Inspired by trying to get most people to read Mariana Enriquez' Dangers of Smoking In Bed (and A Sunny Place for Shady People, which I'm halfway through)

I think it really gives a sense of expansiveness and wonder. I also think I’ve read a lot of fantasy recently where the whole world is Worked Out In Great Detail and it was fun to read something where it feels the characters are exploring alongside you! (And the characters are great)

The books aptly get a lot of praise for the world building, but I don't think that quite captures it. The world is HUGE and extremely full, so it truly feels the characters also don't know what's around the next corner

Friends, please allow me to be the person who bullies you into reading Hild so I have more people to TALK TO ABOUT IT

Big thanks to everyone from @spectrumwriters.com that helped me improve this earlier this year ⚔️⚔️

"Shield of the Glasslaw" by Isobel Mackenzie

We simply do not make fantasy covers like this anymore and we need to.

Editing marathon FINISHED I am FREE (until the next piece...)

Anyone really keen for
- sword and sorcery but mostly swords "single person of honour in the halls of power" vibe, lots of action scenes and oaths! Honour! Personal quests!
- lesbian edwardian ghost hunting?

Second favourite part is when they go to investigate a normal crime and Scully is doing like, real police work, and Mulder is interviewing sasquatch or something. Perfect every time.
