#theredscholarswake — Public Fediverse posts

I ordered some cards with the @dungeonmistrix art. I should have them at Eastercon as well as the French events I'm attending this spring (Ouest Hurlant and something else I can't talk about right now!).

Get your lesbian space pirates here!

Just finished „The Red Scholar's Wake“ by @aliettedb and it was fantastic (as always)! I love it so much! 😻

Go read it!

(The book also featured a chapter from the upcoming book „A Fire Born of Exile“ coming out this autumn, I can't wait! ^__^)

The first new book I discovered through Mastodon was #theRedScholarsWake (and hence the first new author for me was @aliettedb).

Now the book is in my hands! I just have to finish the book I am currently reading and then I am ready to dive in.

Though waiting for the book, I jump started my adventures in the Xuya universe with The Tea Master and the detective.

Hahhahaa The Red Scholar's Wake is on the sapphiclitbot account on the bird site. My little book has arrived!

Alt text: a post from user @sapphiclitbot that says "As the bots slid downwards, further than Xích Si’s arms could reach, Rice Fish shivered — and laid her hand on Xích Si’s lips, gently pressing with the delicacy of a kiss.

Aliette de Bodard, The Red Scholar's Wake"

It's midnight and I just finished reading "The Red Scholar's Wake" by @aliettedb and can't recommend it enough! Spent the past few hours immersed in it because I just had to see it all the way through. So many feelings!

I'm gonna miss all these characters, damn it! But at least I can already pick up other books set in the same universe.

So not only is The Red Scholar's Wake a TikTok favourite, it's also mentioned in the same breath as Peter Beagle's The Last Unicorn.

If you need me, I'll be under the bed hyperventilating.

A quick reminder The Red Scholar's Wake is out and that I'd love if you got a copy/recommended it to all your friends/posted a review on social media--word of mouth is one of the prime drivers of selling books and I could really use some help.

Ahhhhh The Red Scholar's Wake in the Guardian!
"Beyond the love story, there are more traditional space opera goings-on: power struggles, political manoeuvring, betrayals and discoveries, and many incidental pleasures provided by the detailed, vividly realised settings."

Just finished #TheRedScholarsWake by @aliettedb and holy hell what a great read!

If you've read and enjoyed The Red Scholar's Wake, would you leave a review ? Or consider recommending it to a friend. Books live and die by word of mouth and it'd be really helpful. #spaceopera #sf #sff #romance #theRedScholarsWake #LesbianSpacePirates #lesbian #sapphic

I would like to present the ABSOLUTE BEST SUBTITLE to a review EVER.
It is PERFECT and also I laughed so hard.

Thank you so much
