[library-of-the-starless-sea]

ngl most of my critique boils down to 'has lots of window dressing in the form of marketing, commits to absolutely none of it' lmao

claws my way out of my hole to debate actually writing a review/critique of a popular booktok book. do i do it. do i potentially kick that nest

75 years ago, 4th May 1948 Jan Kantůrek, the absolutely brilliant translator into czech of Terry Pratchett's books or Neil's Coraline, and of course, Good Omens, was born ❤. His wish was to translate all of Terry's work before dying which he unfortunately didn't manage to (though he did manage Discworld) dying 22 March 2018. Happy Birthday Jan Kantůrek, thank you for introducing me to Terry's books ❤.

the thing about judith is that fundamentally she is the most reasonable and level-headed person at canaan house. when you're stuck in a locked room serial murder mystery you really ought to, like, get help. at the very least let someone know that there is some serious murder-type shenanigans going on. not, you know, desperately try to achieve immortality before you can be murdered. like say what you will about her approach! but everyone else's approach was, crucially, also really bad.

john gaius is the funniest character in the locked tomb tbh. he's such a fuckin clown. he's literally just some dude. he got magic death powers one day and proceeded to astronomically fuck everything else up from there. he was a twitch streamer. he projects his ennui onto cows. his goal was to stop the trillionaires from fucking off and leaving everyone else on earth to die, but somehow managed to literally kill every human being on the planet and STILL let the trillionaires escape. he gave the earth form from his own flesh and panicked and made her look like barbie. he then locked barbie in a top secret underground tomb and told everyone else he killed her (he didn't). he was very confident that this plan was eternally foolproof until he was bested by a 10 year old lesbian nun. he resurrected all of his dead besties and made them think that he was their god, mostly just for fun. he's so goddamn horny that he was tricked into TWO SEPARATE EVIL THREESOMES. he named himself John Earth. he's my worstie and my silly rabbit and i'm obsessed with him

When your best friend whom you love insanely and who has died but now lives behind your eyes manages to send you a knuckle kiss through the body of another possibly dead friend and the demigod who used to live sort of like that keeps giving you knowing looks so you have to hide in the bathroom

she's the saddest boydyke in the world. she died so her lover could eat her but she in turn refused to. she had a tense confrontation with her dead mother who wanted to slaughter her on an altar to the antichrist and who was haunting the corpse of a woman she'd fucked. she was resurrected by her deadbeat father god. she used to daydream and pray for glory and a family and now that she's got it she hates it. her only friend is the pathetic codependent washed out sister of a girl she'd wanted to fuck. i didn't say her name but she popped right into your head didn't she

My postmodern child is scaring all the other children at school with nonlinear narrative and rejection of conventional notions of epistemology
