1. Gardens of the Moon 🌕

Erikson writes some wild fucking fantasy, the magical elements alone are numerous and complex and requires a patient first-time reader 😅 also wtf happened to my boy toc the younger

Highs: Rake, Crone, Tattersail, my lil Kruppe, Dragnipur, the Moranth

overall: 3.8/5

cover art of Gardens of the Moon by Steven Eriskon, showing a large dark skinned warrior with flowing white hair looking over his shoulder. A massive sword in an intricate gold scabbard is positioned on his back with trails of smoke coming off it Silhouettes of crows are seen in the background.

after half-a-dozen false starts, i'm in it for the long haul this time....this is my malazan review thread 😌 and I REALLY need folks to talk to about it with 🥺

cover art for malazan book of the fallen, depicting a woman with flowing blond hair and wearing armor arm bracers looking at a city surrounded by flames and smoke. Two figures stand to her sides. Flying over the city is a large floating island with a city built on it. Crows wheal around it.

i still can't get over how perfectly @andyscrase.bsky.social and team captured the mechanics of balefire, i wonder if they had any other ideas that were rejected, also i cant wait to see what they do with balefire on a larger scale 👀

three panels of a scene from the wheel of time, showing Elayne using a rod to fire a purple beam of balefire at Jaine the darkfriend

@kangus.bsky.social made me giggle

A screenshot of a text message conversation, and a block of text reading "The owner of my Airbnb has a dog named Kevin. His human-sounding name terrified me at first"

The text message conversation reads "I apologize in advance, but Kevin may try to sleep with you. Just keep your door shut." "Excuse me what" "Kevin is my dog"

Book 5: Pride and Prejudice

Surprisingly hilariou with arguably one of the most toxic family's in fiction and one of the greatest characters ever written in romance, Mr Bennet

A cover of a book showing a simple drawing of three women and a man. The man is dressed in a suit and top hat, and has a lady in a red dress on his right arm and a lady in a blue dress on his left. The three of them are tall and hold themselves upright, and are well dressed, the women wearing elaborate dresses and shawls and bonnets. A third woman is walking away from them while waving her hand in apology. She is dressed in a more simple yellow dress with a straw bonnet.
Text on the cover reads "Pride and Prejudice, illustrated edition, Jane Austen"

Book 4: Jane Eyre

A literary masterpiece about one most otherworldly and irreverant woman in fiction. Jane is a wonder to me.

A book cover showing a painting of a woman braiding her brown hair and with a distant and faraway look in her eyes. She wears a blue and orange stripped dress with a lace collar and sleeves.

The bottom third of the cover reads "Penguin Classics Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre"

Book 2: The Dragonbone Chair by Tad Williams

I've loved the M/S/T series since I was a kid, its my fantasy comfort blanket

A book cover mainly in green and orange colors. The background is a painting of a boy with red hair in a brown cloak carrying a small man or child who has an arrow sticking out of his stomach. Another figure can be seen in the background. They are moving though a hallway with beautiful patterns on the walls but is clearly not in use as plants are growing along the floor and walls, and debris can be seen scattered around the floor.

White and orange text reads from top to bottom "The Acclaimed Fantasy Bestseller The Dragonbone Chair, Book One of Memory, Sorrow and Thorn, Tad Williams"
