Book Log: Queens at War
Jan. 18th, 2026 12:33 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
scaramoucheQueens at War is the last of Alison Weir's medieval English queens series, and a c-c-c-combo breaker after Conquest, Crusade and Chivalry. Surprisingly her book also covers five queens: Joan of Navarre, Katherine of Valois, Margaret of Anjou, Elizabeth Widville and Anne Neville; when I thought she'd end with Elizabeth of York, but maybe this last book was getting long enough as it is, plus she'd already written a book about that Elizabeth.
Anyway, I had a good time! Which is surprising because I'm super familiar with the Cousins War and a lot of this book was a rehash, though funnily enough it's because of Weir that I started calling it that over the War of the Roses, but Weir took pains within this book to make clear that Cousins War is also modern fashionable terminology and War of the Roses is also fine as a term, actually. There's also some new opinions on Weir's side, I feel, compared to her much-earlier book about the York vs. Lancaster feud, and I feel she's much kinder to Margaret of Anjou even while detailing the many, many things she did wrong. The tragedy of Margaret, IMO, is that if she had a strong husband she would've been such a successful and widely respected queen, but Henry VI being weak is what forced Margaret to step up, plus her unfamiliarity with English politics and prejudices just made it so much worse.
I think because having the book prologue with the tail end of Edward III's reign really sets the stage for everything that happens with Henry Bolingbroke and Richard II, and then the fallout with the next generations once the glory of Henry V's era fades. Once again I marvel that Henry V is regarded so highly when none of his successes stuck for long, and it was because of all of that that his son Henry VI inherited huge debts and a fractious government. I also enjoyed keeping track of where Katherine of Valois was after her first husband died as she's the connection between the Tudor and the Beaufort line, and poor Joan of Navarre, marrying in but having no impact on the family line, while Mary de Bohun does have impact but doesn't get to be queen at all.
Two general observations in wrapping up, one is that Weir does give Elizabeth Widville (Weir's choice of spelling in this book) her due, and although Weir does spell out how much the aggrandizement of the Widville clan is what caused them to be hated, I had the thought, "at least she's not Eleanor of Provence", since Eleanor and her fam should have known better than the parvenu Widvilles, and then I laughed when Weir went and namedropped Eleanor of Provence as a specific example of that kind of past behaviour being hated on by the English commons (yay!).
Second observation which is somewhat related to the first, is that Weir reports on the usual of how Edward IV's marriage to Elizabeth Widville is a major cause for falling out with the Earl of Warwick and the next round of fighting, but I feel like that that's such easy scapegoating because Edward IV was not inclined to be as much influenced by Warwick as Warwick would have liked, plus Warwick wanted Edward to marry a French princess, when the commons still loathed Margaret of Anjou and remembered freshly Henry V's successes against France. Elizabeth was not a great choice, but neither was Warwick's, and fighting would have erupted anyway, IMO.

