Weaponized accountancy, the seduction of empire, and controversial twist endings! Discuss Baru Cormorant and her ongoing series of mistakes here. First order of business: should we put stuff from the second book (at least big reveals/plot developments) under spoilers? Consensus: YES
that would be preferable! i haven't read the second book yet, i haven't found a moment to emotionally Brace Myself about it
Please do! My library doesn't have an ebook license for the second book, so I have to make time to get out to the branch and pick up the dead tree version
So it's a couple days later and I'm still shook. Like, right now I was listening to a fanmix & knitting & thinking about Tain Hu and I just started crying. I have a LOT of feelings about this book & what it meant to me in how I relate to my orientation, but I honestly don't know how to put them into words well.
