The Mask of Mirrors, The Liar’s Knot (by M. A. Carrick)

A friend bought me the book The Mask of Mirrors for Christmas and I swear I didn’t emerge from it for three days straight. This is a SUMPTUOUS non-traditional European fantasy with some of the richest world building I’ve read in a while. The magic, the cultures, the history, the fashion, it all felt so tangible that I could mentally pop myself into Nadezhra pretty much from page one. It had the twisty-turny, political intrigue-y plot that really appeals to me - without the intense violence you might find in other series that often get recommended for their politically-driven plots. Secret identities, characters that make you feel things, a queer-norm society, truly detestable villains… I loved this book. So I had to draw the three main characters obv.

I was so shocked that I couldn’t find the sequel in stores anywhere! Had to order online, and gotta say, it was equally good or better than the first… The character moments in The Liar’s Knot felt like releasing a breath you’ve been holding for hours. You’ll know what I mean if you read it ☺️

Anyway, this series deserves way more hype than it has. I read a LOT of SFF and this one stood out to me as truly fantastic. If you love secret identities, slow (SLOW) burn romance, a puzzle-like plot, tarot, and general luxuriousness for your brain…. I beg you to pick up The Mask of Mirrors.

Chapters: 1/? Fandom: Rook & Rose - M. A. Carrick Rating: Not Rated Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Ren/Grey Serrado (Rook & Rose), Ren/Grey Serrado/Derossi Vargo (Rook & Rose) Characters: Ren (Rook & Rose), Grey Serrado (Rook & Rose), Derossi Vargo Summary:

The primordials are gone from the world, and they are rebuilding a Nadežra that reflects all the people who live there. Vargo's no longer a nobleman, but he has a seat on the Setterat, and he can help change the city from more than the bottom up. He should be happy. But mostly, he's lonelier than he's been in more than a decade. Luckily, those closest to him have noticed, and Ren and Grey have some ideas about how to reconnect with him.

The Grad Life - day 45/50 (08/12/23)

Today really summed up “you win some, you loose some”. Waited ages for the bus, had a lovely breakfast at work, lots of nice chats, my laptop had issues and spent all morning calling IT, finished a good slide deck, had samosas for lunch, had to go to another office to get my IT fixed, caught some friendly faces there. Plus got a cupcake discounted to 79p (was delicious).

Iascat: You have to apologize to them, Vargo.

Vargo: Fine! But I must warn you that this might make me a better, nicer person and that is NOT the man you fell in love with!

i found the notebook where i physically wrote reivews that have never seen the light of the internet

my review of The Thief just says "I love Gen."

the good parts of Furyborn take up four lines. The bad parts take up four pages.

under The Good for Girls of Paper and Fire I wrote "the writing, I guess"

found the review I was looking for, and the first thing I wrote was UGH so ":|" wasnt far off!

this was fun
