The fact that Tolkien realized heβd created inconsistency for LotR with the first published version of The Hobbit and then retconned it with the in universe explanation of βBilbo is a liar,β is never going to stop being both equal parts brilliant and funny.

my friend's putting out her debut novel, and it's available for ebook pre-order (print edition forthcoming)... i was lucky enough to get to read an advance so i'm gonna put the summary below the jump an also my own ravings about it.
short version, i really recommend it -- it's a space adventure, a moving meditation on grieving, and chock full of lesbian rep.
summary:
After pirates kill her three crewmates, Sam decides it's time to sell her ship and get out of the space business altogether. She hasnβt got a clue what sheβll do instead, but anythingβs got to be better than captaining a kraken-class cargo cruiser haunted by the memories of her friends.
The problem is, just when Samβs supposed to be meeting a buyer, she finds herself enacting a rescue instead. Of a woman who might be an entirely different kind of problem.
Kate knows what itβs like to lose someone. But having lived her entire life on planet, she canβt understand why Sam would want to sell her escape to the stars. It feels like incredibly good luck when the slightly surly captain agrees to assemble a new crew take her up for one final job.
But when they end up kidnapped by a space mobster and forced to track down the same pirates that killed Samβs crew, itβs starting to look like retirement might be permanent for them both.
my rant:
okay. sam. i love sam so much. she's repressing and trying to stay distant, trying to stay self-contained, full of loss and fear of further pain. circumstances force her into all the situations she wants to most avoid and she slowly, despite herself, ends up engaging again. it's like watching a beautiful, very grumpy flower unfold and soak up the rain and it just moves me so freaking much.
the adventure is compelling and exciting and twists and turns throughout some amazing futuristic locales. i don't want to give away too much plot but it's fun and suspenseful and the side characters are also really interesting.
i loved this so much i read it in every spare minute over two days, because i had to know what happened next. i love when a book grabs me like that :)
preorder link!
