#tristan strong trilogy

[mermaidsirennikita]

Contemporaries where dirty talk is especially hot? Both during sex and maybe also over text? Thank you!!

Sierra Simone, Sierra Simone, Sierra Simone. Her books are often set in a contemporary world, but they're not, as a heads up, "light" contemporaries. Personally, I wouldn't really go as far as to call them dark romance (well. Thornchapel, I would, but I also wouldn't recommend it as a contemporary as it has such strong supernatural elements lol) but they do have some elements of (light) mysticism as some of them are retellings of old myth set in a modern setting. I'd check out:

Priest, Sinner, Saint/"The Bell Brothers": These are three standalones (M/F, M/F, and M/M) that always have a bit of a religion kink. And a by a bit, I mean a lot. Priest is the book where a Catholic priest (who is actually very naturally carnal and only became a priest because of some deep guilt issues and religiosity) meets a woman who tells him ALL the shit she's done in confession. It's naturally dirty, and he naturally falls head over heels into an affair. Sinner is about a business whose best friend's little sister is about to become a nun, and she (on the advice of her convent, naturally) asks him to teach her about sex so she can experience what she'll miss before she really commits. Saint is about a guy who became a monk in a period of deep emotional crisis, whose ex-boyfriend (he left with zero notice) ends up on a tour of monasteries with him for an article he's writing. Temptation ensues.

The dirty talk in these is naturally very tinged with priest/nun kink stuff, it's SUPER dirty, and I love it. They're also just really good.

Her Christmas Notch books she does with Julie Murphy are a little tamer, both focus on this Hallmark-esque company where the leads film these Christmas movies and, of course, fall in love. I really, really love A Holly Jolly Ever After, because the hero is a former boybander (with a dad bod!) who fucks like a demon and also owns a chain of pizza shops, and his sex tape leaks, during which he's pictured absolutely RAILING a woman from behind, slapping her ass, and saying "and THAT'S how you toss the dough" which I personally think is some of the greatest dirty talk I've ever read.

New Camelot: One of my favorite trilogies of all time, MMF, "what if King Arthur was President, Guinevere was First Lady, and Lancelot was VP, and what if they were all in love with each other and entangled in an intense affair and IT WAS AMAZING". I reread scenes regularly. I love it so much. The dirty talk is obscene. You get the very cool "sit, stay, bark" dom dirty talk from one hero and the deranged "I'm going through it and you're going to go through it with me" passionate dirty talk from the other. Our heroine ain't half bad at it either.

Lyonesse Trilogy: The prequel novella and the first book are out now; it's a Tristan/Isolde/Mark MMF retelling. Mark is perhaps like... the dirtiest dirty talker Sierra has written. He's soooooo much. Like, if you want the condescending dom dirty talking hero, he's The One. The alternating between the "look how good you take it" stuff and "you're so desperate it's pathetic" shit. Why not both???

Act Your Age by Eve Dangerfield has a TON of dirty talk, usually in the DD/lg vein. The hero and heroine roleplay dirty stepdad fantasies a lot, and the way they talk to each other is OBSCENE lol. And I love it.

Minx by Sophie Lark has some amazing dirty talk in the pet play realm. The heroine is an escort paid by the hero, and he has her dress up in a catsuit, wear a caller, drink milk out of a bowl while he calls her Minxie and a good girl and shit lol. I was into it. Idk if you'll be into it. Iiiii was into it.

Sara Cate's Salacious Player Club books have good dirty talk. They're sex club books that kind of deconstruct a different kink in each book (pleasure dom/sub in the first one, voyeurism in the second, MMF/bi awakening in the third, and femdom in the fourth... I'd stop after the fourth) and naturally are filled with dirty talk. Eyes On Me (the second book) may especially work for you because the heroine is a cam girl.

Possession by Adriana Anders has a heroine in a PR marriage with her famous husband end up in a kink camp with him after a scandal, and they... explore a lot. Including consensual kidnapping, an MFM threesome, lots of dirty talk... It's a lot.

Preferential Treatment by Heather Guerre has a heroine who becomes her billionaire boss's domme, so naturally there is a LOT of femdom dirty talk. We LOVE to see it.

Heated Rivalry & The Long Game by Rachel Reid make up a duology of hockey romances about the same couple (m/m). What I like about this is that you follow the same couple over like, a decade, starting when they're like 18/19, and they build up...? Their dirty talk? Like in the beginning, their encounters are more awkward, and then by the end they're using sex toys and like mild bondage and really KNOW each other and what turns each other on. Including the talk.

