I finished The Hands of the Emperor by Victoria Goddard. I've seen complaints that MC is a bit too perfect, and I can see why that could be said. But... holy cow was it nice to read about someone competent not making stupidly bad choices. The relationships between the characters were so enjoyable. I would have liked having many of them as friends.

Slow paced with a lot of dialogue, I'm almost surprised I enjoyed this book as much as I did. Politics and deep friendships carry it well

@Contrariwise I'm looking forward to reading the sequel, but I am reading something else first to break it up

I should be working more on the next part of this fanfic, but instead I've posted the second part (not really a clear Part 2, because I veer off into a flashback that serves as a really good standalone story) on my Neocities site! I still need to make an actual index page for these...

@trixter I read almost exclusively fantasy and sci fi. I feel like it's getting just ...less exclusive, in a good way. Less epic cishet white male. More diversity, different stakes. Cozy fantasy is a lovely growing niche. I think the world going like it is has resulted in more people wanting fantasy that's a lighter escape rather than the traditional hero's journey.
