I have a confession to make: my current fictional crush spends most of his time as a giant anthropomorphic rat. LOOK he's a totally awesome rat, okay! He is overcoming prejudice against being a giant anthropomorphic rat to attend the best university in fantasyland! He can cheerfully discourse on legal, architectural, and socioeconomic

OH GOD I NEED TO CATCH UP SO BADLY. *avoids spoilers*

Also I do not judge you at all, Rakushun is completely awesome (and quite nice-looking when human).

[bookelfe]

YES YOU DO oh man, looking back I might even love this one more than Sea of Shadows and you know how much I loved Sea of Shadows!

Rakushun is totally awesome already in the first one, and he is if possible even more awesome in this one. I swear, he has a sanity field that extends for six meters in all directions around him. It's amazing!

OH GOD, THAT IS AN ASTOUNDING DEGREE OF AWESOME FOR A BOOK.

That is it, I am totally ordering three and four as soon as I'm back up at school.

I walked about forty blocks on Friday to get to the one store that had it in stock and it was TOTALLY WORTH IT.

I think I really need to read these books.

[bookelfe]

I love them so much! Yoko is one of my favorite fantasy protagonists of all time. OF ALL TIME.

My Backstory Is More Tragic Than Yours? (RPers on my flist, you probably know this game especially.)

THIS SO MUCH. I've known players specifically seek these sorts of characters out JUST to play this 'game'.

Hahaha man Star, I kind of want to print out a copy of the scene I was talking about in that book and make everyone who joins an RP ever read it as part of the required background material. (I include myself in this! It's an easy trap to fall into and I've totally found myself playing that 'game' once or twice before I caught myself.) And Ono skewers that whole "if I can't be the happiest, then I will be THE MOST MISERABLE and EVERYONE WILL FEEL SORRY FOR ME AND RESPECT ME FOR SURVIVING" mindset so gloriously, I love it.

GOD Mordred was bad at the 'my life sucks worse than yours' thing. *thawps him upside the head*

But, these books! Oh, they sound so utterly awesome.

[bookelfe]

Mordred was also a hilarious brat about it. *giggles*

Oh man Ashie, they are SO GOOD. And this one has three completely different awesome lady-kings AND a(n eventually) kickass princess to boot!

[ashen_key]

...this is true!

I WANT. I WANT NOW *grabby hands*

I have a confession to make: my current fictional crush spends most of his time as a giant anthropomorphic rat.,

My initial reaction was, "Ratigian?! :D"

[bookelfe]

Ratigan is a little too into the bling for me. *solemn*
