I JUST WROTE THE ANGRIEST TUMBLR POST ABOUT YOU GETTING ME INTO THIS SERIES, BECCA. YOU ASSHOLE. YOU'VE RUINED ME FOR OTHER BOOKS. AND BROKEN MY HEART REPEATEDLY. ALL THE ALIENS ARE GOING TO DIE!!!!!!
What a perfect, perfect series of books. This is everything I wanted in my youth and had to replace with Anne McCaffrey. I'm so glad it exists.
Race you to Language of Power?? Mine is supposedly coming in today or tomorrow but I'm out of the city until Sunday, so.
Janus is such a dick, and such a fabulist. It's sort of unfortunate that she did the "male bff who seems like an interesting but ultimately ideologically incompatible person turns out to be a traitor on the deepest level" thing twice; on the other hand, it's pointing up very effectively just how small and how rigid Rowan's viewpoint is, however admirable, that there are all these ways to act only for the good of those around you and act in love and still do horrific, incomprehensible things.
