Summary
The Bardweave Trilogy is a semi-canonical, story-driven, angsty, slow-build-to-the-smut, romance with healthy doses of comedy and ensemble dynamics. PoV is half and half between Tav and Gale, with flashbacks, as well as lots of attention paid to non-ship characters and their interconnecting dynamics. Check the dang tags. <3
Some favorites from the comments:
- "You’ve captured their voices and mannerisms so well; even though it’s a story I know, it’s told from a fresh perspective."
- "Gale was my first romance and this is bringing me right back to the magic of that first playthrough."
- "The interwoven stories of Tav's revenge and Gale's love and loss is haunting and intriguing. And the romance is superb."
- "I laughed. And I cried, a lot. You are such a visceral writer, it's like you're just listening into their dialogue and inner thoughts and simply conveying it, it feels so incredibly REAL."
- "And now emotionally destroyed. Roll a D6 for emotional damage."
- "My heart has now not only been broken… but crushed into dust. And blown away into the Fugue Plane."
- "This series is gonna hold a special place in my heart. Beautifully done, 10/10, chefs kiss"Series
