if anyone is interested, there was a Queer Fantasy author panel with Samantha Shannon, Tamsyn Muir, Tasha Suri and TJ Klune two days ago and you can watch it for free here!

Queer Fantasy panel with With TJ Klune, Tamsyn Muir, Samantha Shannon and Tasha Suri, in conversation with Mendez.

I figured a lot of TLT fandom would be interested in it, as well as general queer fantasy fans. I found it pretty interesting and fun. Particularly hearing them talk about chussy and chunt, but also in general. Worth a watch if you are a fan of any of their work.

Tamsyn is still working on Alecto and stressed about the ending (and hoping to end the series at AtN).

Edit: This recording is only available to watch till February 9th, so get on it before that if you want to watch.

Is anyone here aware of more captivating british fantasy authors who can't write cishet characters to save their life?

Gideon The Ninth by Tamsyn Muir-

The Ninth Necromancer needs a swordswoman.

Gideon has a sword, some dirty magazines, and no more time for undead bullshit.

Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse. She packs up her sword, her shoes, and her dirty magazines, and prepares to launch her daring escape. But her childhood nemesis won't set her free without a service.

Harrowhark Nonagesimus, Reverend Daughter of the Ninth House and bone witch extraordinaire, has been summoned into action. The Emperor has invited the heirs to each of his loyal Houses to a deadly trial of wits and skill. If Harrowhark succeeds she will become an immortal, all-powerful servant of the Resurrection, but no necromancer can ascend without their cavalier. Without Gideon's sword, Harrow will fail, and the Ninth House will die.

The Priory of The Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon

A world divided. A queendom without an heir. An ancient enemy awakens.

The House of Berethnet has ruled Inys for a thousand years. Still unwed, Queen Sabran the Ninth must conceive a daughter to protect her realm from destruction – but assassins are getting closer to her door.

Ead Duryan is an outsider at court. Though she has risen to the position of lady-in-waiting, she is loyal to a hidden society of mages. Ead keeps a watchful eye on Sabran, secretly protecting her with forbidden magic.

Across the dark sea, Tané has trained to be a dragonrider since she was a child, but is forced to make a choice that could see her life unravel.

Meanwhile, the divided East and West refuse to parley, and forces of chaos are rising from their sleep.

Between Gideon the ninth and Priory of the orange tree, it feels like extremely Queer sapphic love stories full of PoC are where high fantasy is at now. The Modern Aragorn is a gay black woman in obsessive love and I'm here for it

Now, i do wish that romances were a little less in focus in my fantasy plots, but honestly, at least this modern crop of fantasy has the romance matter. Better an obsessive character-defining love that shapes the world than a wet fart in the background. The declarations of unending passion and love might get a little much, but at least when Gideon or Ead says something like "i will give you my heart, if it kills me" I can expect that to be the seed of a great quest or a tragedy. Even Jay Kristoff gets this right, even if his books are otherwise, uh.... Not always the best or the best rep.

It's something I wish older fantasy did better. If you need romance, make the passion of your heroes reshape the world. Let your heroes cross the perilous wastes for love. Let them risk all they hold dear to touch their lover one more time. Too much fantasy has Aragorn pining for Arwen with no influence on the plot, or characters hastily getting together at the end. As i said, I'm no huge romance fan, but I infinitely prefer these gay women and their burning passion to that.

February & March Reading Wrap-Up

February and March may not have been “full” reading months for me, but I have enjoyed pretty much everything I did read! I FINALLY read the Locked Tomb series by Tamsyn Muir, and let’s just say… I Get It Now 🧍what else can I really say about these books??? If you’ve read them, you understand, and if you haven’t… well, just read them.

I’ve also started getting into nonfiction more lately! You can see that with Why We Read by Shannon Reed, a collection of short, interconnected memoirs about her love of reading and her observations about other people’s relationships with books, and The Timeline of the Bible by Matt Baker, which was a very interesting summary of the archaeological history of the Bible!

Work and recovering from work takes up a lot of my time these days, along with other hobbies and commitments of mine, so I do feel sad that I can’t read as much as I would like to, or as much as I’ve grown used to reading over the past couple of years 🥲 but I’ll keep doing as much as I can for now!

Under the cut: a collage of the 20 volumes of One Piece I was able to read over the past two months. I’m getting close to catching up with the story now!!

For my first post to my brand new booklr, I thought I would share the 12 books being released in 2023 that I'm most excited to read! I'm especially looking forward to getting my grubby little mitts upon Alecto the Ninth (whilst also simultaneously never wanting the locked tomb series to ever end), but I'm really hoping I'll still find some new favourite reads amongst the others on my list! There's also a good mix of authors I have only read one book or one series from (Seanan Mcguire, S.A. Chakraborty, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, T. Kingfisher) vs authors I haven't read from before (Cherie Dimaline, Roshani Chokshi, Dorothy Tse, Katherine May, Kate J Armstrong & Amy kKey), so I'll be so interested to see if I gain any new favourite authors to read some backlist books from too!

Here's to hoping for an excellent reading year for all of us in 2023!

#booklr #book blog #books #booknerd #bookworm #books and reading #as well as alecto the ninth i am also proper excited about continuing on in the wayward children's series #as well as hitting up a day of fallen night which i know is a prequel to priory but i'm still so excited to jump back into that world #seanan mcguire #cherie dimaline #roshani chokshi #dorothy tse #kate j armstrong #samantha shannon #s.a. chakraborty #kathering may #amy key #silvia moreno garcia #t kingfisher #tamsyn muir
