The Mirador (Doctrine of Labyrinths, #3)

Sarah Monette

In a continuation of the series that began with MÉlusine and The Virtu, wizard Felix Harrowgate returns to the Mirador, the citadel of power and wizardry, unaware that enemies from the Bastion, a rival school of wizards, plan to use him to destroy the Mirador, unless Felix's half-brother, Mildmay the Fox, can stop them.

Thoughts from 5%

Well, Paladin's Grace was as good as everyone said and gave me such a cozy happy boost I had to immediately start this one. I just wonder if the subplot of the last book will be resolved in this one or becomes the underlying story current of the whole series...

The Virtu (Doctrine of Labyrinths, #2)

Sarah Monette

Felix Harrowgate was a dashing and powerful wizard until his former master wrenched Felix’s magic from him and used it to shatter the Virtu—the orb that is the keystone for the protection and magic of the wizards of the city. Felix has painfully clawed his way back to sanity, and his only chance to reclaim the life he once knew is to repair the seemingly irreparable—to restore the Virtu. Mildmay the Fox was an assassin and a cat-burglar—until a curse caught up with him and his life changed forever. Haunted by death, his leg damaged by the curse that should have killed him, he does not know what awaits him in Mélusine, but for good or ill, his fate is tied to Felix’s, by blood…and by magic. On their journey, Felix and Mildmay will encounter friends and enemies old and new, vengeful spirits and ancient goddesses. They will uncover secrets better left buried. But nothing can prepare them for what awaits their return: Felix’s former master, the cruel and decadent wizard Malker Gennadion…

Mélusine (Doctrine of Labyrinths, #1)

Sarah Monette

Mélusine — a city of secrets and lies, pleasure and pain, magic and corruption — and destinies lost and found. Felix Harrowgate is a dashing, highly respected wizard. But his aristocratic peers don't know his dark past — how his abusive former master enslaved him, body and soul, and trained him to pass as a nobleman. Within the walls of the Mirador — Melusine's citadel of power and wizardry — Felix believed he was safe. He was wrong. Now, the horrors of his previous life have found him and threaten to destroy all he has since become. Mildmay the Fox is used to being hunted. Raised as a kept-thief and trained as an assassin, he escaped his Keeper long ago and lives on his own as a cat burglar. But now he has been caught by a mysterious foreign wizard using a powerful calling charm. And yet the wizard was looking not for Mildmay — but for Felix Harrowgate. Thrown together by fate, the broken wizard Felix and the wanted killer Mildmay journey far from Melusine through lands thick with strange magics and terrible demons of darkness. But it is the shocking secret from their pasts, linking them inexorably together, that will either save them, or destroy them.

Book Price Increases 🫠

I was taking a look at my old hunger games books yesterday that my family got when the series first came out and comparing them to the new copy of the first book that I got fairly recently. The old paperback copy of the book was only $9 while the new one was $16.99!! It's just so saddening to me that book prices have rose so much to a point where so many are inaccessible to people now. Hardcovers are especially bad right now too as some are upwards and above $30. What are y'all's thoughts on this, i'm just so tired of everything getting so much more expensive, especially my favorite hobby 😭

“Unreliable narrator” examples

When you guys think of an “unreliable narrator,” who do you first think of? What books/characters?

I had made a post about this topic on the Mockingjay forum as well but thought it would be interesting to ask here. I have seen Katniss referred to as an unreliable narrator before but I personally disagree, won’t go into detail in here again lol but just made me curious as to who everyone else thinks of. I personally think of The Yellow Wallpaper or Life of Pi.

Copper Skin, Oaken Lungs (Copper & Ash, #1)

Adam Bassett

For a thousand years, The Old Town has stood as humanity’s last bastion against the maalkonis, malignant black mists that reduced the rest of the world to ash. They are kept at bay by rusty machines on the town’s walls. In order to survive, the dwindling population depends on one another. Since a young age, Justīne has embraced the harsh responsibilities that accompanied her apprenticeship on the last farm in existence. Her younger sister, Anna, is beginning her own apprenticeship as well. Learning engineering was not Anna's first choice, but the town's last mage fell to the maalkonis years prior, leaving nothing behind but confusing books and strange runes. When food runs low during a particularly harsh winter, distrust spreads like a plague, and Justīne is blamed for it. As hunger leads to violence, she and her siblings are forced to flee The Old Town, embarking on a perilous journey into the very mists that had formed their cage. Their fight to survive in the dark develops into a hopeful mystery as they follow the breadcrumbs of a mage’s efforts to save the world. Meanwhile something pursues them through the maalkonis…

I think this was a fun book, not too character driven and not too fatalistic as is often the case with sort of eldritch horror books. I do think the ending was a bit weak, and characters could have been described a bit better; as far as I can tell it uses the same exact pattern each time. I liked the ominous plinths, but struggled a little to be continually engaged and enthralled by the story.

There Is No Antimemetics Division

qntm

An antimeme is an idea with self-censoring properties; an idea which, by its intrinsic nature, discourages or prevents people from spreading it.Antimemes are real. Think of any piece of information which you wouldn't share with anybody, like passwords, taboos and dirty secrets. Or any piece of information which would be difficult to share even if you complex equations, very boring passages of text, large blocks of random numbers, and dreams... But anomalous antimemes are another matter entirely. How do you contain something you can't record or remember? How do you fight a war against an enemy with effortless, perfect camouflage, when you can never even know that you're at war? Welcome to the Antimemetics Division. No, this is not your first day.This ebook is an official release by me, qntm from the SCP Foundation wiki! PM me if you require confirmation. This ebook collects all of my Antimemetics Division SCP-055, SCP-2256 and the complete serials There Is No Antimemetics Division and Five Five Five Five Five.
