↳  The Singing (2008, Alison Croggon)

is there such a thing as books of pellinor fanart

Alison Croggon, The Naming (Book One of Pellinor)

When you come late to a series and all the covers have been changed so you have to order from used book sites so you can get the matching set 😑😂😂

Anyways, I’m halfway through the first book in Alison Croggon’s Pellinor series and already really enjoying it. Any other fans out there?

these passages drove me insane

another thing i like about the pellinor books is that people fall in love with bad eldritch beings all the time and don't feel bad about it.

I wanna see the books of pellinor turned into a movie series SO BADLY

Even now, ten years later, people are still using the phrase "father figure" to describe the most polite, equal, and respectful romantic relationships in the history of YA fiction, and it's just like???! Way to tell on yourselves that you have weird relationships with your fathers.

I blocked them already, but someone used "father figure" to describe Maerad's emotions for Cadvan from the Books of Pellinor?!

I just finished rereading The Naming and never once did Maerad ever think of him as a father figure, and anyone who could think of their relationship like that after reading the scene right after the council meeting in Norloch is deluding themselves.

It was even worse ten years ago actually, when I had to be blasted by pornographic content of a 15-year old male Shounen hero and his mentor figure, while also being told that a girl and her canon love interest had a "father/daughter" relationship, because Tumblr pretends to like healthy, loving romance while actually having no idea what that looks like.

Like, having read the Books of Pellinor right after Eon and Eona (the Dragoneye Duology? Kingdom Of The Celestial Dragons? Did that series ever even have a proper title?) was an awakening, a breath of fresh air!! Eona's choice of love interests were between a bloodthirsty rapist and a man who attempted to murder her by choking her after she did something he perceived as disrespecting his manhood. (She got with the attempted murderer. I was pretty upset, but at least the other guy was dead.)

The worst that happens between Maerad and Cadvan was a few arguments, where both of them have both good and bad points, and extreme emotional trauma caused by tragic life stories.

Maerad and Cadvan are still the best romance in YA fiction, and if that's the kind of relationship y'all have with your dads, I'd be a little worried.

Me making memes in 2022 for a book published in 2005???? It’s more likely than you think
