I know I’ve been pretty inactive on the blog lately, mostly because I’m paying more attention to my Instagram…but, here’s something fun for you! Ha nope it’s not Batboys, I know you were thinking it, I KNOW IT. Kidding.
Anyway, these are the two main characters from K.D. Edwards’ Tarot Sequence series! I picked up his Last Sun a few months ago, just got the second book a couple of days ago, and I am hooked. It’s a genre-mashup fantasy-mystery-action story based on tarot Arcana that I can’t even describe and there’s tons of queer representation as well. The dialogue is what’s really drawing me, it’s HILARIOUS. Kind of reminds me of Midnighter banter, which is always a good thing!
HelloWinter’s Orbit fans! If you loved this book as much as I did and are looking for more books with a similar vibe… check out THE TAROT SEQUENCE by K.D. Edwards! Sci-fi and fantasy are two genres that go hand-in-hand and when you add the bonus layer of them being queer literature… it’s becoming less rare but still. Finding ones to love as much as I love this book and this series?
Often I struggle with modern fantasy and science fiction because there’s a lack of world building in them. Maxwell and Edwards both found the perfect balance between creating a complex plot and bringing to life three dimensional characters. There’s romance, yes, but it’s developed in a natural way that doesn’t neglect the needed development of a fully fleshed-out system. For Winter’s Orbit, that’s a realized and complex system of planets and politics; for TTS, it’s a unique magical system and complex political positioning. Both authors understand the importance of the mix of these things to create what I view as hopefully timeless pieces of literature.
So! If you loved Kiem and Jainan… I think you’ll fall in love with Rune, Brand, Addam, and the crew. And, The Hourglass Throne, the third installment in the series is out in just TEN DAYS (May 17, 2022). Click this link for ordering information.
