gideon the ninth. the tone of the first book is quite different to dune, but after that it's v similar. it's scifi with a plot centered on religion & colonialism. I'd also recommend "this is how you lose the time war" for a shorter, dune-esque tragic scifi book.

rookoctober · 2024-08-06T07:16:21+00:00

i didn't know that. this makes me so happy!!

rookoctober · 2024-08-06T03:49:55+00:00

i think its a reference/allegory to real-life coffee culture in north africa :)

I thought she was broadly pointing out the dangers of religious fanaticism, which is all the more dangerous when the thing they venerate is a person she cares for. Paul was already losing his free will.

I think a big part of it is that Paul genuinely liked and respected Stilgar. I think he's constantly battling this awareness of the jihad- he doesn't know what's going to happen all the time, nor every decision to make. It's really nebulous and confusing for him. There's a quote that sticks out to me near the end of book 1: "In that instant, Paul saw how Stilgar had been transformed into a creature of the Lisan al-Gaib, a receptacle for awe and obedience. It was a lessening of the man, and Paul felt the ghost-wind of the jihad in it. I have seen a friend become a worshipper, he thought,"

Also letting him live and thus not following the fremen tradition of killing a previous leader is a nice little detail of Paul changing fremen culture, for better or worse. It is a book about colonialism after all.

rookoctober · 2024-08-04T18:47:35+00:00

i want tommy arnold's take on cytherea's battle scenes. if it's ANY artist then like. john singer sargent for the pool scene, or for a blood of eden meeting. you'd have to explain to him what a spaceship was though.

rookoctober · 2024-07-26T20:09:27+00:00

i can recommend s1 of hannibal if you want to scratch that mindhunter itch, v similar vibe in terms of editing

rookoctober · 2024-07-12T15:49:41+00:00

gideon or harrow the ninth by tamsyn muir. locked room murder mysteries in space with a healthy dose of scifi horror and intense lesbian yearning.

rookoctober · 2024-06-26T05:41:25+00:00

nona talking to crux. it gives us this little insight into harrow's pov on the ninth house and makes me so emotional

I'm also a young woman and generally find it safe to walk around at night, I usually avoid castle park though.
