Welcome to Litsy!

I loved this so much!!! Super fitting end book to the trilogy and very much worth the read! There‘s so much stuff packed in these three books that I don‘t even know where to begin- just read and enjoy!

Great finish to this trilogy. I thoroughly enjoyed this and hope the adaptation makes it to the states.
Jared and Maggie, both unforgettable characters.

I LOVED this trilogy. Usually not so into fantasy, but the parallel fantastical world + BC was so good. Highly recommend

Holy rollercoaster of a trilogy, Batman! The sarcasm & wit was the high point for me in all three (seriously, how does Robinson not have a Leacock medal?) with the plot of the second being my favourite of the three. This was a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy and I especially enjoyed the Epilogue-ish, which felt like the freeze frames at the end of a movie telling you where everyone ended up.

Heads up - lots of triggers throughout the series

I bailed on my last book under the Life‘s Short clause and switched to RETURN OF THE TRICKSTER. So far so good.

I also ate dumplings. Gotta love dumplings.

What an awesome finale to this trilogy about Jared, an Indigenous young adult who learns he's the son of a trickster. I love how Robinson manages to fill the book with wonder and magic while addressing dark topics, body horror, and harsh realities. Jared is a wonderful character (his superpower is both being annoying and being incredibly tenderhearted). There is a great cast or magical and non magical Indigenous characters surrounding Jared too.

"Your heart is an old safe. You pry the rusty doors open, fearing it is empty, but your love is still there and you set it free."

A satisfying conclusion to Jared‘s journey.

Hello Lovelies!

Did a curb side pick up from my local yesterday to collect my newest acquisitions. Yay!

This trilogy!!!

These books were like cooking. Son of a Trickster: gather your ingredients. Chop, prep, sneak some bites. Throw em into a pot and turn on the heat.

Trickster Drift: did I mention this is an instant pot recipe? We know things are cooking. We know it's gonna be good. Also there are ghosts in your food. Timer beeped hit that pressure release valve OH CRAP

Return of the Trickster: Eat a very disturbing, hilarious, delightful feast.

"It's okay!" Wee'git said. "It's just a transdimensional being that's gotten stuck in the liminal space between our universe and his. Hers. Theirs. I'm not really an expert on octopus genders."

Honestly cannot remember the last time I loved a book this much.

Holy SHIT I love these books. I hope Eden Robinson keeps writing the Trickster series forever. She is a gift.

Can Jared stay sweet, sober and committed to nonviolence no matter what horrors he encounters? He‘s one of over 500 offspring of his trickster father, but he‘s still one-of-a-kind. Who else has internal organs who run from his own body? This thrilling conclusion to a trilogy is a joyride with vicious coy-wolves, helpful inter-dimensional fireflies, otter humans, a gentle sasquatch, and an evil ogress. #Indigenous literature like none other.

Actress Kaniehtiio Horn (from the Kahnawake Mohawk reserve near Montreal) reads the tagged audiobook. There are a few minor mispronunciations that may have been due to haste, but I enjoyed her reading performance overall. (A care-a-fay of coffee [carafe]; a bare-d owl [barred].)

Hot women, in his experience, did not follow him around, flirting. They were either family, or they wanted to kill him. Usually both.

“There‘s a completely gratuitous sasquatch scene.”

These beauties both release on March 2! Anyone else counting down?
