King's Blood Four, Necromancer Nine, Wizard's Eleven, The Song of Mavin Manyshaped, The Flight of Mavin Manyshaped, The Search for Mavin Manyshaped, Jinian Footseer, Dervish Daughter and Jinian Star-Eye by Sheri Tepper. Re-reading for comfort. There are a lot of ideas I like in these earlier books and I like reading books about women and their choices. I was particularly struck by Mavin explaining rape to Mertyn and how she covered some of the complexity of the social dynamic.
( Cut for potentially triggering quote about sexual assult and food )
The Book of Three, The Black Cauldron, The Castle of Llyr, Taran Wanderer and The High King by Lloyd Alexander. Re-reading also for comfort, my brain is tired. Gentle, heroic and probably very good for young-ish boys. Darn, this was one of the series I loved when I was a child and now I read it and it still has many fine qualities but it’s so obviously a story about boys, as if their story is the only one worth telling.
