Curious because my school made me read these and most of my family aren't familiar with the majority of them, nor are my friends.

#thinking back on these some of them were pretty dark #and I feel like. I don't remember super well but I think at least half had sad endings #the shadow club #island of the blue dolphins #jade green #jade green book #the green book #the pigman #required reading #batty speaks #poll

I want to stay optimistic, but I don't have much faith that the HOTD writers will go through with any of the messages in the Dance aside from misogyny. Obviously, misogyny plays a big role in the Dance because it is the means to and end for the Greens, but the way the show focuses on this to favor Rhaenyra's claim and rule and this sort of diminishes the complexity of the story. By making it so that one side rightful, righteous, chosen by some divine powers, etc., etc. and one side that is perverse and corrupted and only there for greed, it takes away from one of the most important lessons in the Dance: Targaryens are not a divine superior race that should be exempt from the rage of common men that suffer at the cost of them.

(Also, ik ambition was a major motivator for the Greens in the books, but the books didn't try to frame Rhaenyra's right to the throne as God-given)

You might have already guessed, but the part of the dance I anticipated the most was Targaryens who perceive themselves to be divine and superior take the realm to shit fighting over a throne that neither of them actually deserve. They fight at the cost of everything and lose everything for a throne that neither of them keep for long because they are both inadequate rulers that rely heavily on their respective councils. When they make decisions on their own, their nearly equal incompetence shows because Aegon's choices are emotional and stupid and Rhaenyra's are paranoid and stupid. These are the people that cause the death of the dragons.

It feels like the show is trying to appeal to those stans that bend over backwards to defend their fave tyrants and believe the throne is a rightful possession of the Targaryens.

#this is not me dismissing misogyny #i acknowledge that its important #i just think making rhaenyra a divinely chosen ruler that was unfairly usurped doesnt do the narrative any favors #this is one of those posts where you can tell which characters i favor😭#alicent hightower #anti targaryen #team green #pro team green #most pro team green post ive made actually #aegon ii targaryen #targtowers #also aegon chose to usurp the throne for his and his familys life in the books #whereas he ran away in the show #and aegon was introduced to the story as a child rapist as per mushrooms tales??#thats another post tho #i dont claim to be morally right btw #greens are my guilty pleasure😞#especially my glorious emerald jade adamite malachite nephrite queen and pookie bear snookums

read the green bone saga this week and i’m just saying. if you want an in-depth political fantasy mafia thriller (yes all of those words apply) set in a post colonial nation that is navigating an unsure global political position and the potential exploitation of its culturally significant resource that simultaneously explores the bonds between family and how they can take different shapes in the wake of loss and love and life, with brilliantly developed, fleshed out characters and realistic pacing (both in world and in the actual delivery of the story). i HIGHLY recommend.

#truly even the characters who do some hateable things are difficult to hate #everyone makes horrible terrible choices but they are all so sympathetic and understandable #i was STRESSED reading these books i tell you #my only comment is i would’ve actually liked to see the last book spread into two books just bc so much happens and i think some of the #characters could’ve used the additional time to be developed and for us to get to know them a little better but ult i have no real complaint #also i wish it was gayer but that’s that #i was really wowed by these books and i read a LOT of fantasy and i don’t like a lot of it so. trust this is a weighty recommendation #fonda lee the woman that you are <3 #the green bone saga #jade city #jade war #jade legacy

I simply think Kaul Shae and Ayt Mada, Pillar of the Mountain, should have a homoerotic toxic lesbian rivalry with a body count in the thousands

Her brother laughed a little. “Ah, Shae, if you decided to betray me, what could I do? What’s the point of life if you can’t even trust your own kin?” He kicked her foot under the table, a teasing, childish gesture. “For you to hand my head over to the Mountain, you must really hate me. I must be such a terrible brother that I’d deserve to die. So there was nothing to be done about it.”

- Jade City, Fonda Lee
