Seventhblade
Seventhblade | Tonia Laird
1 post | 1 read
For readers of N.K. Jemisin and Rebecca Roanhorse, a fast-paced, anti-colonial action-adventure fantasy that explores twisted power dynamics and the effects of settler colonialism After the murder of T’Rayles’s adopted son, the infamous warrior and daughter of the Indigenous Ibinnas returns to the colonized city of Seventhblade ready to tear the streets asunder in search of her son’s killer. T’Rayles must lean into the dangerous power of her inherited sword and ally herself with questionable forces, including the Broken Fangs, an alliance her mother founded, now fallen into greed and corruption, and the immortal Elraiche, a powerful and manipulative deity exiled from a faraway land. Navigating the power shifts in a colonized city on the edge and contending with a deadly new power emerging from within, T’Rayles risks everything to find the answers, and the justice, she so desperately desires. Loaded with complex characters and intricately staged action, and set in a fragmented, fascinating world of dangerous magics and cryptic gods, Seventhblade is a masterful new fantasy adventure from a bright emerging Indigenous voice.

I reheated my lemon garlic chicken in the air fryer and now it‘s the same colour as the example photo in DELICIOUS TONIGHT. No filter necessary! It‘s a miracle!

Between cooking, eating, and manual labour, I hit 70% with SEVENTHBLADE. While I appreciate a lot of what Laird does here, the first 25% or so felt like a prologue, and that‘s made it tough for me to click with the book. I‘ll finish it, but I dunno if I‘ll jump on sequels. #audiocooking
