i just binged the hell out of GtN and HtN and my big takeaway is this is just warhammer 40k but with space lesbians instead of space marines

My husband is trying to sell me on reading the Warhammer Eisenhorn books by describing them as "basically what would happen if Jod could never leave the Mithraeum for Reasons and the Lyctors didn't all just fuckin die fighting space godzillas immediately"

I don't know if that's accurate but it definitely increased their appeal for me.

I wound up in the fifth house, so I suppose it falls upon me to remind all of y'all fourth house members to tidy your room and don't stare at the shadow cultists. It's impolite and they're probably more afraid of you than you are of them, after all.

lmao I love the fact that she put this extremely mid 2000's internet quiz together. I feel like I should link it in my livejournal profile.

I read The Dawhounds cause Tamzyn recommended it and that was a pretty good waiting for Nona book.

Except now I also have to wait for that book’s sequel. gently caress.

That's how they get you. You get addicted to that particular flavor of humor thinly coating a primal, human scream of sorrow and longing, and then you end up with a whole bookshelf full of New Zealand authors.

... Also if anything bad happens to Wajet in book two I will probably cry.

Awesome Burger shirt on Etsy from a seller who makes some pretty kickass Book Shirts. Bookseller I follow on Twitter (who has a running count of copies of GtN that she's sold to people) bought one and it's great

Coronabeth really, really wants to be the one who gets eaten.

His name is John.

I'm pretty sure John is the first, and the ninth is locked away in the tomb, probably being driven around by Harrow now if the 3 card soul monty is accurate

Finished it in under 24 hours, thanks to the help of my daughter who woke me up at 4:30am.

Extreme ending spoilers, but my one big question is how did Jod end up with Gideon's body in the first place? It was solidly in Edenite control in As Yet Unsent.

Also, big lol about wearing friendship bracelets with Ianthe. Prince Friends Forever!

Now that Nona's out I really want to know which meme Tamsyn slipped past her editor before he could catch it. When he spoke with One Flesh One End podcast, Carl had mentioned there was one in there that he didn't catch until someone who had read the ARC had pointed it out to him and I desperately need to know which one it was

Pyrrha had last been to the ninth to paint a nursery. John talked about being concerned about maternity a lot in the past. Anastasia's lyctorhood failed because she was pregnant, and the additional soul hosed it all up.

It's also directly referenced in Nona. Because kismesis is represented by the spades suit of a standard card deck, it turns ||Gideons line to Pyrrha "You're the one that spaded my mum" into a really dumb Homestuck pun.||

So just where is Harrow's personality while her body is being occupied by whatever it is

It's in the Tomb, half in Alecto's body and half in the River, re-experiencing Alecto's memories. Because Alecto and John share a soul this makes it possible for John to occasionally speak directly to present-day Harrowhark in the context of the memory. We know this because Alecto sees and remarks on Harrow's soul in her body when they return to the Tomb, along with the body of Anastasia curled up by the door.

I did a Jod costume at Magfest and got one "gently caress you John Gaius" yelled at me from across the hallway by an unknown assailant. There were two Harrows, a Gideon, and a surprisingly good Isaac around.

Do you have pics? I didn't get good shots of any of the cosplay at Magfest because I was too busy gawping. As one does.