The Atlas Paradox Book Review

The Atlas Paradox by Olivie Blake Book Review

Second books in a trilogy are notoriously difficult. They often suffer from “second book” syndrome, a point of frustration for the readers who find the sequel installment pedantic, time consuming, and droll.

 Unfortunately, The Atlas Paradox does suffer from this condition, although it’s not as horrible as some other cases I’ve read. 

This book is the epitome of starting off strong, dwindling to almost nothing, and then ticking back up at the very last second. While the pacing is wild (not in a good way), I still read and finished the book for one reason: the characters. 

As a main storyline, The Atlas Paradox is hugely lacking. The first book, The Atlas Six, spends a great amount of time introducing the six main characters, side characters, the setting, building the world, and connecting all of these aspects together in interesting and complicated ways. 

As a very character driven reader, I loved it. I adored the focus on relationships, devoured every conversation and interaction, and found myself titillated when pieces of the universe came together beautifully. 

Which is why I was so excited for The Atlas Paradox. Surely, Olivie Blake would hit the ground running with book two seeing as she set up everything very painstakingly in book one and left the readers with a tantalizing cliffhanger. 

Wrong. 

Instead of beginning with a sprint, which I anticipated, Blake starts off at a slow place, more sedate than walking. This book is crawling, trudging the plot along at a speed that is beyond irksome as a reader. Nothing really happens in this book until the last thirty pages. 

Genuinely, nothing. 

The first 350 pages consist almost entirely of the characters having conversations with each other. The banter is witty, the dialogue is interesting, and the characters are intriguing, but none of these conversations move the plot along further than a few inches at a time.

 It is maddening that the entire book is just the characters talking without also progressing the actual story. 

Again, as a character driven reader I probably didn’t mind it as much as other people, but still found it vexing by the 400 page mark. Having engrossing interactions between characters is a fantastic thing, but not at the expense of your plot. They need to go hand-in-hand. 

Unfortunately, in this case, Blake focuses entirely too much on character interactions that the plot suffers as a result. 

The paltry remnants of a plot can be combined to say: the house is taking a toll on the five candidates remaining, including making Reina think she’s a god and turning Callum into an alcoholic. 

Nico and Tristan are still looking for Libby (who has been sent back into another time) but are largely unsuccessful until the last 30 pages. Libby befriends people in her new time period, but never forgets where she came from and is willing to do anything (including blowing things up) in order to return. Nico’s mysterious friend Gideon invades a lot of dreams. Atlas Blakely is plotting. 

That’s…pretty much it. 

Now, that might seem like a lot, but for a book that is over 400 pages and where most of the same plot points were already set up in book one, it truly isn’t. 

Elements are stretched out, conversations (while fun) go nowhere, and the characters, who at this point have known each other for two years, are still extremely combative and prickly towards one another. 

I’m a sucker for a slow burn romance or friendship as much as the next person, but even at this point I want to see the initiates get along and work together instead of avoiding and antagonizing one another. 

As I mentioned at the beginning, the only reason I like this book even a modicum is because of the characters themselves. Even though I did find their acrimonious rivalries childish and irritating, I still like the six main characters more than most other novels.

 I’m a sucker for flawed characters, especially mean ones, and almost all of the characters in The Atlas Paradox are cruel to some extent. 

So even if the first 350 pages didn’t move the story along, repeated the same measly plot points, and didn’t develop the characters beyond their bitter feelings, I still enjoyed it. It’s like reading a 350 page slice-of-life fanfiction of The Atlas Six where they’re all just living in the house and sniping at each other constantly. 

Is it good writing and storytelling? No, of course not. Did I still find parts of it enjoyable? Yes, I did. 

That being said, I did abhor Olivie’s choice to make Callum an alcoholic. He’s probably my favorite character, in lieu of him being the biggest bitch of them all, but she cripples him by making him drown himself in spirits. 

My theory on this is that Callum is supposed to be smart (they all are technically) and since the plot wasn’t moving along, she needed some way to stunt Callum’s growth and progress. Hence, the drinking. 

I hate this choice and I hate how Callum did almost nothing for the entirety of this book (along with Parisa and Reina) when he could have done so many riveting things and actually grown as a character. 

For all these reasons, I didn’t loathe The Atlas Paradox like some other people, but I did find the second installment to be a vast disappointment and a lost opportunity for what Blake could have accomplished otherwise.

