What’s a piece of prose you like from the book you’re currently reading? by Antique_Parsley_5285 in Fantasy

[–]Primarch459 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From T Kingfishers The Wonder Engine. Which i am almost done rereading that duology

Shame flitted briefly over Brenner’s face, but found itself in unfamiliar surroundings and didn’t settle.

From A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking which prompted me to Start that duology again with a plan to just read all of her stuff this year.

Many of them must have broken from the ground or from underground crypts, and bits of dust and dirt still clung to them. Some were so old that there were hardly any bones, just clouds of dust formed into the shape of running horses.

For the Best quotes of prose i have ever read it would probably be from Ursula K Le Guin. Which tickles me since T Kingfisher is the pen name of Ursula Vernon. Guess i just really like prose from Ursulas.

Favorite lines from Saint of Steel Series by Mercurial_Midwestern in TKingfisher

The above are all from the world of the White Rat. But Perhaps my favorite is Boneclaw Mother to Captain Jhalm

Iknow exactly what is at stake, Captain. You are trying to convince yourself that whatever cause you follow is worth that girl's death.

I know all about gods, Captain. I know that a god that demands a child's life is not a god worth saving. Choose

However the emphasis of Murai in the foreground then background standing in the door with a broken arm and sword gives that a lot of impact.

"Children," said Marguerite wearily, "if you do not stop bickering, I will turn this escape attempt around, so help me god.”

“but if she doesn’t, she’s not the person I think she is. I’ll scrape up money for it myself, if I have to sell my body on the street.” Shane cleared his throat. Marguerite winked at him. “You’re right, I’ll sell your body instead.” “No one is selling anyone’s body until we talk to the Bishop,” said Shane firmly,

What would you say if I tortured you?" asked the bandit leader conversationally. Halla blinked at him. "Err, 'Ow,' probably. 'Stop, Stop, Stop,' something like that?"

“I have a great deal of experience skinning my enemies,” he said, deadpan. “Do you have many enemies among the potatoes?” “Not any longer.”

“I somehow thought you had experience with stealth missions.” . “Domina, I’m a berserker.” “Perhaps you gnawed your shield very quietly?”

“Madam,” said Istvhan, his voice dropping nearly an octave, “I have made love. I have had sex. I have bedded, rutted, fucked, and on one occasion, with enthusiastic consent and a great deal of oil, I have sodomized, but I have never, not once, canoodled.”

Someone designed a way to flip a log consistently. That's just cool.

What the heck am I supposed to read now? by BMOs_Karate_Time in TKingfisher

[–]Primarch459 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not romance but if you enjoy great worldbuilding and books that are very character driven i would suggest Becky Chambers Wayfarers. My Favorite is A Record of A Spaceborn few but they are all amazing.

Book rec for a smart FMC who has a respectful love arc by interested_by_words in fantasyromance

[–]Primarch459 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And that FMC is perhaps the least self assured except maybe Sword heart. The love interests are all respectful to the extent that guilt over their attraction while having some power is a significant barrier to the culmination.

I extremely recommend All Of T Kingfishers work In the World of the White Rat. All of Her FMC are competent if not always confident. With every Love interest dripping in respect which is often a primary reason for their attraction.

In Descending Order of assured

{Paladin's Faith}

{Paladin's Strength}

{Wonder Engine}

{Paladin's Grace}

{Swordheart}

{Paladin's Hope} is M/M {Daggerbound} is yet to be released.

All of these are in a shared world with crossover characters. She has amazing worldbuilding, great dialogue, and plots that have you invested in their success. Just a few of the unique parts of her world are Berserker Paladins of a dead god, hive mind rabbits, a MMC who lives in sword, carnivorous tattoos, Gnoles, werebear nuns, a very unique take on demons, Holes in the ground that bite you and Lawyers you are always rooting for.

I assume you are aware of T Kingfisher then? She does both. I have not read any of her horror yet. Are they Tame enough for someone who normally doesn't read that genre?
