[i-is-for-inspiring]

I'm here to complain about the fact that NO ONE TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO READ THE REMNANT CHRONICLES BEFORE READING DANCE OF THIEVES BECAUSE AAGH LITERALLY TWO PAGES INTO THE BOOK I ALREADY FEEL LIKE I KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS WORLD, BECAUSE I FUCKING DO. BECAUSE I JUST FUCKING FINISHED THE REMNANT CHRONICLES AND NOW EVERYTHING MAKES FUCKING SENSE.

WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME, YOU WOULD'VE SAVED ME THE CONFUSION AT THE BEGINNING OF DANCE OF THIEVES

So here is my official warning to anyone planning to read Dance of Thieves. READ THE REMNANT CHRONICLES FIRST, YOU WILL THANK ME LATER

Thanks for coming to my ted talk

[hotchocolaterainydays]

just finished vow of thieves after not reading fantasy for months and I can safely say I’m back in. I love it I need it I breathe it and I want more and I can’t get over the fact that it’s over.

Highly recommend the remnant chronicles and the additional books: dance of thieves and vow of thieves because they are just ✨magic✨

Halfway through kiss of the deception and I still don't like Lia.

Is it weird that I’m annoyed that a book that I really disliked for 75% of the first book got good in the last 25% and stayed good for the rest of the series? I just blazed through the last book and I’m like... grumbling about how much I ended  up enjoying it after disliking most of the first one

#even I know it's nonsensical to be annoyed about a book series turning into something you enjoy #remnant chronicles #is the series just in case anyone was wondering #in fairness to the first book I started skimming it when I started getting annoyed with it and as a result wasn't particularly invested #in anyone until that plot shift in the third act #and then got invested in everyone real quick #q

I still can’t get over how it was Logos, Pneuma, and Ontos combining their power, however indirectly, that led to the formation of the first full Interlink and the defeat of one of the last vestiges of Klaus’s original philosophy

#if their physical forms interacted I would have died #but the fact that they destroyed the last remnants of their ‘father’ was so peak #Future Redeemed #Future Redeemed spoilers #XC3 #Alvis #Pneuma #Malos #Xenoblade #Xeno tag #Xenoblade chronicles my beloved

Hello, I came across your Kencyrath rec post and I am tentatively intruiged. That said I wanted to ask about a trigger before I dive in. Suicide is pretty strong trigger for me. I can handle it if it's mentioned, but detailed descriptions of the act or a lot of time spent in a suicidal character's head/thoughts dealing with suicidal ideation would not be. Is this an issue in the Chronicles of Kencyrath, and if it is, do you have a different recommendation?

Okay SO.

The Kencyrath exist in a honor/shame society, in which going against the code of honor (lying, breaking your word, etc) is considered a sin that can only be forgiven through an honorable death. Sometimes this takes the form of going into battle without the intention to come back, generally without armor, but it also takes the form of ritualized suicide with a specific kind of knife. I would call it a very specific kind of suicidal ideation, in which it doesn’t come so much from a depressive headspace as it does from a kind of rigidly religious one. There isn’t a ton of time spent in the heads of characters actively pursuing ritual suicide, nor what I would call traditional depressive suicidality, but it IS a very present element of the society, including people freely making choices with the understanding that they will be expected to take their own life afterward, or people being forced to take their own life as an alternative to being dishonored. Think samurai rules or Imperial Chinese rules and you’ll be in the right ballpark. Ultimately I can’t know the inside of your brain, but if onscreen suicide discussion or aftermath is a concern, I might table this series until you feel more ready for it.

In terms of alternative recommendations, buckle up, I have a list based on what part of the Kencyrath pitch you were into. These recommendations are made with the assumption that all the OTHER content warnings for the Kencyrath are not a problem, but I’ll note any really major ones and include a broad rating according to AO3 rules. Anything with an asterisk by it heavily features the big Chivalric Devotion vibes of the main Kencyrath dynamics. I read a lot of that.

Sprawling politics:

The Unbroken* (drafted soldier impresses daughter of the empress, they try to stop a war, full of double-crossing schemes and gallant ladies, cw colonialism, M for violence, sex, and extremely real colonialism)

The Captive Prince* (dethroned prince is sold into slavery under his mortal enemy, definitional enemies-to-lovers content, cw sexual assault, E for a very sexually relaxed culture in a bad way)

A Taste of Gold and Iron* (unambitious prince gets tangled up in a currency fraud scheme and gets a shiny new bodyguard, E for a very sexually relaxed culture in a good way)

October Daye series (starts out classic urban fantasy, rapidly becomes Blood Magic and Politics The Series, for those committed to a long series, T for violence)

Pulp fantasy adventure vibes:

Hero and the Crown/The Blue Sword* (classic sword and sorcery fantasy, for DnD lovers and people who read Horse Girl Books as kids, General Audiences)

Silver Under Nightfall* (vampire couple teams up with vampire hunter to cure a magical plague, the polyamorous murder romance you need in your life, cw coercive assault and body horror, E for gore and numerous threesomes)

Heaven Official’s Blessing***** (translated Chinese novel, very old fallen god returns to Heaven and Does His Best, for those committed to a LONG book, currently on volume 8, T for violence)

Witch King (body hopping demon tries to solve his own murder with his found family in tow, perfect standalone book, T for violence)

Spicy magic systems:

The City We Became/The World We Made (sentient cities and extra dimensional invaders, for everyone who read a lot of Avengers In NYC fic back in 2012, cw racism and survival sex work, M for sex)

Gideon the Ninth/The Locked Tomb series***** (everyone knows about this series, it’s the one with the lesbian space necromancers, cw for just the craziest flavors of abuse, M for violence and cannibalism I guess, also fits the below category)

The Gilded Ones* (what if all the misogynists who said women were demons were absolutely correct, and it was fucking rad, cw for SO much sexism and also religious indoctrination, T for violence)

A Soul to Keep* et al (okay oKAY LOOK THIS IS MONSTERFUCKER CONTENT BUT I RECOMMEND IT, local cursed woman gets forced to marry a demon, they argue a lot and the sex scenes are REAL bizarre, cw kidnapping and the second book deals with a character coming out of a severe depression, HARD E for monsterfucking, obviously)

Interpersonal relationships that are just SO fucked up:

A Dowry of Blood (a letter from Dracula’s first wife to the man himself, cw domestic abuse, M for adult themes and sex)

Remnants of Filth/Yuwu* (translated Chinese novel, loyal general becomes the jailer for his traitorous ex-lover, cw slavery and discussion of sexual assault, E for sex)

The Salt Grows Heavy (homicidal Little Mermaid and plague doctor wander through an apocalypse together, actually read everything Cassandra Khaw has ever touched, the absolute pinnacle of horror, cw all her stuff for really creative violence and body horror, M for violence and gore)

Anyway if you have any other book recommendation questions and/or you read any of these and enjoy them, hit me up, recommending books to people is genuinely one of my great joys in life.

One of these days I'm gonna list ALL the references to actual Yagyu Clan facts that's sprinkled all around the DLC's story because GOD ALMIGHTY there were a lot! I've been a huge Yagyu Clan nerd and I genuinely love how they touch upon more less widely-known stuff about the clan!
