They say they want new things in fantasy, then authors from marginalized groups do new things, but they don't like that, they want the new thing to be like the old thing except new.

What they really want is a book to rewind time and make them young again, something no book or anything else can do.

Gargoyle, spy, poet, fashionista. Shale is one of Seril’s children, who fought on the front lines of the God Wars and spent decades in exile sheltering his goddess. Now returned to Alt Coulumb, he's played a small but integral role in the books:

"I’m a straightforward gal. Tara’s the one for all the”—she waved her hand in a vague circle between them. “You know, scheming and plotting. I like things I can see and punch."

A red-robed skeleton, often accompanied by dramatic lighting, the King in Red fought viciously in the God Wars and rebuilt his city from the ashes in memory of his dead lover. Drama queen, war criminal, and genuinely spectacular Craftsman: meet Kopil.

Was gonna say Gladstone's a millennial, he'll understand, but actually that's more Gen Z and current and I don’t think he's as chronically online as me so maybe he wouldn't understand...

Maybe I should make a tiktok about why abelard is baby girl and therefore you should read craft

Disclaimer: characters for this series were chosen BEFORE I got the ARC of Dead Hand Rule. Being included in this series does not mean a character will necessarily have a role to play in the next book. I went for characters that had significant roles in at least 2 previous books.

What is best in life, reader edition.

Post from Angelica Chong saying "There is something incredibly satisfying about reading the first page of a book, and immediately something in your brain sits up and goes 'oh, I'm going to like this'-- and then every subsequent page proves you right."

I adORE him. Such a unique character too, I don't think I've read anyone quite like him.

(Slight expectation spoiler but.... I think you'll enjoy Dead Hand Rule)
