Her writing Seasparrow: back to my roots

Kristin Cashore writing the graceling realms: I hate the cycle of abuse and the power that some people use to control others

Kristen Cashore writing Winterkeep: I also fucking hate capitalism

I love how the villian of every graceling book is leck (as a child, as a king, even when he's dead) except in winterkeep where the villian is the evil partisan government

24 page comic adaptation final: COMPLETE! Now I just have to print it tomorrow and everything will be peachyy

Edit: forgot to say this but this is an adaptation of a few chapters of the book Seasparrow by Kristin Cashore.

Second edit: I’m not actually going to continue drawing this… it’s a whole ass novel 😭

I’ve been rereading Fire by Kristin Cashore, and realized with a start that I’m ten years older now (27) than its protagonist. I first read this book when I was … 12? 13? And thought Fire was so mature and worldly, but now I realize just how much of a baby she actually was 🥹

This week I learned Kristin Cashore’s graceling realm series is religion-free and I love that for her. It makes it something I have to consciously watch out for when writing fic but what a cool and interesting detail. (More info can be found in a blog post from her about it, but I’m more impressed because it’s such a rare thing to find in fantasy imo)

hava from seasparrow: finally characters whose personalities are as unpalatable as their upbringing

[wasserschaden]

i love this series so dearly. it might seem to me like i have forgotten everything that has happened in the past books (except for fire because i live in that story) but now that i am reading Seasparrow i am reliving so many of their stories, and all through this new perspective of Hava who thinks she knows way too much, but i know she doesn't know tha half of it. especially the return to Bitterblue City is so special – here Goldie is mentioned, who Bitterblue had appointed to her place because her graced singing brings at least some joy to the prisoners. here Hava slinks across bridges that previously carried you over the narrative. here Linny admires the statue of the tower girl in the library that Bitterblue has so loved and that Hava doesn't even know carries so much strength for her sister. this series, and cashore herself, incorporates so many little hidden messages to the reader that all say, "look how much love. from them who live, from you who recognises, and from me who remembers it all." i love it so much. these books are as much family to me as Hava and Bitterblue are with Brigan as they plot the coat distribution in King's City, or as Katsa and Po laughing at Giddon's jokes, or as Lovisa is in Linta Massera's notes. i love this series.

Hey Designers,

This is my fanart collage from The Graceling series. Again, I did not make this art. Rather, I just collaged it.

@seasparrow HOW ARE YOU REACHING THE VERY DEPTHS OF MY UKITAKE POSTS (ALSO HELLO HAHAHA I hope you're enjoying your time 😂)

📚 August Reading Round-Up 📚

While I may not have read or finished that many books this August, I was able to read some very good ones. Books that genuinely touched and moved me, in a way that hasn't happened in a long while. A small but mighty reading month 😊

A special shout-out to Seasparrow (picture me at work, at my desk, holding back tears or almost laughing out loud, and then left to suffer for the rest of the day with the biggest book hangover)

- Seasparrow by Kristin Cashore (So good and emotional!!!! Teared up many times; I was right about LV!; liked that they were all in the survival story together; the healing and the ending!!!!)

- Running Close to the Wind by Alexandra Rowland (Very good, emotional but mostly profound, funny and irreverent and ends with such a bang, loved the characters and their growth and the plot)

- Fire by Kristin Cashore (Re-read, felt there was perhaps a bit more plot than I did my last read, cried a bit at the end, feel like the audiobook might’ve hit harder but still enjoyed it, definitely some slapping a table because it’s so good moments)

- The Suffragette Scandal by Courtney Milan (Brilliant, loved the MC, delightful (but not long enough) ending, loved the relationship and its progress and the plot)

- Secrets of Blackthorn Hall by Cassandra Clare (Re-read, fun, enjoyable, loved the illustrations and the Kickstarter physical edition overall, got really invested in the plot and didn't want to stop reading)
