The Quartet That Started It All

As followers of this blog will note, this is not actually the quartet that started it all for me, but it DID launch author Tamora Pierce's career in the 1980s, and Alanna remains absolutely beloved among Pierce's heroines. Let's talk the Song of the Lioness Quartet.

In a classic case of "if I can't do this as a girl, then I'll do this as a boy and I have a handy twin brother to go full Twelfth Night with," Alanna of Trebond begins The First Adventure by dressing as a boy to train as a page in Tortall's royal court. This book introduces all our main characters and establishes Alan the page amongst his peers and Alanna as she finds herself and her place in chivalry.

One of the other amazing things about Alanna's story overall is that she begins it absolutely terrified of her own magical gift. Her arc includes learning to work with her magic rather than to fear it, and that's a twist on magic users that I really appreciated. We often get overly confident magic users--indeed, we'll get TWO of them later in the series--but it's rare that we get magic users who are fully aware of their powers and are still absolutely terrified of them. So of course, the story and the world and Pierce herself keep throwing Alanna into situations where she has no choice but to develop and use her gift. It's so, so good. This first book covers Alanna's page years, and we move into her squire years in book two.

In the Hand of the Goddess really expands on Alanna's key relationship with Prince Jon on Conte, Duke Roger of Conte, and Geroge Cooper. Alanna moves into a wider world of adult politics and stakes in this book. From being able to defeat an older, stronger, and more experienced opponent in a duel to developing her healing skills when a wound puts her out of commission during a war, Alanna cements her skills, connections, and position in society. This culminates with unmasking Roger as an attempting regicide and the accidental reveal of her gender.

This book is really, really good, and extends Alanna's childhood fear of magic to her fear of Roger specifically in a really natural, logical way. I could say more about the details, but these two books have an episodic vibe to them, so I won't spend too much time exploring every single key plot event.

The Woman Who Rides Like a Man sees Alanna spending her first year as a knight in the desert, with a Bazhir tribe. She becomes their shaman by way of self-defense; she murders their first shaman when he tries to murder her for "being unnatural." Then it falls to Alanna to train three magic users for the tribe, and this is where we see more nuance into how different magic users relate to their powers, from sheer hubris to fear to "this is just part of me, let's do this." It's a phenomenal experience for Alanna, and she learns as much from her students as they do

Book three also sees Jonathan bitching to hell and back about having to be king, which is not a great look, and it's one Alanna calls him on. He spends most of the book alternating between pitching a hissy fit, begging Alanna to marry him, and training to take over as Voice of the Tribes. The interesting thing here is that Alanna refuses to marry Jon. He is trying to fit Alanna into his own fairy tale, and she very much goes "That isn't our relationship, I can't do that. We aren't meant to be like that, and that's ok." If I could inject that lesson into humanity's collective head, I would. It's well done and it's great.

Lioness Rampant picks up on Alanna's travels after she leaves the Bazhir, and eventually sees her return to Corus with a magical artifact to help secure Jonathan's position as king.

There's also the teeny tiny complication that Alanna's twin brother, Thom, has resurrected Duke Roger. Absolute chaos ensues, and Roger almost manages to take out the entire court during Jonathan's coronation. Nobody should have to kill an evil sorceror twice, but Alanna did.

If you want to dive into Tamora Pierce's Tortall Universe, starting with Alanna is absolutely a good choice. These books hold a very soft spot in my heart, and they're never not engaging.

Been trying to avoid Cooking Crush spoilers on my dash but I just had to go watch the opening scenes at least because I had a feeling the subs I just saw on a gifset couldn't convey a pun going on and- Yup! That's exactly what's happening lol

Disclaimer: not a native speaker, still learning 🙏

ขอหอมหน่อยได้ไหม /khaaw haawm noi dai mai/

What Prem is actually saying: Can I have the onion?

What Ten thinks he's saying: Can I have a kiss?

You see, หอม /haawm/ here can have two meanings of different etymological origins: หอม of Khmer root means onion or allium while หอม of Proto-Tai root means fragrant, to smell sth. pleasant, and - by extension of a sniff kiss - to kiss.

หอมที่มือไง /haawm thee meuu ngai/

Prem: The onion in your hand!

Prem, according to Ten: A kiss on your hand!

The fact he barely questions this stranger's request 😂 While Prem is like What a weirdo lol

#cooking crush #thai bl #gun attaphan #off jumpol #offgun #local woman harps on about linguistics #this show is gonna be a fun ride huh?#we'll see if i'll have time to watch the entire episode before the next one airs

I won't make any grand, sweeping statements about it, but I do think taking public transit has and continues to make me a better person than I would be otherwise.

#on the bus today a gentleman in front of me gave up his seat so an elderly couple could sit together #the bus driver said ''oh!'' in a decidedly surprised and pleased way when I thanked him for the ride #at one of the stores I stopped in the woman behind the counter almost slipped in some snowmelt #and I was one of three people reaching for her; trying to catch her #I just think it's very easy to get lost in your head; I live alone I work remotely most of the time #it's important sometimes to be reminded that people move through the world gently and well.#celestial emporium of benevolent knowledge