 Through molasses-slow pacing, impeding her characters and their development, and erasing her plot, Blake wrote a novel equivalent in significance to fanfiction, ruining her chance to create something really great instead. 

Recommendation: Skim the first 350 pages for the most thrilling tete-a-tetes and then read the ending. You’re not missing out on anything substantial, I promise. 

Score: 6/10

Cold winter: More about Siegfried

MORE ABOUT SIEGFRIED

Freely translated from the “Dictionary of Characters and Figures – from Literature, Opera, Cinema and BD”

It is at the age of 35 that Wagner, having just finished “Lohengrin”, took an interest into Siegfried, a mythical character part of various Scandinavian sagas such as the “Song of the Nibelungen” or the Eddas. He wrote for seven whole years the poems that will form the essence of the “Ring of the Nibelungen”, a tetralogy he will only finish at 61 years old: it shows how much he was haunted by this legendary hero, called variously Sigurd, Siegwart or Sigisbert depending on the countries. Wagner’s main textual source seems to have been the trilogy of the German poet Karl de la Motte Fouqué, “The Hero of the North” - he completed his research with “Lied vom Hürnen Seyfrid”, “The Song of Horn-skinned Siegfried”. Another poet of Wagner’s time, F. Hebbel, took an interest to those same texts, and published in 1861 his own “The Nibelungen”.

Siegfried symbolizes youth and the prime of life, with all of its recklessness and levity, but one that is carrying a grand destiny: the victorious fight against the wicked forces that prevent the workings of the world. Siegfried’s sacrifice is supposed to lead humanity towards the reign of an universal love. Present in primitive Irish mythology, as well as in Norway, Greenland, and among the Franks and the Burgundians, Siegfried is always depicted as the lover of Brunehilde, queen of Iceland, who has a divine ancestry and a palace surrounded by a wall of flames.

The Nibelungen are dwarfs that live under the earth and are ruled by Alberich (see Oberon). After having stolen away Alberich’s treasure, which was guarded by the dragon Fafner, Siegfried bathes in the blood of the slain monster, which gives him invulnerability – however, as a sign of his mortality, just like with Achilles, one part of his skin stays vulnerable and mortal, the spot where a basswood leaf got stuck as he took his blood bath. It will be there that Hagen will plant his spear, killing Siegfried. But much before that, he also took the dwarfs’s magical cope which allows him, among many other things, to become Brunehilde’s fiancé after crossing the wall of flames, using the magical cloak. This is the main subject of the third part of the Wagnerian work, “Siegfried”, and the first where the hero actually appears.

The fourth part, “The Twilight of the gods”, shows us a Siegfried carried away by a strong desire to accomplish new exploits. Joining the Burgundians, he meets there Krimehilde (or Gudrun), sister of Gunther (or Gunnar). Like a new Tristan, Siegfried drinks, as a welcome drink, a potion that makes him betray his love for Brunehilde as he gets attracted by Krimehilde (who in turn had fallen in love with him at first sight). A deal is made: Gunther will give Krimehilde to Siegfried if he agrees to help him conquer the woman he desires, Brunehilde. Siegfried uses again his magical cloak, and the whole business is quickly settled – but the happiness of the new couples doesn’t last. Brunehilde, angry at having tricked and betrayed, shows to Gunther the spot where the hero is vulnerable and Hagen kills the hero.

It is interesting to compare another work on the same legend, but part of a different generation and ideology: Fritz Lang also got inspired by the ancient legends, without however passing by Wagner’s work. His Nibelungen, composed of two parts (The Death of Siegfried and The Revenge of Siegfried) is an hymn of vengeance for the hero that will help the Reich get back up from its defeat. A grandiloquent and expressionist work, this movie presents us an Alberich bearing strong anti-Semitic stereotypes, against a very “Aryan” Siegfried. Strong socio-political subtexts were also present in Wagner’s work, where Siegfried was presented as a “good savage” who met his demise at the hand of mediocre and unworthy people, as well as a redemption-figure whose death brought forward the end of the old gods and the creation of a new order. It is however difficult to interpret Siegfried’s character solely as a nietzschean hero before his time, driven solely by a desire for power: after all, the hero will be crushed – for some by capitalism and its sinister deterministic machine (a metaphor of the “gold of the Rhine”), for others because he didn’t had the ability to surpass himself, unlike the grand hero Perceval/Parsifal.

I just finished reading the last book in the Tristan Strong trilogy and I haven't had such a good time with a series since like, Percy Jackson. They're very different books, to be sure, but they both just... scratch an itch that not a lot of authors do.

