So I finished reading The Tarot Sequence including all the free stories on the author's website and I'm devastated because now I have to wait for book 4 and this is going to be a 9 book series...

AND THERE ARE ONLY 340 FICS ON AO3. WHY IS THERE NOT MORE??? THESE BOOKS ARE FUCKING GREAT. HOW WILL I BE SUSTAINED UNTIL BOOK 4????

*crying sobbing throwing up* 😭😭😭😭😭

The Tarot Sequence Reread

Nothing has given me brain rot in a long while like the Tarot Sequence by K D Edwards has. And since I just finished reading all the supplemental stuff right when my hold for The Last Sun came back up I thought I would do something I have only done once before-and in a much less flattering way for a book I hated-and live blog my reread.

There's just so much in this series I need to pay closer attention to. And usually I would go on here and read some metas, but there is literally nothing!! The only things in the tags for this series is people wishing there were more people reading it, a handful of very wonderful fanarts, and an account of the decline of a discord that evidently used to exist for it. So, maybe this will encourage some people to read the books too.

Because there are some heavy topics in this series anytime I talk about such topics I will tag for them, but if they don't come up in the chapters I'm reviewing, I won't. So if you have certain things back listed you might not see all my posts on it. Anyone who is reading along and is curious about it can DM me.

NOW! Predictions and things I want to pay attention to under the cut for spoiler reasons.

The Tower. At the end of the prologue of the first book my thoughts were, " So we trust NO ONE!!" Except Queenie, because why would Rune and Brand live with her if she was evil? Then the children showed up and I had to trust them, they were too young to be part of the, whole thing, plus they are so cute. You have to trust them. And then Addam came along, and of course we trust him, he's an Addam, he's a giant dancing teddy bear and I love him! So I read the whole series (that's out so far) expecting we would find out the Tower was an evil guy, that he had had something to do with the fall of the Sun Throne. Honestly by the end of the third book I didn't think that any longer, and I was starting to before that after finding out he was also Qunn's godfather because!!! There is no way Qunn wouldn't have seen if the Tower revealed he had been a part of all that. (I'm still asking myself HOW exactly he or Mayan wouldn't have noticed an astral projection listening device being installed in Rune's room at their freaking tower that is super locked down! But then it happened for two other locations that were supposed to be super warded and protected my other companions too. So maybe it isn't his fault. I do think he might blame himself, I do think that some of his stand-offishness might also be guilt for not being able to stop the attack on the Sun Throne to start with. We will see...) I'm going to go into this read through with the assumption he is just lonely and sad and not a bad guy.

QUEENIE!!!! Because, WHO THE FUCK IS QUEENIE!? I was already suspicious because every time someone asks Rune and Brand where she came from, or how long she's been with them, they say "She's been with us forever." Every time! It reeks of mind fuckery. Then Eidolon and the epilogue that wasn't came along. Current theory is that she is the Empress, and also that she's probably Rune's mother. I would be willing to bet she was the woman at the end of the third book who spoke up to the river after everyone else. Edwards did a good job of making her disappear in the background, but I'm gonna be hunting for every mention of her and how she acts around everyone.

Ciaran, just because I love him and at first also suspected him of evil deeds. But he's just your gay vodka uncle and he loves all his adopted family so much and I just want to keep a closer on him at the start of the series.

Kellum. We only see him once in the second book, but he's mentioned in Eidolon by the Fool (Or Queenie pretending to be the Fool, again I'm not sure, there's Queenie interference for sure) And he was in one of the supplemental novellas. I think he will be making a bigger appearance in the next book.

Quinn's prophecies. I'll probably make a list of those for a separate master post.

Tallas. The Atlantean soul mates. This is a MAJOR spoiler. Rune says that Brand and he formed a talla bond the night of the attack. That it was what brought Brand out of the geas and got them to safety. The bond was gone when he woke up in the hospital and he's spent this whole time thinking he's somehow broken their talla bond. Something definitely happened between him and Addam in the Westlands, and I don't think Addam was wrong in assuming it was the budding of a talla bond. Because something sort of bond-like is also there now after the Hourglass Throne, after he used his bond with Brand to get him and Addam back to their time. My theory here is that they might be each other tallas, all three of them. Together. We know that it doesn't have to be a sexual relationship, though I don't think Addam would mind that one bit. Everything is pointing to the three of them being tied together somehow, and my theory is mostly that, before they were together together, no one talla bond could form and take precedence over the other. Now that they are together all the time, going on missions, living together, they have more opportunities for a bond to fully form and take hold. Assuming it involves all three of them.

