#calling of light

[aroaessidhe]

deeply obsessed with the reviews and posts about Calling of Light where people are tripping over themselves to articulate their confusion over the concept of friendship.

the constant referrals to the 'love interests' (two boys similar age as the MC who are regularly referred to with the words friend and family?), the confusion over who she 'ends up with' (it's not even a question in the book! she doesn't romantically end up with anyone!), how there were "scenes" with all three other main characters where they stargaze and look at each other yet it doesn't "go anywhere" which is confusing (friends hang out with each other! shocking!)

Title: Shamanborn

Author: Lori M. Lee

Series or standalone: series

Publication year: 2020

Genres: fiction, fantasy

Blurb: Sirscha Ashwyn comes from nothing, but she's intent on becoming something. After years of training to become the queen's next royal spy, her plans are derailed when shamans attack and kill her best friend...but Sirscha somehow restores Saengo to life. Unveiled as the first soulguide in living memory, Sirscha is summoned to the domain of the Spider King. For centuries, he has used his influence over the Dead Wood - an ancient forest possessed by souls - to enforce peace between the kingdoms. Now, with the trees growing wild and untamed, only a soulguide can restrain them. As war looms, Sirscha must master her newly-awakened abilities before the trees shatter the brittle peace...or worse, claim Saengo, the friend she would die for.

Title: Calling of Light | Author: Lori M. Lee | Publisher: Page Street (2024)

[disconnected-dragon]

“Could L have stopped Walter White”

“Could Benoit Blanc have stopped Kira”

Blah blah blah ENOUGH. We have to ask the real questions—

Could Saul Goodman get Light off? And barring that how much would Light’s sentence be reduced?

parce qu'on s'est crié des mots qui ont sali tous nos plus beaux dessins, on a hurlé des chaudières d'encre noire sur le bonheur

j'expose ma tête, mes yeux, mon cœur et mes mains

si tu reviens

something quiet, gentle, and romantic for today. I’ve been assured it’s suggestive enough for @goodomensafterdark ‘s smut war, so enjoy this soft interlude with suggestive tummy ��️

AND WHEN KILLER GETS KILLED, HE HAS SO MANY DIFFERENT REGRETS AND SO MANY DIFFERENT WANTS THAT HIS SOUL ESSENTIALLY SPLITS INTO TWO—. UT THEYRE STILL VERY MUCH CONNECTED? LIKE THEY ARE DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF HIM BUT NEITHER CAN MOVE ON UNTIL THE OTHER IS SATIATED AND EISJCNDJSKCSKCMDLD

GOD THESE TWO ARE SO BADASS DISJCJCJC MY OWN BRAINROT IS GOING NUTS

MAYBE MORE TO COME SOON OK BYEEEEE

[eggo-tistical]

what if we made out sloppy style in the investigation headquarters

[sgt-tombstone]

nothing makes me happier than the idea that Simon has a little old lady that lives next door to his flat in Manchester who doesn’t know who he is so she dotes on him with all of the force and determination usually reserved for USAmerican southern grandmothers

and of course he’s powerless to stop it, even if he knew how, so he just submits to being forcefully taken care of and worried about every time he goes on leave (to his great embarrassment the first time Johnny comes home with him and sees the fearsome lieutenant getting coddled by a random 93 year old woman who treats him like her grandson)
