You're Not Allowed To Disown Your Family In The Way You Should Be Able To

Thursday, January 30th, 2014 09:16 am

I reread Graceling and Fire. I loved Graceling so much on reread and Fire is, as always, kind of heartbreaking.

BUT I was thinking about Lienid rings, and thinking about choosing to remove a family ring if that person was, basically, a total dick.

ALSO, I just want to shout-out to the author for what a great job she did with her heroines, and how they're so different and all skilled in different areas and all have different weaknesses and flaws. Seriously, the heroines go warrior, healer, queen.

None Of It Would Ever End If She Was Too Afraid For It To Begin.

I real Bitterblue in, basically two days. Basically from

Theil's suicide

on I was weeping, and I cannot stress how rarely I cry over books or movies. This was definitely my favorite of the series (which I need to do an entire reread of, now).

Oh, Bitterblue.

(Also, this made me retroactively like Graceling a lot more, which I think I ended up judging very harshly for one narrative mis-step.)

(BTW, there are several queer couples in this book, all of whom have happy endings.)

(On the subject of romantic happy endings, I just cannot bear

another bittersweet romantic ending.

I just cannot. Don't say anything, but I am debating not reading Goliath until I'm in a better place with that, because I just cannot.)
