I have been re-reading Martha Wells' Books of the Raksura for comfort reasons and with the perspective of another half-decade since I first read them, may I present a proposition: these books are to Stargate Atlantis as Shards of Honor in the Vorkosigan series is to Star Trek, to wit, it's nothing like as simple or boring as "filed off serial number fanfic" but the underlying vibes are very, very real

#the fell are the wraith #all the organitech and lost city vibes #I'm right! I feel it!#books of the raksura #coincidentally I also just re-read three parts dead #and I'm now sure that the Guardians of Seril have MORE than a bit of Raksura in them #given the publication timing #that or Wells and Gladstone were drawing from the same source but if so I'm not sure what that source was #(was it probably partially the 1990s Gargoyles series? I think it must have been)#anyway all of this is highly complimentary to everybody involved #I love seeing inspiration spiral across fiction from similar time periods
