I don't normally go about praising books, but I just finished the last book in the Covenant of Steel trilogy by Anthony Ryan and oh my god. These books, this story, has been one of the best things I've read in such a long time. The writing is wonderful, as is the world he crafted. The characters are believable (with all ranges of people represented!! Including poc and queer people!!) and it is not smutty at all (there is only two scenes in which there is some sex, but the description is more fade-to-black, which I appreciated immensely). There is a lot of thematic ties to the idea of martyrdom and the power of religion as a source both of corruption and comfort. And the battles, knights, and fighting techniques... *chef's kiss* There's also just enough magic involved that it can be called fantasy, but it's done is a very interesting way.

So 10/10, definitely check them out if you're looking for something to read. I can't say they're for everyone, but I know some people here who would enjoy it.

Reason #193028 why you should read the covenant of steel: female character who fits all the criteria that would get a male character dubbed babygirl.

She's tormented by visions. She has religious trauma. She's a war criminal. She could be your everything instead of that male character. Stan Evadine Courlain

My first proper rebind! This was so much fun, it's not perfect but I learnt a ton and I can't wait to do the next one ✨

Blood Song by Anthony Ryan is really damn good and it deserved a new jacket!

Anyways, I just realised it's 'Blood Song' not 'Bloodsong' 💀

Also the paper I used for the Oxford hollow was too thick and now it doesn't fall open as easily as I would have liked

Will do better next time 🤞

I'm almost done reading The Traitor (book #3 of The Covenant of Steel series) and here I am realizing too late how much I came to care for a character 😭

A fool is any man who doesn’t think he’s a fool.

Blood Song by Anthony Ryan

[lyssq]

Alwyn Scribe to me is a character of all time. Was illiterate up to age 17, then very soon after learning to write became regarded as one of the best scribes in the world. Lies at any given opportunity. Once tried to smuggle a vial of poison into prison by hiding it up his ass. God’s specialist little guy despite spending most of the series an atheist. Started several holy wars while once again not believing in any of the religions involved. Kept refusing to break up with his girlfriend despite all the red flags and the divine omens that she was evil. Really cares about preserving books and history but also wrote shit that was fully not true and tried to get it into an archive. Historians cannot agree whether he was good or evil because he switched sides so much. What more could you want from a man

I love Verniers Alishe Someren so much and feel so alone!

La martire. L'alleanza d'acciaio (Vol. 2) | Anthony Ryan

I tempi sono cambiati per Alwyn lo Srivano. Se prima era un fuorilegge, ora è un esperto di spionaggio e protettore giurato di lady Evadine Courlain, le cui visioni di un’apocalisse demoniaca le hanno fatto guadagnare la fanatica devozione dei fedeli. Tuttavia, la crescente fama di Evadine l’ha messa in contrasto sia con la Corona che con l’Alleanza e, mentre nuovi disordini affliggono il regno,…
