Isengrim Faoiltiarna

The Iron Wolf has visited us so far in the form of art~
One of the most difficult characters to draw for me... I redrawn the scar several times to convey the horror of the injury and, at the same time, leave a reminder of his former life and youth🍂
I curtsied in the direction of Iorveth: I left some facial features, but I placed the scar in a mirror. In my fanfiction (not yet available in eng :С), their stories are interconnected, and the figures will be intertwined more than once, soooo 👀🤫
In the story earlier in the chapters, I gave my interpretation of why one of the squirrels has a tattoo, respectively, and Isengrim should have it, according to the logic of fanfiction: I took as a basis twigs of wolfberry🌱 beautiful, but poisonous.

February TBR--
Tumblr media
It's Girl Scout cookie season AND I get to finally read the next book in The Empyrean series? It's going to be a good month. I'm also continuing on with the Sci-Fi series I started last month. Plus I'm diving into a translated High Fantasy novel that I found a few months back while browsing in a book store.
Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros (The Empyrean #2)-- Year two at Basgiath War College for Violet Sorrengail is destined to be more grueling and brutal than the first. Now the real training begins and Violet must contend with a new vice commandant who has made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is--unless she betrays the man she loves. But Violet knows the real secret hidden for centuries and nothing, not even dragon fire, may be enough to save them in the end.
Iron Wolf by Siri Pettersen (Vardari #1)-- This is a Fantasy Mystery built on a foundation of Norse Mythology about blood, desire, and addiction. Juva knows all about blood readers. Praised for their Sight, they are nothing but swindlers preying on people's fears. Born by blood readers herself, she knows only too well and has vowed never to become one of them. Then her family is threatened by vardari, the eerie lasting ones, who never age. Juva is entangled in a desperate hunt for the blood readers' legacy: a dark secret that once changed the world and may do so again. I don't know a ton about this one. It was translated somewhat recently so I'm excited to get to it. The second book in the series has come out but has not been translated yet so hopefully I'm not setting myself up for heartbreak here.
The Exiled Fleet by J.S. Dewes (The Divide #2)-- The Sentinels narrowly escaped the collapsing edge of the Divide. They mustered a few other surviving Sentinels but with no engines they have no way to leave the edge of the universe before they starve. Adequin Rake has gathered a team to find the materials they'll need to get everyone out.
The Fake Out by Stephanie Archer (Vancouver Storm #2)-- In this one, we follow a girl who decides to get back at her horrible ex but fake dating his rival. But fake dating hockey star Rory Miller is fun and addictive. He's sweet, funny, and protective. He teaches her to skate, sleeps in her bed, and convinces her to break her just-one-time hookup rule. He kisses her like it's real. Which makes her wonder if Rory was ever faking it to begin with. There are just so many things here to make my heart happy. I liked but didn't love the first book in this series so I'm excited to see how I feel about book two.
Floating Hotel by Grace Curtis (NetGalley)-- Welcome to the Grand Abeona, home of the finest food, the sweetest service, and the very best views the galaxy has to offer. All year round it moves from planet to planet, system to system, pampering guests across the farthest reaches of the Milky Way. The last word in sub-orbital luxury--and a magnet for intrigue. I'm excited to see what kind of take on a Sci-Fi Mystery we get with this one.
Cursed Cruise by Victoria Fulton and Faith McClaren (Horror Hotel #2; NetGalley)-- We rejoin our group of teen ghost hunters as they're invited to travel onboard a haunted historic cruise ship. They'll record onboard the RMS Queen Anne, a transatlantic ocean liner with a colorful past of violent deaths. I'm excited to enter this world again. It's been about two years since I read and enjoyed the first one.
Such a Lovely Family by Aggie Blum Thompson (NetGalley)-- This one almost didn't make it to this list before it posted. I got approved for it late in the day while at work yesterday. But if I've got the time I'm going to read it before the end of the month. The Calhouns are in the midst of hosting their annual party to celebrate the cherry blossoms being in full bloom when a brutal murder transforms the yearly gathering into a homicide scene and all the guests into suspects. The family has secrets and drama and I'm sure they're stupidly rich. Who doesn't want to read about rich people drama?
I didn't realize how many second books in series I'm going to be reading during the month. I'm glad I'm making progress in these series. I know a lot of people in the bookish spaces are focused on reading series this year.

I’ve been getting really into old zelda games recently, but for some reason i’m very, very dedicated to only playing as wolf link. So naturally I made sprite edits of 30 year old games I’ve never played before. And then I made my own artwork of the sprites based on the artwork in the manuals of each game. Which is how normal people play video games, I think? Here’s some sketches

Hot take about the horror genre, I wish we used werewolves as a metaphor for female rage, something that is hidden and repressed in order to be perceived as acceptable until it destroys you and everyone around you, until the blood dripping from your fangs and claws are yours and theirs, bound together. Especially when placed in a story where men act on their aggression, their anger.

