Day 3 – Your favorite series

Gotta be [livejournal.com profile] aberwyn's Deverry Cycle. Fantasy novels in which there is an internally consistent magical system, and in which we see the (realistic) material means by which Fantastical Adventuring takes place in a technologically less-advanced society -- and see that society develop socially in response to technological advances and human(/elf/&c.) migration? Oh yes please. Also all those 'it's a good story/ies' and 'I like things that fit together in a well-woven non-linear fashion' sorts of reasons, but mostly, I'm just a huge sucker for consistency.

Speaking of which, a special mention for a special sort of non-consistency that also works magical wonders has to go to the series/book-in-4-parts The Knot-Shop Man, by David Whiteland, who is also responsible for the best thing on the internet.

In other news, I have been in utter despair feeling sad about a number of Big Important Things going on in the world, like this and this and these (and reactions thereto). But I guess talking about books I like has made me feel a little better? So maybe I should get off the internet and go bury my head in the sand A Game of Thrones? Guess so. Also on the agenda for tonight: sleep!
