The characters have matured since Books & Bone (except Larry), and the plot has gotten more epic, but the atmosphere is still cozy and inviting.
The Beautiful Decay is living (undead) proof that gripping epic fantasy doesn't have to be grimdark.
@tofuwabohu@wyrms.de i feel like ereaders should have a function for that built in; opening a popup with a description when tapping on a name or so. 🤔

Content warning trans hate mentioned, no spoilers
Margins and Murmurations by Kes Otter Lieffe centers trans, queer, disabled, elder people and sex workers. Thanks for the recommendation!
I'm ever thirsting for stories with older/elder female or genderqueer role models and feeling so grateful for two main characters that rock: Because of how they live their relationship, their way of living with nonhuman beings, their being active in community, struggles against the state, dealing with trauma - because of the way Ash and Pinar simply are.
I liked the story and the educational parts about what it means to constantly have to deal with trans-hate, but also the entertaining ones about queer animals or the ones about plant remedies, or what murmurations are.
Time travel and neurodiverse time concepts are brought together, thus opening my understandings of time.
It's one of those books that make it difficult to leave the story and that make me miss the the characters.

i saw the author of this book talking a lot about disability as a social construct in online videos, and so i thought that her book was about that.
but the synopsis kind of says otherwise.
as anyone read it and can tell me more?
or just straight up suggest books that actually talk about social vs medical disability?
