i relate to Arista because I to would marry Hadrian Blackwater in an instant and don’t consider being wanted by the crown a red flag

When we get to That scene in Theft of Swords,

My sister: no! Not the monk! Did he just die?

Me: looking away because I can't keep a straight face.

She was so worried about Myron it was adorable. She figured it out pretty quick, but I was still teasing her so I said, "he's one of those characters an author might kill off for drama" and she agreed, then said that Royce was also one of those characters. She thinks he's going to die doing something good of his own volition rather than at Hadrian's urging and that Hadrian is going to get all sad and angsty and guilty about it.

Theft of Swords - Michael J. Sullivan 3,5/5 swords

A casual jot-it-down-as-it-happens commentary

-Did the uncle done it?

-Hrmmm, I don’t know that I trust Arista.

-Hrrrmmm, now that Alric has also blamed Arista, I suddenly trust Arista.

-I mentally pronounce half the names differently each time I read them.

-You know how in stories you tend to have a general idea of where you’re heading, even if you’re wrong in the end? Here I have absolutely no idea where we’re going, I see the next step only as we take it.

-Protecc the Pickering boys at all costs.

-Do we have to see the whole trial…?

-I must say, it’s very easy to read. It’s not overloaded with information but doesn’t lack it, it doesn’t go too deep into people’s psyches but you still get a solid sense of who they are, and it keeps you turning the page.

-Riiight, I forgot it was originally two books and I was like, we storming the castle this early?!

-We’re now two years later. Got it.

-Haha, Mr Haddon.

-Holy exposition though.

-Am I correct in predicting that Bernice won’t know which dress belonged to Arista’s mother and that will get Arista suspicious? (hindsight me: no, I was not, but I still think this should have happened.)

-Eyy, I too wondered, wet steps from what?

-What startles me is, I haven’t heard a single reviewer not calling this book funny, but I ain’t seeing it. I ain’t seeing the funny. Idk, it’s just a good book to chill.

-Ey! Ey!! Screw you, not Mauvin and Fanen!!

-I assume Hadrian is the bodyguard, since he wears the thingy all the time? Maybe the heir, I guess, but wouldn’t that be too soon?

-Ooh, it’s not Hadrian then. Cool.

-So the medallion does matter…? But Ezra is off to find the heir and the guardian, so…? Is it a red herring? I’m lost again, and it’s fine.

Review: Theft of Swords by Michael J. Sullivan

Review: Theft of Swords by Michael J. Sullivan

Royce the thief and Hadrian the swordsman are known as Ririya — for the right price, and given enough time, they can steal pretty much anything. They are also the last people you would expect to be suddenly in the middle of a massive political and religious war, but that is what happens in “Theft of Swords,” the first of Michael J. Sullivan’s Riyria Revelations omnibi, which compiles the first…

do you guys think aziraphale heard the myth of prometheus for the first time and lost his mind a little

#marzi speaks #good omens #aziraphale #this is lighthearted but also not at all. i just don’t have big words rn #can you imagine though. aziraphale is gomensverse’s prometheus #he brought humans fire. #do you think he heard of prometheus and suddenly his fear of disobeying god reared its ugly head with a vengeance #do you think he remembered lying to god about it. wondered if it was that that would do him in instead of the original theft #do you think he spent nights upon nights wondering when he would be chained to his rock #wondering when his crow would come eat his liver for all of eternity #do you think he wondered if it already had? #not in the shape of a crow- but of a snake- a charming snake that slithered over and ate his heart again and again and again #he had appeared shortly after aziraphale gave up the sword; after all. aziraphale told him and everything #perhaps that was his punishment. perhaps She was playing a cruel little game by sending him someone he wanted so much but could never have #maybe that was the rock. the chain. the inability to move- to do anything more than sit there in anguish #the crow came in the form of that sharp mind and clever tongue. it dug straight to the core of his heart and tore it to shreds #picked it apart; observed; and ate #do you think he worried on and off about that for centuries. millenia #do you think he thought about it every time that demon of his did something so utterly charming #‘oh- there’s another piece of my heart- a morsel for him to savor again and again’ #do you think he thought about it when he kissed. felt those lips on his like a sharp beak straight through his body #do you think he minded. do you think he thought ‘i would lay in these chains forever if you would just do that again; right now.’ #do you think he broke those chains anyway. #I’M INSAAANE turns out i did have big words for it

The fun thing about Riyria is that you can look down any plot hole and you'll find Turin

#saw a review saying they dnfed theft of swords because there were too many convenient coincidences #which is fair like you do you #but also come on stick it out for fifteen more books and you'll find a sad lil god who is micromanaging fate #riyria #turin

So we're listening to Riyria on a road trip right now and my sister is having some hilarious reactions to it. I will be tagging the posts about these as 'riyria spoilers' for those who are concerned. The first, initial reaction is "the characters are actually really interesting" Surprisingly, she likes Royce, when normally she despises angsty characters. She told me that he's not whiny, and also not a bad guy using his rough childhood to do bad things. I admitted that without Hadrian and Gwen he probably would be a bad guy, which made her remember that she DID think the one scene from his perspective was sappy, but we shall see what conclusion she comes to in the end.
