Useful tip (Not required, but helps people if they want to engage with your fandom!):


- It's best to make each fandom its own entry with its own title in the subject line! That makes it easier for people to find/see what you're promoting! Don't worry about 'spam', that is the entire point of this entry and you're using it exactly as intended.

Doctrine of Labyrinths - Sarah Monette

[jasmasson]

Title: Doctrine of Labyrinths - Sarah Monette

Media: Books

Approx length: 4 novels - Mélusine, The Virtu, The Mirador, and Corambis.

Where to find it: Amazon/booksellers/libraries but most conveniently, I imagine, Kindle. An important note; when written, the author wrote them as Sarah Monette, but she now writes under the pen name Katherine Addison and newer editions - and the Kindle versions - are found under that name.

What is it, in summary?: An epic story about Felix Harrowgate, a wizard, and his brother Mildmay, a thief and ex-assassin. Set in a secondary, medieval-type, world, with magic, intrigue and mystery. Felix was previously a whore, raised up to high class society, and the story begins with his previous life exposed and his lover, Lord Shannon, deserting him and him having to return to his previous ‘benefactor’ (master/abuser) and things all going rather horribly wrong from there…

What do you love about it?: Felix. I love Felix. He’s arrogant, superior and selfish, while simultaneously has cripplingly low self-esteem issues and immense bravery. I love his complex relationship with his brother Mildmay (for whom Felix has unrequited incestuous desires) and how they love and protect each other, rather despite everything!

What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Anything that focuses on the brothers’ relationship.

Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships?: No, all four books are one story.

Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence): Incestuous inclinations, homophobia, snobbery, violence, abuse, servitude, mental illness (magically invoked) and rape.
