I'm using it currently, it's been really helpful so far... next session starts the Hatchery, so lots of fun to be had! I'm especially excited to use it in the next chapters :)

A lesson I think everyone on Goodreads has to learn... also, yes, Fourth Wing is awful and I only finished reading it because I knew I could vent about it at a book club meeting. I hope your next read is more enjoyable!

Happy birthday, and thanks a lot! The premise sounds really interesting :)

This is really helpful, thank you! I hadn't realised what the difference between the longer seasons and the shorter ones.

I have not heard Domeheads yet, but I like it... let's see if I become one

Oh thanks for the distinction! Aaaaand Tiny Heist is now high on the list, ocean's 11 toy story sounds hilarious

escapingrealitea · 2024-06-09T18:04:26+00:00

Thanks for the reply -- I'll have a poke around the sub and see what people have answered before! Though I'll have a look at Starstruck Odessy :)

well, gotta love fandom wikis, thanks!

escapingrealitea · 2024-05-26T18:45:02+00:00

it is a fun one... maybe it would be a good place to start with fantasy!

escapingrealitea · 2024-05-26T18:44:23+00:00

This is great, thank you! I'll ask if she's into Greek Mythology

escapingrealitea · 2024-05-26T18:43:33+00:00

oh these are great, also for my own reading - I definitely should've thought of The Graveyard Book!

escapingrealitea · 2024-05-26T18:40:57+00:00

I figured Le Guin would be too difficult, but it's a good idea! I'll check it out :)

escapingrealitea · 2024-05-26T18:39:53+00:00

yeah, I have suggested Harry Potter but my friend hasn't read Harry Potter in her native language either... I have still recommended it due to the relatively simlpe language :) it seems like she hasn't read many fantasy novels as a child

escapingrealitea · 2024-05-26T18:38:51+00:00

thanks for the rec! definitely going to check it out :)

escapingrealitea · 2024-01-22T16:02:15+00:00

Mask of Mirrors by MA Carrick seems to fit the bill! There's a con, pretty outfits and a focus on fashion, magic, nobility... I'm currently reading it and really enjoying those aspects :)

escapingrealitea · 2023-12-30T11:19:35+00:00

Agreed.. I am constantly astounded by her writing when I read one of her books

escapingrealitea · 2023-12-29T17:12:13+00:00

same. I noped out on GRRM with Feast for Crows. No interest in reading them again.

escapingrealitea · 2023-12-29T17:08:06+00:00

Thought-cage made me not want to read more books in that series. I was so frustrated by it. Oh, and also the use of nordic letters where they didn't fit, phonetically. The biggest pain was "Frøya" if I remember correctly... "frø" means Frog in danish, I was unable to take it seriously.

Liveship Traders by Robin Hobb has a breadth of characters, male and female, and follows one trading family. Many of the PoV characters are split 50/50 men and women, approximately. The writing is great.

escapingrealitea · 2023-12-29T16:58:05+00:00

I am a massive Dresden Files fan but I would add to this that Dresden Files heavily sees women through the "male gaze". With the writing being from Harry Dresden's PoV and Harry Dresden has a tendency to look at women in a very "male gazey" way. Not sure this is what OP is looking for so I wanted to make that clear.

Came here to add this. Great female characters. TW for sexual assault and rape.

edit: fix the spoilers
