Whoa, great analysis! Seems plausible to me, although it's been a while since I read Harrow at this point. The great thing about this series is it's all "Hey check out these memes and lesbian necromancers" on the surface, hiding this magnificent work of craft with a strong historical and classical reference game too - an interwoven structure of strong yet flexible supporting narrative. boning

This continues to be utterly fascinating. Have you considered that one or more Houses may reside on a minor planet? I ask because Ianthe is Princess of Ida, and both Ida and Ianthe are minor planets in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/243_Ida https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/98_Ianthe

When the walls start growing teeth? When the tables grow hair on their legs? When the skeletal servitors shamble in just too spritely a fashion?

Does that involve Tamsyn Muir or the Locked Tomb somehow, or did you mean to post that in the SF thread?

It's basically made for disaffected kids who grew up on Harry Potter, which is not me, and also disaffected kids who grew up hating Harry Potter and enjoy a good roast of the magical prep school teen genre, which is definitely me

the idea that you can load people on spaceships faster than they get born is loving ludicrous, a complete nonstarter. the idea that you could build a fleet to carry ten billion humans at all is completely bullshit on the face of it

M_Gargantua posted:Birthrate isn't the tough part of it, its only 275,000 a day, and would quickly fall as you got to work, especially starting with the young. You'd have to be bottling 5,000,000 a day into i-c-weiners to finish in about 7 years, which is stupid but under the absolute grip of necrojod i'm sure we could have done it. Under the grip of necrojod yes, but they were trying to do it without magical powers when they got the magical powers. My point was more that anyone sensible, or aware of the energy required to launch payloads of that size to orbit on the regular, would have realized there was no way the trillionaires weren't conning the world into building them an escape vehicle right from the start. I dunno, I can accept miraculous flesh transmutation, but man, saving an entire human population by launching it into space on rockets just sounds like fantasy
