Okay so this is really random but does anyone remember the World quake bookseries. I was absolutely obsessed at 11 years old but I've just checked and the website doesn't seem to be online anymore? And it's such a shame because the personality quiz on there was second to none

[aretemisapollo]

So it's now been 4 years since the fourth Worldquake book was supposed to come out. I'm starting to really question whether we'll ever get it, or if it's vanished. The author is still writing other books so there's still a chance we'll get that fourth book some day

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if you enjoyed Nevermoor, go and read the Worldquake Sequence. It's so good istg. It's got everything, found family, magic, dragons, book magic, fucking dragons, dnd style abilities/character things. It's one of my all time favourite books, the first one is Dragon's Green I recommend them so much

The words were a worldquakes. Magnitudes throughout body, outward into the void between he and his target.

Words spoken through a link and language he hadn't used since denouncing his roll as a number.

Dragon's Green by Scarlett Thomas

Rating: ★★★★☆

Plot- or character-driven? Character

Strong character development? It's complicated

Loveable characters? Yes

Diverse cast of characters? No

Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

NOT SPOILER FREE

Dragon's Green is a joy to read with a writing style that reminded me of why I fell in love with reading in the first place. Throughout the story Thomas gave plenty of clever hints to allude to the importance of books and last editions in a way that could be understood by young readers. My favourite by far is the set up for Laura Wilde's series to become a last edition. Thomas does a great job of capturing the childish and fun feeling of magic while still giving it reasonable limitations.

If I didn't know it was the first book of a series I would've easily realized it was while reading it. It's greatest flaw is probably that it's so clearly a set up for the rest of the series. It's mostly just a book of worldbuilding with not much in the way of plot and the problems are solved with quite a bit of ease.

A great book for young readers, something I'm looking forward to reading with my niece.

Memorable Quote(s):

"You knocked on my door, which means you must have some questions. People without questions do not go knocking on strange doors." pg. 234

Potential Content Warnings:

There was a lot more child abuse than I was expecting and two cases of heavily implied adultery. None of these are described explicitly and are treated with a suitable level of seriousness given the likely ages of the readers. I don't see these as being justifiable reasons to not let children read these books but that might be a deal breaker for some parents. Considering I grew up on Guardians of Ga'Hoole and Silverwing I might not be the best judge of "child friendly."

The dragon was also written in a very uncomfortable way. He was often described as a "handsome man" and all he wants in life is to chat, have dinner, and eat with girls ages 11-16. He picks them from a catalogue and the girls are drugged in the morning so that they don't experience any pain when he eats them. It's never implied that he's doing anything sexual but it's very hard not to make that connection as an adult. I don't think any children readers will think much of him though and luckily the dragon portion of the story is relatively short.

Dragon's Green - Scarlett Thomas

My Goodreads Rating: 5/5 Stars

Genre: Middle Grade Fantasy

Format I read it in: Audiobook narrated by Roger Allam

Thoughts: This was an absolute roller coaster. I originally listened to it because of the narration but I definitely stayed for the plot and characters

No one has a normal name and I'm living for it

The power of books

The power of friendship

Roger Allams natural snark and syrupy voice makes this novel perfect

The 11yo protagonists reading Antigone and Oedipus Rex in school lmao ("it was very sad but more importantly it was tragic")

A school for the gifted, troubled and strange

A child abuse victim standing up to his abuser

Criticism of the diet and beauty industry in a children's book hell yeah

There's no ethical consumption of princesses under capitalism

A teacher doing a drug test with a student be cause she suddenly got good a tennis

"tennis court three is haunted"

Modern technology? No what about just using modems and pagers again

The Dim Web (it's the dark web but for magic lmao)

Three royal babies and a prime minister mentioned a cryptids alongside Nessie and Bigfoot

The concept of last readers is pretty cool

Roger Allam could read me the Yellow Pages and I'd be hooked tbh

Book recommendations

The Worldquake series by Scarlett Thomas (book one: Dragons Green, book two: Chosen Ones, book three: Galoglass) and The Magic Thief by Sarah Prineas (book one: Magic Thief, book two: Lost, book three: Found, book four: Home (there's also a short story that's only available via ebook))

Both Fandoms are very small and they really deserve more love

[necromancers-incorporated]

I saw that you're in the Worldquake Fandom and wanted to say hi (Hi!) It's so incredibly wonderful to find someone else who's read Worldquake!

Btw have you heard anything about the 4th book? The last thing I heard was that it was coming out in April 2020

First, HI! Sorry my reply took ages I've been without a phone on annual camp for the ACF

Second, fourth book!? I never heard anything about that! I'd love a fourth book, that series took over my life its one of my favourite books!

I'm so happy someone else knows this series!

[book--brackets]

I have literally never found another person that has read this book but Dragon's Green. I've been obsessed with the lore of the world of Dragon's Green every since the ripe age of ten - it's like DND meets your classic witches and wizards meets something else entirely. I would 100% recommend it - I need someone to talk to about this lma. Also I need to convince someone of my rarepair, but I can't do that if no one's read it.

I'm assuming you want to submit the world of Dragon's Green. It'll be listed under the Worldquake Sequence :)

The Midwinter celebration is nearing, the Diberi are trying to end the world (again), someone left a fortune to the city’s cats, the university is overflowing with writers and that’s before everyone’s own problems needs sorting out.

In the third book in the Worldquake series we once again meet Effie, Maximillian, Raven, Lexy and Wolf, as they continue to learn more about their kharakters and…
