Masar is an interesting case. He was born and raised on Braemin. He's half native Braemish and half ethnic jeveni (which is how he has a Braemish surname) and was raised by his jeveni grandmother.

In Nikkelo's case, "Rieve" is the name that was given to a particular geologic formation on Jeve. So Nikkelo's ancestors are "from" the place that had this geologic formation.

The "surname" in these instances refer to different things. In Effegen's case "Crost" is one of the first known family names of the Jeveni prisoner colonists who were put on Jeve.

Effegen ten Crost means Effegen of the Crost. Nikkelo sen Rieve means Nikkelo from the Rieve.

Oh, you are going deep into the lore here. Let me tell you a little bit. "Ten" "sen" and "ben" are all linking terms. Ten = "of the", sen = "from the" and ben = "by the"

Will I ever stop talking about how much I love THE KINDOM TRILOGY by @dr-bethany-jacobs.bsky.social? No. It's not like it's an unloved series, but I desperately need more people to read it and talk to me about it because it's top tier space opera and the fact it's a debut is mind-blowing.

Well, I guess that's overstating it a bit. A couple of years after six leaves the kinschool, they sneak back to see what happened to chono. They don't actually risk talking to her. But in my imagination, she has this sense that someone is there. And then six disappears again.

🤣 I know it's cruel to laugh but still. Does it help to know that in my head canons they are definitely reunited within a couple of years?

Wow! So glad you're liking it! Thank you so much!

I don't know who else here has read #thewarofart by Steven Pressfield but never has a book turned me off so hard, so fast.

It's not often that the middle book in a trilogy ends up being my favourite book in said trilogy, but I couldn’t put ON VICIOUS WORLDS by @dr-bethany-jacobs.bsky.social down. I adored the whole series, but this book in particular had me in a chokehold.

Vacation reading spree is underway. Already through the Kindom Trilogy by @dr-bethany-jacobs.bsky.social . Very, very good! Some fantastic characters and an interplanetary society that sucked me right in.

Definitely have to recommend the Kindom Trilogy sci-fi series by @dr-bethany-jacobs.bsky.social ! Titles in order are: - These Burning Stars - On Vicious Worlds - This Brutal Moon Some non-spoilery details on the first volume are at Kirkus Reviews.

The last fantastic novel recommendations I got were These Burning Stars by @dr-bethany-jacobs.bsky.social and Vile Lady Villains by @danaiwrites.bsky.social because they kept getting reposted on my twitter and Bluesky feeds. Please keep spamming your favorites on my timeline.

#HeadsUp: as noted by @galatfemme.bsky.social, These Burning Stars (The Kindom Trilogy Book 1) by @dr-bethany-jacobs.bsky.social is on US ebook sale for $1, so I got some copies for random giveaway. I believe I've given it out before, since I already have it, but haven't read it yet.

I’ve got to admit, I came to @dr-bethany-jacobs.bsky.social’s book looking for swashbuckling spaceships but got palace intrigue, revenge, intricate plots and a compelling “will they or won’t they” story that goes in a direction you won’t expect. I’m looking forward to the next one
