Got an early birthday/Christmas present from mum 💚

The Black Magician Trilogy was my favourite as a teen, and I'm so happy to have these beautiful special editions ❤️🥺

I don't think there is a feeling quite like returning to a book series that defined and saved you once upon a time. That it still feels utterly familiar, as if it hadn’t been years since you last picked it up

Day three after finishing the trilogy. My mourning for Lorlen continues

Gotta love books making you sad for a character that never existed XD

I really love the BMT-Fandom over at ao3. Everyone is so grown up an nice and cheering everyone making you just feel good. Also all the new fanfic’s are so good! All these little details…

But maybe that’s the perk of writing in a Fandom that’s old and not to popular- everyone is grown up and the people sticking to it just have read the books so often they can’t write something OOC.

(After remembering how long it had been since I’ve read the books the first time I am now feeling old myself)

Trudi canavan books are criminally underrated

The black magician trilogy (and sequels) has banger world building, plot and characters (two gay men and one wlw couple (im not sure what their labels are , probably bi and lesbian))

The age of 5 is my favourite, its got a really cool concept and explains the lore without that much expo dump I dont think. The main character is also got a girlboss for reasons I cannot say due to spoilers.

Millieniums rule is my least favourite but it still bangs, its got a bisexual guy in the last book, one of the main characters is a dark skinned girlboss and the other character is in love with a book?? It makes sense i prommy

Warring with being mad that dannyl and tayend never even kissed on page and loving the fact that they are one of only 2 couples to say they loved each other

#I’d like to hope it’s because this was originally published in 2003 so they had to be careful what they put in terms of gay people but even #so in one of the first chapters of the high lord dannyl called tayend his lover then we never see any action that speaks to it but all the #straight couples get a fade to black sex scene … #idk I can see why it worked out this way but to say I love you and not have even kissed in the book I’m #guess I’m gonna be reading a lot of fanfic to make up for this lol #the black magician trilogy #trudi canavan #kiera talks books

🌻 Sunny Reading Tag 🌻

Thank you for the tag @yourneighborhoodbibliophile

🔥 favourite book

Since I always say Le Pacte des Marchombre, I'm gonna change it up a bit and say: The Black Magician Trilogy. I need to read them again, it's been ages but they had a bit impact on me.

🌾 tropes that make you go "asfgrthgj"

I like the "opposite attract" trope but I might be biased because of my favorite ship (though I like it outside of romance too). And I like it when a villain goes good and vice versa.

🍂 comfort book

The Lightning Thief, I think. It's a quick read and I just love Percy so much, the beginning of his journey just warms my heart.

⚡ death in a book you would take back

I don't know if I actually would because all the deaths I remember served a very specific purpose in the story... Except for that death at the end of Crooked Kingdom. That one was just unnecessary. But if we're talking feelings, there are some deaths in Le Pacte des Marchombres that hit me hard every time.

🥠 book you wish you could read again for the first time

Iron Widow, just for the rush of absolute glee I felt seeing Zetian's rage and general unhinged-ness. A friend is reading it and sending me her reactions live and it's the best, I'm almost jealous of her for reading it for the first time...

Tagging @profiterole-reads, @agardenandlibrary, and @therefugeofbooks, sorry you've probably been tagged already but anyways.

Lorlen is a absolute drenched cat of a man. A poor little meow meow without the crimes. Everytime I reread it my fondness for him grows stronger.

I read a fantasy book series called The Black Magician Trilogy by Trudi Canavan. It primarily follows a female protagonist, but somewhere in the second book it also starts adopting the viewpoint of a male character in the story, Dannyl, and his interactions with another man who is attracted to him and is a "lad" (the admittedly hilarious term for a gay man in the world).

This intrigued me because male-male attraction had never featured in any of the other dozen or more fantasy series I had read. I couldn't put my finger on why I was so absorbed into this little side-plot at the time, but now it's clear I was in the desert of heteronormativity and craving queer media and stories wherever I could find them. The character Dannyl originally presents as straight, politely rejecting the attraction of the other man while also sympathizing with his plight (as Dannyl himself had been teased along similar lines in school). However, it turns out that Dannyl had actually been subconsciously using his magic to suppress his homosexual attraction to avoid ridicule and persecution, and he only realizes this after a dreadful ordeal leaves him drained of all his magic. I had barely seen any portrayals of the psychological toll of being in the closet, let alone one in a fantasy world, and this really stuck with me.

Dannyl in the end decides to accept who he is and be with the man he loves, and I think this was also one of the first times I can recall a gay love story being celebrated as opposed to mocked or, at most, briefly acknowledged. I think it was a subtle gay awakening for me, opening my mind to the possibility of happiness and love in non-heteronormative relationships.

The problem with being fascinated by magic systems too much is that you

A) can’t answer the questions because you don’t know more than the books

B) run the risk of becoming a mad magic scientist/scholar because you Need To Know

This post came about because I thought about how CPR might work on magicians killed by black magic in the Black Magician Trilogy (Trudi Canavan, love her stories) and if by putting some energy back into them with CPR, they would live again?

I fear becoming a mad scientist in that world with a Thief friend at my side 😊

A nice thing this month was receiving the Illumicrate Exclusive editions of The Black Magician Trilogy by Trudi Canavan! They look so nice, and I love the author’s paintings. It’s a been a beloved series for me since 2004, and has warm fandom memories. I’m glad to have it in a fancier version. 🥰

A while ago, *I know* that there were sketches for TBM by Trudi Canavan herself. Like characters, buildings and so on. And now I can't find them! But I know that they must exist somewhere....

Please send help.

one of my biggest fears is that "booktok" gets its grubby little hands on any books written by trudi canavan. i know its very pretentious blah blah blah but if a book has the word tiktok anywhere near it i wont touch it.

#trudi canavan #i hate seeing books brought down into simple tropes #you're looking for ao3 tags not book concepts #booktok hate #the black magician trilogy #the magician's guild

The deliciousness of dannyl being jealous and possessive over tayend’s possible suitors and not realising why because despite the rumours he’s not clocked that he’s gay and in love with tayend

#and all the hints tayends giving him about the ‘special someone’ ugh I love it #this tripe is excellent the complete obliviousness to his own feelings while getting increasingly attached to tayend is just *clenches fost* #the black magician trilogy #trudi canavan #kiera talks books
