Apparently, Brave New World of Toil and Trouble, the Austen fic I bemoaned not being able to put on my bookshelf two days ago… was self-published by the author in 2012. She renamed it Goodly Creatures, which is why I didn’t know about it, and I absolutely recommend buying it. Most of the negative reviews on Goodreads seem to be people thinking books should have content warnings, so, reminding people, this book contains rape and the aftermath thereof. It’s an incredibly good treatment of that, but it’s pivotal to the entire book, and there is no reading around it.
I just found out Tad Williams has dived back into the world of Memory, Sorrow and Thorn after over two decades and it’s like my body can’t contain what I’m feeling right now. I already have SO MUCH TO REEEEEAD….
