Hey, friends! I have a the newest installment of my Realm of the Elderlings reread up on Nerds of a Feather today. We've gotten to Book 1 of The Tawny Man trilogy, Fool's Errand. It hasn't got much plot, so instead I discuss why Fitz can never enjoy uncomplicated love of any kind from anyone.

Hallo, friends! Today I expound at great length about the third book in Robin Hobb's Liveship Traders trilogy. And yes, I do get into That Thing that, if you're like me, left you scratching your head and blinking in bafflement and outrage at how such a magnificent book could contain such a clunker of a plot point.

Dang, Siren Queen by Nghi Vo is an absolutely fantastic, moody, magical, atmospheric piece about the glamour of golden age Hollywood, where power and contracts govern your life and identity in ways that are much more literal than simple business deals. #amReading @bookstodon #fantasy #sff

Hey, friends! I've got a longish discussion of Alex Bledsoe's Tufa novels up on Nerds of a Feather today. In short, it's a really imaginative fantasy series, which does a very distinct thing very well
