‘Of fun’, darling… You were supposed to say ‘of fun’…
Give Lirael a break, Astarion. The girl has a -1 modifier to her intelligence stat and a hole in her brain.

sorry but it's so insane to me that we get introduced to lirael, 14 year old lirael, on her birthday and she has decided the only thing for her to do is kill herself because she's othered and lonely and ashamed and different and this is not the first time she's considered her own death, nor will it be the last, but for every time she considers it she also makes the choice to live. she cannot let life go and she cannot help but think something might change if she stays alive and if she kills herself now she'll never know. And then she steps into Death for the first time at 19, with her panpipes and sword and mirror, and gets caught up with the river for a few steps before remembering herself and shouting no. there's just something about a girl who has spent her life choosing life over and over again against all odds, who now has to traverse Death, primed for it as someone familiar with the call of death but equally familiar with saying no when it seems tempting to give in

She whispered to the dog statuette. It was oddly comforting to speak to the dog and hold it in her hand. She looked down at the way it sat, with its tail curled around its back legs, head up and forelegs straight, as if waiting for its mistress.

If your central protagonists are an attractive girl & guy around the same age thrown together by circumstance you are now BANNED from having them fall in love... the ONLY acceptable endgame is for the girl to learn in a vision that she's his aunt and then steal his job, as outlined in Lirael (2001) by Garth Nix.

Nothing like finishing a (n audio)book and trilogy all at once that wrecks your soul when you’re meant to me sleeping because you have class in the morning
I finished Abhorsen finally. I started reading Sabriel when I was about 13 or 14? I never finished the trilogy due to many reason I wont dump about. But i felt compelled (with a subscription to an audiobook thing and finding out they were narrated by tim curry) to revist the trilogy and finish it.
It tore me to shreds.
Absolutely. If you’ve read the books, you know how it ends. I am a disaster now. Very snotty, puffy, and phlegmy.
Cant wait to experience the rest of the books i didnt know existed until a few years ago!
I should sleep now….

Omg Lirael what r u doing with that magic mirror haha. ur not gonna look into the past with it are you.... ? lol?
[I.D. a digital art piece rendered in the style of an oil painting depicting Lirael and the Disreputable Dog in the river of death. The Dog is turned looking at Lirael as Lirael holds the dark mirror in one hand and a bell in the other. Lirael wears the red surcoat with golden stars and silver keys cinched at the waist with a belt, a bandolier across her torso and a sword at her waist. Lirael faces away from us but part of her face is visible in the mirror. End I.D.]

NEED HELP FINDING ARTIST FOR UNCREDITED ART
If you follow this channel, you know I'm working on an audio book for Garth Nix's Sabriel (1995). I can't find the artist for this piece of artwork and I desperately want to credit them before using it in my upcoming video. If you know who it is, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know!

I ended up picking all book characters, so I'm including their names because they might not be universally recognizable. And I have no idea if anyone else has read all of these books, so this will be interesting! ^^'
Fanny Price from Mansfield Park by Jane Austen:
Lirael from the Old Kingdom series by Garth Nix:
Gavir from Powers by Ursula K. Le Guin:
Katharine from the Tales of Magic series by Edward Eager:
Tagging @sailforvalinor, @dairogo, @faeriefully, @freenarnian, @kraytwriter, and @bunnyscar if you want to do this!
