Alright SJM fans let's get real for a minute about another series you need to be reading

The Kingkiller Chronicles, by my hero Patrick Rothfuss.

Oh? Never heard of them? Not surprising even though they’re BETTER THAN ANY OTHER FANTASY SERIES I’VE EVER READ. YEAH THAT’S RIGHT I JUST SAID BETTER THAN ANY OTHER FANTASY SERIES I’VE READ.

(Now ACOMAF is on par with TKC on a good day, but they are SO DIFFERENT the comparison isn’t really there… but I digress)

Do you like Harry Potter? LOTR? YOU WILL LOVE THIS SERIES. Two of the three books are out: #1 is The Name of the Wind and #2 is The Wise Man’s Fear.

You like world building books? Rothfuss spent YEARSSSSS writing these books, the world building is UNREAL.

Also MAGIC??? FEMINISM??? POLITICS??? EDUCATION??? ACTION??? ECONOMY??? ROMANCE??? ANGST??? MORE MAGIC??? MONSTERS???

And the CHARACTERS my GOD. You’ve got the badass protagonists who make stupid ass mistakes but then LEARN AND GROW FROM THEM. The innocent, quirky characters you would lay your life down for. The EVIL ASS MOTHERFUCKING CHARACTERS YOU WANT TO DIE A SLOW, PAINFUL DEATH. The mysterious characters you NEED to know more about. You got ‘em ALL.

Oh wait - quick segue - do you like Hamilton? Or In The Heights? Or Moana? Of course you do, they’re masterpieces. And what do those three things have in common? LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA, who JUST SO HAPPENS to be a massive superfan of The Kingkiller Chronicles and IS GOING TO BE THE CREATIVE PRODUCER OF THE TV ADAPTATION COMING OUT IN A COUPLE YEARS. THAT’S RIGHT. Not to mention that a song from Hamilton was actually inspired by a scene from The Name of the Wind - but I won’t say much more on that.

If you like fantasy and fun and badassery and character development and amazing friendships and romance and woke af writing?

READ THE KINGKILLER CHRONICLES.

Thank me later.

Me: there’s no plot twist or death that can shake me to my core anymore

Me, reading a Cassandra Clare book:

Because women should get to be the heroines of their own stories.

Talking about explanations for magic I love the one in Eragon the most because it’s just using the language of magic right and then you can do anything but in the book Eragon tries to bless a child by saying ‘may you be shielded from harm’ but instead he says ‘may you be a shield for harm’ and then the child ends up feeling all the pain of everyone around her and growing years older in just a few days and Eragon is just like ‘fuck I fucked up goddamn’ and that is one of the only times grammar was a life or death situation.

They’d be such gossips.

I love this very much

@elapuse look

I want to explore old abandoned homes with creaky floors and broken windows with you.

u all gonna die

I think the most calming thing about being a Christian is that one day Jesus is going to come back and he’s not going to take all this vain stuff with Him. He’s not going to take the money, he’s not going to take your GPA, he’s not going to take your resume, not your 401k or your trophies, he’s not going to take all the books and records, or the dirty dishes in the sink. All the messy stuff in your life is going to be gone and you won’t have to worry about it because it’s dust one day.

I think we live our lives as if the things we have are all we’re going to have and that it all is of the most importance, when really it’s just dust and to dust it will return.
