This one took a whole month.

Adrian Tchaikovsky is an author that will give you density above all else, and this was no exception. I can see it not being for everyone, but I had a really great time with this
#readinglist #booklist #tyrantphilosophers

The cover art of Days of Shattered Faith, depicting the tiered city the book takes place in and around, with the patron frog god (yes frog god this is the best book ever) of the nation in his cave.

I am crying over how much a weird gas mask wearing man and his horrific giant centipede wife love each other.

If you’d like this inflicted upon you as well, I can’t recommend Days of Shattered Faith (but the whole trilogy really) by @aptshadow.bsky.social enough.