I want to make a longer post about this someday but: I think Arya's TWOW arc is going to include her coming to terms with her identity as a Lady. This has been an ongoing conflict with her since her first chapter and I think her flowering in winds is going to mark a turning point. The theory of her having an apprenticeship with the courtesans holds a lot of weight and the idea of Arya going through puberty among a group of unconventional women she's fostered a positive relationship with is just too perfect. It would really have an impact on Arya reconciling her personal idea of what a Lady should be. There's also a lot that she could learn from them in terms of courtesies, communication, appearances, body-language, etc. that would elevate her current skill-set and ways her relationship with them could push the plot.
Not to mention she will undoubtedly reclaim her identity as Arya Stark, and her being a Lady is inseparable from that. Arya Stark is a Lady Stark and being a Lady is a social position, not a measure of how well someone preforms feminine tasks. She shouldn't have to relinquish her position because she doesn't fit patriarchal standards. That's not to say that she's ever going to be the perfect example of a traditional Lady but what I think will happen is that she becomes capable of playing the part. She plays several identities throughout the series but she's always been Arya underneath, so I think it's appropriate that she learns to adopt a "persona" that's part of her. Her remembering Ned putting on his "Lord's face" (+ the various examples of other characters being separate from their ruling persona) makes me think that Arya will be donning her "Lady's face" when she makes a return to Westeros.
#arya stark#asoiaf#twow speculations#Arya has been through so much traumatic shit and I think her flowering is going to bring up a lot of her self-esteem issues#I just really need her surrounded by kind older women when that happens so she can have some comfort#George saying her arc in braavos could be the plot of a YA novel?? definitely makes me think she's going to grow up a lot there#she's already one of the most mature characters so I think part of it's going to be her accepting her duty as a Stark Lady#she wants to help and protect people and the best way she can do that is if she has political power#She could learn that first hand in TWOW#possibly through her finding out about her marriage??? and meeting Jeyne in Braavos??#and before someone says it courtesans are so much more then sex work so I don't want to hear it#they are such a big part of Braavosi high life...they're cultured and connected with very important people#I just have so many thoughts on the subject cause I think her apprenticeship with them will serve multiple purposes#the faceless men and their plans...the iron bank...the sealord...It's all connected and I think her apprenticeship with them will kick off#the braavos plot and could mark the beginning of the end of her time with the faceless men and in braavosi#half a boy half a wolf pup -> half a lady half a wolf#I think her current skillset fits well and it's likely she'll learn even more in TWOW#Arya defining her own role as a Lady and becoming comfortable means so much to me

Book Review #12 of 2024--
Tumblr media
Iron Wolf by Siri Pettersen. Rating: 3.25 stars.
Read from February 18th to 21st.
I want to start out the review by stating that this is a book that originally came out in Norway (in Norwegian) back in 2020 and was translated to English in 2023. I found it over that summer and decided to give it a shot despite not having a lot of experience with translated works. I do want to give translated fiction a better shot than I have been so I picked this one up. It follows Juva who is raised by a blood reader and who doesn't want to get into that line of con work herself. She sees the lies and the effect it has on those desperate enough to fork over their last coin. But, after her mother passes, Juva is forced to face some dark secrets. Like the devil whose heart beats a rhythm against her own. Like the lasting ones and their strangle hold on their community. Like the lies we tell ourselves to make it through the night.
There were some moments when the translation was rough. You will never find me speaking down to someone who knows a second language well enough to translate a whole Fantasy novel. I just want to point out that it did pull me out of the story sometimes. There's one specific word that comes to mind and it's a moment where the narration should have said "spoken" and it said "spoked." Such a small thing when you consider what a bastard language English is. It just took a little something away from the experience at times. Otherwise, I think this book is so heavily plot focused (and lacks in so many other areas as a consequence of that) that this one book could be broken up into three if you fleshed out other aspects of the story. I wanted to connect to the characters but I really only liked one of them (it was the devil character because of course it fucking was). I also found that the lack of world building would throw me off. The settings were never really fully described either. At times, I would find that the layout of Juva's mother's house has to be completely different than what I originally pictured because of a plot point. Or a character would be blonde at the 50% mark when I was sure it never got stated and originally pictured them as brunette. I also didn't like the over sexualization of the narration...without any sex scenes? I mean, I read a spicy romance here and there so I can put up with some sex scenes. And yet? Rugen specifically had to mention sex almost constantly. Or the devil character talking about being ridden (sexually. obviously). Or Juva having sexual thoughts about the devil with no real emotion attached. That last one could just be a me thing. I wish we had seen a real connection between them if Juva's going to get feelings (even lusty ones) for the whole actual devil. But that's a matter of preference.
I did enjoy the lore and the magic here. It's built up from Norse mythology with some sprinkling in of other things that I really enjoyed. I wish we had gotten more from some side characters because they did really seem lovely. It's a band of men who started hunting wolves with Juva when her father passed away and they're all sort of sweet and avuncular to her. (Look who follows John Green's Tumblr. What a nerd.) I also do like what I've learned about the world and the magic even though I felt like we sacrificed a lot in the name of the plot.
Overall, it was good and a definite change of pace from what I normally read. I am at the point where I don't know if I'll continue on with the series when the next books are translated. Maybe some of the things I didn't like could get better with more page time. We'll have to wait and see.

Hey, there.
Just wanted to reiterate that Scott McCall was a VICTIM, and him initially wanting nothing to do with being a werewolf was NOT “whining”.
Peter was vile. Derek was not a good teacher. The bite was NOT a gift. Scott owed them nothing, least of all his gratitude.
There’s nothing “cool” about being attacked in the woods. There’s nothing “awesome” about having your choices and autonomy stripped. There’s nothing “fun” about being hunted. There’s nothing to “embrace” about being dragged into a conflict that has NOTHING to do with you.
Scott McCall was a victim, and y’all need help.
