The Habitation of the Blessed
The Habitation of the Blessed | Catherynne M. Valente
3 posts | 3 read | 4 to read
Brother Hiob of Luzern, on missionary work in The East on the eve of the 16th century, stumbles across a miraculous tree who's fruits are books... books which chronicle the Kingdom of Prester John. The Habitation of the Blessed recounts the fragmented narratives found within these miraculous volumes, revealing John's rise to power... from John's own viewpoint... from the viewpoint of his wife Hagia, and from the viewpoint of Hajji, a prayer-cantor who vowed to end John's illegitimate reign. World Fantasy Award nominee Catherynne M.Valente reimagines the legends of Prester John in this stunning tour de Force.

Here‘s the thing - do I want to stop reading Valente like she‘s the only writer on earth? Kind of. Can I? Not so much. I‘m in her headspace and I can‘t focus on anything else #readerproblems

Today's #feistyfeb prompt taught me a new word! I knew what #deckleedge was but not that it had a specific name (does that make any sense? I've had a long day). I love the look but find the pages hard to turn - I specifically remember being frustrated about that when I read this book.
