Anyone want to talk about The Darkling? He is maybe the best antagonist I’ve read.
He starts out with a noble cause, but his views are warped by his addiction to his own power, and complicated by loneliness.
Simultaneously seductive, ruthless, desperate, and sweet.

The best part of reading completing series? Checking them ALL out at once. I ain’t scared of no cliffhangers!

Dog approved.

Education is how we have a society. 🧡

So, I normally hate Fated Mates in a #fantasyromance because it's icky to have the characters' agency taken away.
So why not play around with the trope? Call out how dumb the MMC acts? How will the MCs' choosing to accept what Fate has decided for them affect the fate of the whole world? 💬📚💙

Also: what happens when we automate and AI away all our jobs but we still believe people need to have a job in order to deserve healthcare, etc? We're thinking big, folks.

📚💙 I love a story with malicious, silly, tricky faeries and a hero who isn’t some Chosen One Destined By Fate, but just the girl with trauma who happened to find a cool sword and care enough to use it.

Somehow Awaken Realms knew my birthday is coming up bc this showed up today. ‘Scuse me while I channel my Inner Vasquez and geek the F out. 🤓🤤

Well that’s neat: science has been hamstrung by governments and corporations, so it ends up being crowdfunded in #ToBeTaughtIfFortunate by Becky Chambers.

Dog approved! 📚💙

Sometime while writing Queen of Shadows, Sarah J Maas learned the word “thrice”…and definitely went on to use it about thrice per chapter. 📚💙

So you’re saying billionaires are swimming in their own shit, I guess? 🤔

Feeling happy for myself that I have this behemoth to read. 💙📚

#ThroneOfGlass hit me with a thought:
These men who expand their power, but rule over a world they made shitty by focusing on expanding their power…
