’t go on my favorites because the main character’s older sister is treated fatphobically to a degree that taints the overall book for me.

Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots: This is a fun book about a woman who makes a living as a henchperson for supervillains. After she gets injured by a superhero, she starts analyzing the actual cost of superheroes to the world, and this work leads her to working for one of the world’s top supervillains. I think this isn’t in my favorites because...IDK, it’s like...it felt vaguely like a reply to one of tumblr’s endless writing prompt posts? It’s good, and I know I have no room to talk about the tumblr style or whatever, but there’s a certain vibe...I don’t know how to describe it. I really do still recommend it.

NOTE: Reading is my main form of entertainment. I’m not keeping up with movies, videogames, TV shows, comics, etc. I have no qualifications with these recommendations except that I am a person who read 111 books this year.

Soooo....I don’t actually reread a lot of things, which is dumb, because I have literally hundreds of books that I won’t donate even though I’ll probably never read them again, so this was actually kinda challenging. 

a book you want to reread: Dealing with Dragons by Patricia C Wrede because we were just discussing it and I need to see if memory serves that it would be fine for an 8-9 year old to read. Or the Gypsy Crown by Kate Forsyth because I just bought the rest of the series off Ebay because either it’s going out of print or it’s being edited to be re-released with ‘more appropriate language’ and I am vehemently against editing things to appeal to our “modern sense of morality” which is a separate issue that I’ll not get into here 

any books you reread every two to five years: This sounds terrible, but probably picture books, especially one called Wild by Emily Hughes. 

any books you reread once a year: The Betrayal of Renegade X by Chelsea Campbell. This series is super simplistic, but it reminds me a little of the reviews people leave about the Foxhole Court - it’s not that great, but you also can’t help but love it. It’s in a world where superheroes and supervillians both live in the same city, the vibe very similar to Sky High. I love Damien, the narrator, who gets his Renegade X name from the fact that his mom is a super villian and his dad a superhero. It reads like fanfic, which is the best compliment I can think of. 

the book you reread within the shortest turnaround time: A Darker Shade of Magic by VE Schwab because the first time was on audio book and the second time was reading the physical copy. 

the book you’ve reread the most times: Samanta Saves the Day or Felicity Saves the Day from the American Girl original series, because I forced my parents to read those to me every night for like a solid four years. Dad had it memorized at one point. He didn’t have to read it at all. 

tagging...anyone who wants to play, because I don’t know that I’ve talked to anyone else about reading books versus fanfic. 

#games we play #book games #I realized I hardly reread shit #which to be fair I hardly rewatch things either especially new things #old series and old movies? hell yes #I own and love the Batman and I have not even taken the shrink wrap off the DVD case in a year and some change of owning it

[admirableadmiranda]

Hi.....just saw your random facts....can I ask your top 10 fav books (fiction) that you had? Sorry for asking another random ask.....Thanks....

No worries, anon! Love to talk about random things! It's a lot of fun!

Top ten books... it'll be top ten books at least of today. I could easily compile a top fifty.

Catwings series by Ursula K. Le Guin. Really simple children's stories that are some of the first books I can remember reading and are still some of my favorites.

The Hero and the Crown by Robin McKinley. A completely different heroine from so many I'd read as a young kid and she still stands out to me today. Just a beautiful comfort read.

Modaozushi by Mo Xiang Tong Xu. A much more recent entry into this list, but it has soared up to one of my favorite books of all time due to wonderful characters, beautiful complex plot and a something about it that continues to engage me after more than a year of focusing on it.

Ciara's Song by Andre Norton and Lyn McConchie. A Witch World book that is set mostly outside of the big plots, but is a story about an orphan who grows up to be happy even in the midsts of her world being at war and so much loss.

Dealing with Dragons/Calling on Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede. Two of the Enchanted Forest Chronicle books and I cannot pick one above the other. Dealing with Dragons is the funny and charming series of a princess who is utterly bored with her life and decides to go become the princess to a dragon instead. Calling on Dragons is the quest to recover a magical sword featuring a no-nonsense witch, the same princess who is now a queen, a clever magician, two cats and a rabbit who's manage to transform himself into a donkey. Makes me laugh and grin the whole time.

Corambis by Sara Monet (the last book in the Doctrine of Labyrinths series) Specifically just this one. After three books of the leads struggling to overcome the absolutely miserable upbringing they had combined with the miserable present day, they actually begin to make something of it and find some sort of peace and happiness all the while dealing with a mysterious clockwork engine that seems to be gearing up to try and kill everyone around them.

Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones. A lot of gently poking fun at typical fairy tale tropes combined with a very sassy narrator and a romance that leans into constant bickering that I actually enjoy.

The Forgotten Beasts of Eld by Patricia A. McKillip. This one I can't quite put my finger on why I love it so much other than that it is haunting. It is not the happiest of stories by any means, it is about a young woman who has lived alone with only many mystical animals called by her family who is in search of a mysterious bird called the Liralen, one of the last strange beasts not in her menagerie, while below the kingdoms seek to control her and her mysterious animals in their wars.

