I'm an architect but I don't really blog about that...
I'm a big lover of folktales and fairytales, fantasy, and horror, but I also love reading about history and natural science.

Something Rotten - Mystery, fantasy, politics
When one of her peers in both nobility and academia dies under mysterious circumstances, Archmage Atia, Duchess of Tirest is devastated. Especially when police are unable to produce a cause of death and investigate what she's certain is a murder amongst Kentar's royals and elites. Determined not to let her old friend's death go unavenged, her Grace decides it's time to use her encyclopedic knowledge of magic and court politics to figure out how he was killed and who is responsible. Dahi, Lady Atia's indentured maidservant, would much prefer that her aging and infirm mistress not stay up to all hours going through magical texts and run all over the city talking to suspects. Only a year from being released from her contract, Dahi has been promised something truly unheard of by her beloved mistress: back wages for her years of faithful service. Wages she absolutely will not get if the old woman gets herself killed before the contract expires.
The Priestess and the Pirate - Romance, fantasy, swashbuckling
The Imperial Navy is a great place to hide away an illegitimate and unwanted prince. It's not quite as ideal for his attendant, Myrina, a priestess who has been tasked with keeping the young prince 'pure'. Barely older than his highness and just as delighted with the new sights and experiences of the open sea, Myrina has been struggling with the expectations of the church to keep the spare prince (and herself) from falling into the habits of the navy men they're surrounded with. When the Imperial flagship is attacked by pirates, both Myrina and her charge are captured. The pirate captain seems to be much less interested in the prince and his potential ransom than he is in prying Myrina away from her piety… but there are darker forces at work than the rakish pirate's personal desires.

Anyways the thing about Escaping Perdition is because the big 'save the world' battle happened thirty years ago and the divine heroes didn't exactly win, you've got an entire group of deeply traumatized and disabled fifty and sixty year olds scattered around the world... but the main characters are a guy who was already getting called a washed up old man during The War and a tiny little prepubescent boy who believes in him more than anything and I don't know how NOT to make myself insane about them.
Absolutely hilarious that the first draft of Escaping Perdition was like 130-140k and I spent weeks agonizing over removing subplots and moving events to later books, but both drafts of In the Chillest Land slid in under 100k...
The weird part is the chapters are shorter too? EP regularly had chapters go a little over 5k, but ItCL rarely even hits 4k. I can't decide if Drysia's story is just... way more straightforward or if Kaios is just a rambly old fart. probably both right?
Listen okay Cira is a junkyard dog of a person. She was made to chase and maul and kill and that's what she's good at she was never going to be as kind as Kai or as clever as Cam or as horrifically patient as Nejen. She's all blood and teeth and you can't change that.
Bree is the very image of refinement, but it's all a mask. She's a pretty, poised snake and beneath all the shine and the curves it's all venom. She's just as angry, just as bloodthirsty, she just knows how to hide it.
Control is the only difference between them. So if Cira is no control and Bree is ALL control it just makes sense, doesn't it? Who else would be able to hold that leash without wanting a muzzle?
ugh I have so many thoughts about Cira and Bree but my brain is still too oogy from The Sick to write. I keep opening documents thinking I've got good words and just utter nonsense comes out :(
