Listening to this (I read it when it came out) and it's just such a good translation, it does so much for this story. Can't imagine anyone complaining that it exists unless they really hate when women touch the classics

Kinda pissed off the whole city has been taken over by the cult of Brand0n Sanders0n; I love this SFF festival but this year I'm struggling to enjoy it because of this and how crowded it is due to all his fans

Reading The Sunbearer Trials for my queer SFF book club. We always do one young adult book in summer and since we already read Aiden Thomas two summers ago, let's see how his writing has evolved...

I was curious but it turned out to be a crypto-fascist whining about how all the literary prizes go to women and how male characters are written so unsympathetically or something
