More and more I wish Earthsea had got the adaptation it deserved. An adaptation that loved and valued the incredible power of these books. An adaptation that captured the heart of Earthsea, it's gentle, stern atmosphere, it's passion and it's fire. And most importantly, an adaptation NOT JUST FULL OF WHITE PEOPLE. It's insulting.
Nowadays, fantasy adaptations are so key to bringing a fanbase and attention to older works. So this is my plea - read them! They're such incredible works of fiction, with POC mains and queer characters. If you're a fan of LOTR or WOT this is your jam. If you like Brandon Sanderson or James Islington, give it a go.
If they've passed you by, or you've never got round to reading them, this is your sign.
READ EARTHSEA

Vis: no one could ever figure out that I am the prince of Suss it is impossible. My backstory is rock solid.
Also Vis: openly admits he knows many dead languages, has the swordsmanship capabilities of the elite and shows off in front of the whole school, gets taken back to his home land with his friend and is having traumatic flash backs the whole time, admits to Idol that he is from Suss and spent time in the castle, is recognized by many of the people in Suss, names his fucking wolf friend DIAGO AFTER HIMSELF.

It’s page 57 and I’m here to say I love him and his inner sass.

anyone else bawl their eyes out when Vis sat in a tavern in Suus one last time and the owner silently served him a king’s meal as a way to acknowledge that their prince is alive and not alone and Vis finally got the ounce of closure he needed to continue his fight???
Yeah me too

when you think about it, it is rather insane that Vis definitive trait that makes him unlike everyone else is simply having a moral backbone

Actually it should be illegal for authors to write book series whose title is one normal english word and have it be extremely good but not very popular. Do you want to curse me to struggle with tags???

“i’m going to make sure you burn for this”
has left me crying at 2 am because rotting gods what the hell just happened in this book?
i couldn’t put it down, i had to finish this and it’s 2.30 am and i have a work event tomorrow and i need all the energy to socialise all day but i couldn’t stop reading
the last part took me by surprise some spoilers under the cut
why why did callidus die WHY COULDNT HE LIVE AND HELP OVERTHROW THE HIERARCHY
istg if something happens to Eidhin IM NOT GONNA BE OKAY
also i don’t believe emissa thought vis was past saving nope nope nope
I ALWAYS KNEW CAEROR WAS ALIVE OR SOMETHING OF THAT SORT and it why did he smile fondly at the mention of veridius being principalis
i wanted to have a vis and ulcisor moment in the end after vis risked his life multiple times
HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO SURVIVE UNTIL THE NEXT BOOK COMES OUT

Anyway the only thing you need to know about Vis Telimus is that his first reaction to seeing the great Catenan Academy was say that it had small dick energy. In a dead language btw.

Caribe's Fantasy TBR - Part 2
The 2023 favourites that are on my backlog..in this very specific category :D

Really looking forward to reading these! My partner is a high fantasy reader so I'll probably end up knowing the stories for these second hand if my partner gets to them before me. That's not a problem though, I'll forget the story 72 hrs anyway and I won't feel guilty about not reading them immediately lol.
