Spoiler Chat: The Lees of Laughter's End - 2nd Bauchelain & Korbal Broach Novella by Steven Erikson

my favorite of the broccoli and coral brooch novels is a crackpot trail not for the reason that you're probably thinking of but because the metatextual satire and i love that corresponds very directly to my type of humor

there is so much below the surface of the characters that it is revealed in these little tiny moments that you pick up on once you're looking past the absurdist humor or the horror or the or the dark comedy

even when you think of like something like twilight was a fascinating example to do a feminist literary analysis on for my undergraduates at the time
