After his house was stormed by a violent pro-Shah mob, Premier Mossadegh gave his last interview with celebrated reporter Marguerite Higgins. She asked about the rift, his stance toward monarchy in Iran, oil and the National Front.

Marguerite Higgins is another of the memory-holed women who had no little influence on her own times:

Another of the important right wing women of the 20th Century who had one of those influences on presenting events that gets left out is Marguerite Higgins. Who was one of the most famous women reporters of the early and mid 20th Century. Higgins was a conservative war correspondent who very avidly endorsed not just US military action but the conservative/Republican party line on the Cold War. Her reporting on WWII, Korea, and Vietnam, was all from that conservative viewpoint.

She died in 1966 of an illness contracted in being a roving frontline reporter during the Vietnam War.

@brambleberrycottage I read Vespertine! Saved most of it for the second long drive of my Christmas break, and enjoyed having it. :)

I liked it. The worldbuilding premises of "ghost problems" and "conscripted spirit warfare" felt very Jonathan Stroud, but I think I like Rogerson's style better. I...wasn't sure how I felt about the use of some Catholic aesthetics and vocabulary, but it WAS really cool to see a medieval-fantasy-world's religion actually make use of medieval cathedrals and stained glass and illuminated manuscripts and so on. A depiction of Fantasy Not-France that includes gothic cathedral spires?? It made the whole thing feel more grounded, unexpectedly. (Also, I appreciate that the Catholic-coded Fantasy Religious Orders aren't evil. On the whole.)

I like Artemesia, too, and her relationships with the people around her. She's got quite a bit in common with El Higgins in the "stubborn unhappy goodness" department! I would definitely read more about her. (...Although, after reading Artemesia and Muderbot and El relatively recently, I'm feeling an unexpected craving for a first-person narrator who enjoys being around people. Where are all the extroverts at :P)

More spoilery comments under the cut:

Poor revenant. :( I assumed it was going to end up as a Friend but I wasn't expecting the backstory.

Also, poor revenant for being handed a girl who is this bad at noticing her own needs. Very stressful.

Again, I really liked that the religious orders were caring and benevolent, and even the messed-up members of the structure like Leander and the Divine felt more like... people who had slipped through the cracks. Even with all the Dark Secret Backstory, it didn't feel like the tired old "organized religion as a corrupt institution" take.

Speaking of Leander! I DID guess pretty early, I think, that he wasn't evil, mostly because we keep getting glimpses of him looking less evil when he thinks no one's looking. Poor boy is just Very Stressed. I did not at all guess the Divine's deal, though.

I was excited when Marguerite showed up, because I could tell she was going to get Unexpected Depth, but the eventual conversation between her and Artemesia surpassed my expectations. I love all complicated sibling-adjacent relationships, and I think theirs qualifies by the end.

I also love the guards! And that the people in general so consistently look at Artemesia and see she's a hero—a refreshing approach to this sort of "rogue hero on the run" thing. But I especially love the Captain (even if I don't remember how to spell his name).

Also Priestbane! So glad she got her horse back.

This isn't exactly spoilery but: I really like the worldbuilding choices that feel like medieval Europe, as said above. It feels honest in a way a lot of medieval-ish aesthetic fantasies don't, though I couldn't quite pin down how.

Additionally, the aesthetic choices do a good job at making Artemesia Very Cool. Which I approve of. And I like the way Rogerson writes imagery, in general. It's just...pleasing to me.

My favorite scene might be down in the tunnels when she realizes the revenant is also a kicked goat. It feels like one of the biggest turning points, even though they'd been building friendship for a while, and brings together all the parallels between them in a way I really like.

I would love to see Artemesia run into her little brother in a sequel.

I am also staring at the spirit classification chart, very suspiciously, and I am thinking WHERE DO SUICIDES GO IN THIS.

Seriously, I kind of assumed the penitent was a suicide. But no, that cause of death isn't listed here at all... I am Eyeing This Omission With Interest.

Anyway, thank you again for this! :)

Is it weird that of his protege, Snyder has held so close to Tynion, but casts Bennet to the wayside? I mean, dude gets Justice League and Batman, and she’s stuck with statue elseworlds and YouTube tie ins.

Tynion seems to be the only one of that crop who broke out in a big way, Kyle Higgins never ended up a thing either (though that’s not a shame in remotely the same way as Bennett).
