  2. “Of course, if she were slain in Death, her body would die in Life as well.” Ok Mr #GarthNix I’m gonna have to stop you right there,

  3. Meanwhile, #GarthNix is an author I've been vaguely aware of, but never read before, as apparently most of his stuff is YA?

    Except he's just put out a collection of Lieber-inspired #SwordsandSorcery stories in a pike & shot era setting, and that kind of stuff is EXACTLY my Jam.

  4. Reading The Sinister Booksellers of Bath by Garth Nix. I just came across the line "You won't have to hold a hose or anything".

    Nix is Australian and that line will resonate with all Australian readers after PM Morrison's infamous "I don't hold a hose" in response to the disastrous bushfires in 2019.

    I love it when you come across little things like that in books which authors have slipped in.

  6. So something #weird happened: #GarthNix is your bog-standard cis white dude #fantasy-author writing #ya in faux-medieval Europe with only white people in it.

    That is until his newest book where *literally* (almost) everybody is black or brown (or "olive-skinned" 🤢). And #lesbian. What the heck happenend?!

    (I mean, should not be surprised, I'm a cis white dude who's been drawing white guys in faux-medieval Europe for the longest time but I still did not see that coming.)