Props to Kwame Mbalia for the impeccable writing and thanks to Rick Riordan for uplifting other writers with his publishing house

[teartra]

What is Rick Riordan presents?

Does Rick Riordan make another mythology series?

Honestly, it’s a very common question I’ve seen around. Short answer is no but long answer is...

No, Rick Riordan Presents is an imprint series within Disney Publishing Worldwide. The imprint features books that are connected to ancient myths in the modern day, much like Rick Riordan's books, with a few exceptions.

Almost all the series are criminally underrated and barely have more than 20 people in the fandom. Tiara is just being hyperbolic here... don’t mind her but honestly, if you like PJO/TKC or any Rick Riordan related mythology story

You should give them a try

All of the series have a very diverse cultures, mythologies, characters and interesting stories! YOU SHOULD PUT THEM ON YOUR 2021 READING LIST

[sunny-deejee]

YALL

[riordanverse-dorphin]

If all the main characters of RR and RR Presents meet? How would they interact?

I have! So many thoughts about this!!

Nizhoni, Aru, & Zane would all have lightning weapons so they’d compare

Aru would give them rides on Vajra

I call them the Lightning Weapons Squad, they’d be best friends, & I love them

If Tristan mentioned needing someone to practice boxing with Nizhoni would volunteer in a heartbeat

Idk how easy boxing is to pick up but I can see them being boxing bros

Brynne & Tristan def have a friendly boxing vs wrestling rivalry

Min, Brooks, & Brynne have a shapeshifters club

Min doesn’t get to be in her fox form much so she’s having a great time

Then Mini brings up the food chain & “don’t hawks eat foxes or something” and now it’s just awkward

When he first sees Jun Mac thinks he’s still on fire & tries to put him out

It doesn’t work but Jun’s touched that he tried

Tristan & Mac bond over comic books

Mac tries to get her to back him up bc Spider-Man is absolutely the best superhero

But Aru’s worried they’ll call her a fake fan or whatever for not reading the comics so she pretends to think comics are stupid

Aventura ni ni ni’s her

Sal & Gabi canonically read End of Time, & prossibly others, so they might accidentally weird people out at first

Zane, Brooks, & Ren (especially Ren) befriend them bc they’re more used to their adventures being published

Gabi befriends Min bc she’s very impressed that Min has a job

They both have that “I’m not a rule breaker but I end up breaking the rules a lot” vibe

Also Gabi would lose her mind over the Dragon Pearl

Min gets everybody to play a baduk tournament

She wins but Sheela (who plays baduk online a lot) comes close

I hc that Yasmany’s been kinda interested in medical stuff ever since he wrote that paper on diabetes

He & Mini end up talking a bunch

She’s glad for the chance to infodump & Yasmany likes listening too her

Sheela and Yasmany would have the sweetest friendship okay

They’d gossip about everyone’s love lives & Yasmany would show Sheela dance moves

Aventura & Nikita being fashion buddies tho

Nikita has that stereotypical “my chlothes are better than yours” fashion designer additude & Aventura very much does not

So I could def see Nikita admiring & looking up too Aventura

Or they’d hate each other who knows

When Min brings up Charm all the Pandavas start elbowing Aiden & trying to get him to bring up the Smoulder

He doesn’t

Brynne and Gabi would be best friends I’m right

Davery kinda reminds me of Eddie so I could see him & Tristan getting along

Nizhoni, Davery, & Tristan would be a friend group

Idk why but I get the sense that Brooks doesn’t talk much in big groups

Mac is probably used to being in the background (he seems like a quiet kid too) so he would go talk to her

Mini too but I feel like Brooks & Mac would have a nice friendship

[deathsmallcaps]

PJO TV Plans

So before even the first little HINT about the PJO Disney+ show, I was making plans for a Riordan-verse tv show.

So each season would have twenty episodes, with 8-9 episodes per book and in the middle, two episodes based on short stories or myths. This would allow for the actors, who would obviously be age-matching kids, to grow and still be the appropriate ages for each story. 

As we would eventually run out of actual Riordan books, we would move on to Riordan Presents books. Here’s my plans! Let me know what you think and if/how i should clarify!

(Bold is Season, italic is middle/short story episodes, and strikethrough is book. I often show the extents of each episode through chapter titles or quotes found on the wiki plot summaries of each book. If using chapter title, that means it uses every chapter until the next mentioned one.)
