category is: book endings that made me feel like i swallowed a bag of bricks first pride month read done and it was 10 stars. CRY VOIDBRINGER is out this October and y’all really don’t wanna miss this one

My Review

An unflinching examination of war, revolution, and the complexities of freedom. Equal parts dark and tender, intimate and cosmic, CRY, VOIDBRINGER is an autopsy of an epic fantasy novel: bloody, incisive and illuminating.
For as common as it is for SFF to tackle themes of oppression and resistance, rarely does a book so candidly demand that its reader sit with their discomfort. This is not a book to "escape into" but fantasy that holds a mirror up to our own souls.
These are the kinds of stories l'd desperately like to see more of in today's SFF.
(Extra extra bonus points for the sapphic characters in this omfgggg)
I will read anything Elaine Ho writes next. You do not (!!!!) want to miss this one. Out Oct 2025.

the ghiblification slop on twitter is a really interesting phenomenon in the sense that it reveals something about the culture that creates it (twitter users/ai slop enjoyers), but fundamentally betrays a misunderstanding of the source material so profound you can really only laugh