Deerskin by Robin McKinley. If the previous book is somewhat haunting, this one definitely is. It is a retelling of the fairytale of Deerskin/Donkeyskin/Catskin, where the fairest queen in the world dies and makes her husband promise to not marry anyone again unless they are as beautiful as her. He swears that he will not, but cannot find anyone until their daughter comes of age and resembles her mother exactly. Deerskin is a much darker take on a dark fairytale, yet there is some light and hope and it ends on a gentle note. Not a story for the faint of heart, but still one of my favorites all the same.

Sunshine by Robin McKinley. If at this point you haven't guessed that she's one of my favorite authors, then I don't know what to tell you. Sunshine is a bit of a departure from the others, it is a modern day story set in a world in which vampires and werewolves and such are real, and our protagonist is an ordinary baker who makes the mistake of traveling out on her own to a lake where she is shortly snatched away by vampires to torment an old enemy of theirs, where it turns out that Sunshine is a little more than they were prepared for. Full of lavish descriptions of food, a lot of sass and snark and a world that gives you just enough description to be starving for more.

Thank you so much anon! I hope you enjoyed my desperate attempt to wrangle all my faves into some sort of order.

1, 9, 19, 20

1. book you’ve reread the most times?

Probably The Enchanted Forest Chronicles (Dealing With Dragons, Searching for Dragons, Calling on Dragons, and Talking to Dragons) by Patricia C Wrede.

9. when do you tend to read most?

Hm, afternoon, I would say?

19. most disliked popular books?

I really hated Eragon. All the books I've read lately that I know are popular have been really good. The Midnight Girls is on the booktok table at Barnes & Noble and I thought that one was pretty bad, but I'm not sure if it's actually popular?

20. what are things you look for in a book?

Lately, mlm romance, haha. I've been on a sci-fi kick for many, many years now, and I'm getting back into fantasy again. I need to love the characters (sounds obvious, but my dad loves to read and couldn't care less about the characters). Usually I want romance. I love good worldbuilding, too.

Thank you so much!!

Comfort food: nostalgia foods primarily— lots with noodles of some variety, be it with a red sauce or just plain with pepper! A dish that used to just be nameless, and now gets called surprising rice. Watermelon!

Comfort drink(s): chai tea lattes, and hot chocolate with a bit of cinnamon.

Comfort movie(s): Inception probably. I can't say, I don't tend to rewatch movies in the same way.

Comfort show(s): Daria, Are You Being Served, Hogan’s Heroes, if you count audio dramas, then Cabin Pressure and Welcome to Night Vale.

Comfort clothing: it depends on why I am searching for comfort! If I want a boost in confidence, because I have a presentation of some sort, or an exam or anything in that vein, I resort to formal wear— waistcoats, ties, scarves, etc. if I just want something comfortable, then I have a pair of galaxy print pants, and my university sweater.

Comfort song(s): A split between Maintain the Madness and Under the Rainbow by the Jane Austen Argument. Other mentions are Over the Hills and Far Away by Nightwish, and really... most things by Fall Out Boy.

Comfort book(s): The Agony of Bun O'Keefe by Heather Smith, Crush by Richard Siken, Dealing with Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede.

Comfort game(s): When it comes to video games, Genshin Impact. When it comes to games more broadly, I enjoy a good card game!

2, 11, 20?

Hi!!

2. Did you reread anything? What?

I did, mostly the first books of series I meant to finish:

A Winter's Promise by Christelle Dabos

Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor

The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien

Dealing with Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede

Middlegame by Seanan McGuire

Gideon the Ninth and Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik

Witchmark by C. L. Polk

Pantomime by Laura Lam

Call Down the Hawk by Maggie Stiefvater

11. What was your favorite book that has been out for a while, but you just now read?

Hmm I'll answer with a different book this time: Briar Rose by Jane Yolen. A retelling of Sleeping Beauty set during the Holocaust, extremely sad and beautifully written. The kind of book they should teach in schools, except it would probably be banned by a crusade of Karens due to one of the MCs being a gay man.

20. What was your most anticipated release? Did it meet your expectations?

Nona the Ninth, and YES!! I had very few expectations except "weird shit, Ianthe being worse, and hopefully Gideon in her proper body" and well...technically we did get those! And so much more! I definitely wasn't expecting a John Gaius Origin Story in this book so that was extremely exciting.

#thanks for asking!!

[super-magical-wizard]

I just read an actual physical book and it's the one I got for my birthday and? Gosh?? It's so good?? It's just a nice chill time with a princess that gets fed up with all the manners and court and etiquette stuff and runs away to volunteer to be a dragon's princess and she just has such a nice time cooking and organizing and doing magic, all while fending off so many princes that keep trying to 'rescue' her and just like.. she's so happy to finally get to do interesting things and make this dragon's home organized and I just feel so much for that ^-^ gosh I'm really happy I read that right now, that was a real nice time

#it was just so chill and low stakes #like even with a bit of plot and scheming #it was just a nice time #and the ending made me smile really big #so yeah #it was a very good book ^-^ #oh and if you wanna read it! #it's called dealing with dragons by Patricia c wrede #I even got a library copy so like it has an old dust jacket and that added to the chill vibes even more #is so good #mhm ^-^

Personal Review (01/02/22)

The Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patricia C. Wrede

Why am I reviewing this series?