And with that, I'm going to go read!

Excuse me while I stare at the ceiling for hours because I've finished my reread of the series and my first read of this glorious installment.

Chances are if you're here, you like found family of misfits (queer af), angst, banter, and magic worlds. Yeah?

Ok. Don't walk. RUN to these books. If you're an audio person, highly highly recommend those. Check TW.

Spoilers for The Eidolon and The Tarot Sequence by K.D. Edwards below the cut

I am screaming!!! Having reread the whole tarot sequence just before (and for Hourglass Throne, concurrently with) the Eidolon, one of the things that was slowly grating at my mind was Queenie. I was uncomfortable in the first place with the idea of Rune and Brand having a live-in help that seemed to have no personality, but I kinda chalked it up to "men writing women" and "it's convenient to explain who takes care of the chores". I was not happy with that, but it seemed a minor frustration compared to how much I loved the other characters. On reread, I found most of the female characters pretty developed, and it made Queenie all the more grating. Which is literally what I was thinking when she was once more tasked to take care of Corbie in the Eidolon, barely a footnote... I had this exact thought in my mind when the reveal with Quinn happened. It blew my mind. K.D. Edwards - who I'm very sorry I ever dismissed as writing more for the characters than the plot and as not great with female characters to boot - just toyed with my expectations and played one of the most impressive trick I've ever fallen for in a book. Hats off, well done sir, I can only aspire to that level of diabolical genius

sleep deprivation has led me to conclude that Barb is the Eidolon and nobody's gonna convince me otherwise until their identity is actually revealed

have you ever seen barb and the eidolon in the same room at the same time? i thought not

Wow. Just finished the Eidolon and holy fuck. That was everything I thought was missing from the Hourglass Throne. (I guess literally lol. Really wish i could just tip the entirety of The Eidlon right back into the Hourglass Throne because that would have been a batshit crazy experience. Can you imagine all those bombs in one book? Now that's a damn finale.) And...now i have to reread the entire series.

#i found the hourglass throne slightly underwhelming #good but i didn't give me that holy shit feeling that the Eidolon did #maybe because i don't actually care about the Tower #the tarot sequence spoilers #the tarot sequence #the eidolon

[waytointothetarotsequence]

My theories:

Quinn will get his prophecy back, if not in book 4, then before book 9.

I think it might be a while before we get more information on WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK the scene between Quinn and Queenie means and who she actually is.

Quinn and Max might become tallas, in a best bros kind of way.

The Eidolon - K.D. Edwards

Ok, so I loved this book. Max and Quinn were my favourite characters in The Tarot Sequence, so I was really excited to read a book from their point of view.

I'm not super into Anna yet, but that's probably a combination of her being younger than the others, and having not been so fleshed out in TTS. She's an interesting character, so I'm sure I'll connect more to her as we learn more about her.

The beginning of the book was a little boring, because it was repeating things that had already happened, but once it got into new plot, it was so interesting. It's weird that re-reading a book isn't boring at all, but reading the same plot from a new point of view always is. I'm hoping that the rest of this series focuses on new storylines - and I can't wait to read them!

But my Max/Quinn prediction isn't panning out so well, since it looks like Quinn might be asexual! I should be absolutely thrilled with ace rep, since there's just nowhere near enough of it, but weirdly, I like to read about all those funky little allos going forth and doing all that stuff I don't! I'm still hoping for a romantic relationship between them, though, since no comments have been made on his romantic persuasion. They need some true love in their life. And I'm convinced they're Tallas.

I bought a special edition from Rainbow Crate. As far as I can tell, this is the only physical copy available of this book - I'm hoping the rest of the series is also going to be available in the same format.

The hardcover is really gorgeous - the dustjacket is the standard cover, that is also featured on the eBook. But it also has a reversible cover, which is equally nice! Personally, I like the original better, so that's the one I'll be displaying. There's also foiling on the hardcase, front and back, and there's stencilled edges as well.

The endpapers feature four different pieces of artwork, presumably by fans. And there's a page that looks like it been designed for a signature, although this isn't a signed copy. But maybe one day I'll meet the author and get it signed, you never know.