Another childhood favorite of mine, this four-book series has all the elements of a classic children's high fantasy. I was obsessed with this series in around fifth grade, and my local library had all four of them, so here we are. This will be another full series review (I also did this for The Sisters Grimm and The Chronicles of Chrestomanci).

The Enchanted Forest Chronicles

Told from various points of view, this series follows the events of Princess Cimorene and her friends and family, all centered in or around a place known as the Enchanted Forest. Everything starts when Cimorene runs away from an engagement...

Dealing with Dragons 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Princess Cimorene is decidedly not a proper princess, so when her family tries to marry her off to the most boring prince in existence, she runs away and ends up in the care of Kazul, a dragon, as her princess, Unfortunately, princes and knights will not stop trying to rescue her, and a few unscrupulous wizards are up to no good.

Cimorene is absolutely the best part of this book. Her no-nonsense attitude is such a delight to read about, and it's very funny to read about her questioning all sorts of fairy tale conventions. Her relationship with Kazul is adorable, and I appreciate that she makes friends with other princesses and it doesn't fall into the trap of the main character being the only worthwhile female in the book. The plot is a bit on the simpler side, being a children's book and all, but it's super cute and funny, and it will definitely scratch a dragon-loving itch.

Searching for Dragons 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Mendenbar is King of the Enchanted Forest, and when he finds dragon scales where part of his forest has been destroyed, he goes to see Kazul, King of the Dragons. Unfortunately, once he arrives, he only finds Kazul's princess, Cimorene, who reveals that Kazul has gone missing, not to mention the wizards are poking around again.

While I miss Cimorene's point of view, I still very much enjoyed the second in the series. Mendenbar is also very sensible, if in need of a little organization, and Cimorene still played a large role. Watching Mendenbar fall in love with Cimorene was lovely, if completely inevitable. I do wish Kazul had been there more and that they'd actually addressed what was going on with Mendenbar's sword. This book takes on a much more quest-like style than the first although half of it is just Cimorene & Mendenbar, Job Recruiters, which was rather funny.

Calling on Dragons 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

When wizards start poking around the Enchanted Forest again, the talented witch Morwen and her nine cats go to inform her friends, Mendenbar and Cimorene. It is then that they discover that the wizards have stolen Mendenbar's magical sword, rendering the forest's defenses useless.

Morwen's point of view was amazing because we also got to hear and interact with her cats. It's truly impressive that they all had distinct personalities established in a 250-page book. Unfortunately, the other animal sidekick, a rabbit named Killer with a propensity for magical mishaps, was getting on my last nerve. Patricia C. Wrede must have a grudge against rabbits because I just kept wishing he'd stop eating dubious things and complaining all the time. There was a lot of talking over each other in this book, which made it a bit confusing, so, despite my ardent love for Morwen, this one is my least favorite.

Talking to Dragons 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Technically published as a standalone before all the others and set sixteen years after the events of Calling on Dragons, the final book in the series follows the adventures of Cimorene's son, Daystar, as he inherits a mysterious sword and ventures into the Enchanted Forest.

Daystar was so nice and polite, to the point of hilarity, and they ended up wasting so much time trying to appease everybody, though it never made it slow. Shiara was a good counter to Daystar, with her ostensible rudeness. As for the third member of their party, the dragon, I loved that it hadn't chosen a name or gender yet. There were all sorts of references back to the previous books, and I almost cried when Cimorene and Mendenbar were reunited. I just wish they'd dealt with the wizards (especially Antorell) more seriously.

Overall 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

I read this series for the first time in around fifth grade. I loved it then, and I love it now. The satire on fairy tale tropes is so witty, and the characters are all wonderfully likable. It is a bit on the simpler side, being a children's series and all, but it still has the distinctive style of older high fantasy. One of my favorite things was how nonchalantly they talk about the dragons eating the wizards—no moral dilemmas in these books. The last book is a little open-ended, but I don't mind too much because Wrede has mentioned that she'd like to write more books for the series someday, which I will certainly not complain about. If you're a fan of dry, atypical, fairy tale-esque fantasies, try this series out!

Favorite Female Book Characters #90 Morwen

Book: The Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patricia C. Wrede

Role: Morwen is a witch living in the Enchanted Forest. She is first a guide and then becomes a POV character in later books. Like all other fairytale characters in these books, she subverts a lot of witch tropes in a fun way.

Best Qualities: Morwen insists on standing tall instead of stooping with a hunch, wears large glasses, and keeps her red hair up instead of flowing about. She sees no reason why she should have only one cat as a familiar, but instead has many. Her house is very tidy and she makes great cider. She hates nonsense and leads the group to many practical solutions to their problems.