Purrcy; This week in books
Jan. 14th, 2026 11:17 pmmecurtinPurrcy and I woke up together and he was *super* adorable and loving and everything a cat should be in the morning.
My list of 2026 books continues!
#5 A Drop of Corruption by Robert Jackson Bennett, re-read.
Really 4.5 stars, rounded up. It's got so many things I love: bio-based tech, the struggle against the human tendency to bend at the knee, disaster bisexual protagonist! But the big plot revelation undercuts the point Bennett is trying to make, because
The struggle Din has, between feeling that only fighting at the Wall matters versus "mere" Justice work, seems to me odd because I'm so used to thinking of justice work as being part of a very large, nationwide, group effort. As it must be! the efforts of Ana (who Din is starting to see clearly) to Watch the Watchmen will only be effective if the potentially corrupt curb stay their hands *knowing* they may be watched. You can't police every action, you *have* to get people to police themselves.
In any event, this is a super thoughtful work in a thoughtful series, not just a Nero Wolf-like mystery but also an ongoing exploration of how human beings can create a society where "you are the empire".
This latest re-read was prompted by KJ Charles' goodreads review, which notes "there's something really odd about the use of exclamation marks in Ana's dialogue, I swear to God it's a reference to something that I can't put my finger on, this is driving me nuts". I re-read paying close attention, nothing came to mind at first. I now wonder if Ana gets some of her verbal tics from Bertha Cool, of Rex Stout's Cool & Lam series. "Fry me for an oyster!"
#6 To Shape a Dragon's Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose, re-read to get ready for sequel coming out Jan. 27.
This time I savored the Uncleftish Beholding quality of the science, as Blackgoose enjoys herself building a world that never had Christianity, to spread Latin & Greek as the language of learning through Europe. In fact I don't think it has had Islam, either, the Kindah seem to be talking about a god of fire like Zoroastrianism, maybe? So I think maybe this is a world with no Judaism nor any of its descendants, which is a BIG change, all right.
The thing about the world-building that really nags at me is that I know more about living on Nantucket, her "Mack Island", than she does -- my knowledge mostly coming from long experience with Block Island, another of the glacial remnants off southern New England. On the map, "Mack Is." is Nantucket, "Nack Is." is Martha's Vineyard -- which she has given a completely implausible coal mine, for AU reasons. People seem to be able to canoe between them easily, even in winter, which ... no. That's not possible, the waters are too rough, and in winter they're MUCH too cold. Even today, Block Is., the Vineyard, Nantucket will have winter days when the ferry can't run because the weather is too bad. Nantucket has the worst weather because it's the most exposed, and that means it had the worst corn harvests.
Blackgoose is a member of the Seaconck Wampanoag Tribe, who are trying to reconnect with their heritage ... but who don't, for historical reasons that are 100% NOT their fault, have the continuity of experience that other Native writers are bringing (Stephen Graham Jones, Darcie Little Badger, Caskey Russell).
#7 Grave Expectations, by Alice Bell
A humorous mystery where i actually laughed so hard at one slapstick scene Beth worried about the noise I was making! The protagonist is a mess, whiny, & needs to get a handle on her smoking & drinking, but being perpetually haunted by the ghost of your best friend and too English to actually track down what killed her (ugh, *feelings*) is at least comprehensible. She's an amateur detective who is actually amateurish, and that makes her much more believable.
#8 Displeasure Island by Alice Bell. Second in the series. It's cute enough, I'm not sure the mystery holds together, but at least by the end Claire is starting to become less whiny so I have great hopes for the future.
I have now found the perfect way to insert spoilers: using the details HTML tag! Description and examples at W3 schools here.

the super-cunning antagonist is actual royal, when real royalty is mid.

What I’m doing Wednesday and first class went great
Jan. 14th, 2026 06:21 pmwriterlibrarianTeaching stuff: First week went fine, the first zoom session went great. Over 20 students attended, it’s optional and we record it for those who can not attend. I’m almost done with the texts for week 3. My TA is wonderful. What are the chances I would get a Chinese exchange student… really. I was so happy when I got her resume. She’s organized, engaged. We both love to plan things out. We planned the heck out of the session on Monday. The content, the time allowed for each section and we delivered an hour of content on the dot. We were both really proud of ourselves.
I decided to post more and at least post on Wednesday. So here goes my reading for the past week.
What I’m doing Wednesday
Reading
I’m finishing v.8 of Heaven Official’s Blessing, This is the last book of the series. I read book 1 and 2 at the end of the summer, put it on pause then picked it up again mid November and I haven’t read much else since. I loved the series. It kept me reading and interested. There are plot twists I saw coming, others not at all. Which is the mark of a good series in my book.
I also read graphic novels for the class. I read in no particular order :
The Other World's Books Depend on the Bean Counter (Manga), Vol. 1 I will continue to read the series. It was a satisfying read.
A study in Emerald. Neil Gaiman. I’m okay with reading it. It’s a different remix of Doyle with a dash of Lovecraft and a bunch of other literary kinda Easter eggs. I’m not fond of reading Gaiman these days but I needed to for the session on remixes, adaptation etc., of Doyle’s works.
2 French Canadian graphic novels. One I really liked and it’s available in English translation for those who might want to check it out.
UTown by Cab. I really liked the condensed plot, the graphics, the whole punk, gritty atmosphere and I know the area that inspired the author. Gentrification, poverty, artists, etc. A good graphic novel.
1 French graphic novel. Quand j’ai froid by Valentine Choquet. My crush of the week. Almost no text but plenty of emotions.
Watching
Love between Lines. Modern romance cdrama. So so good. Adults who talk about the misunderstanding, slowly falling for each other. The VR Republican Alternate universe escape game is so good. Both leads have chemistry, the acting is good, the story is good. It's about architecture, which is one of my thing. I'm watching in real time which is the one irritant.
Glory. Historical, political, matriarcal cdramaWhich is on hold because it hit kinda of a slump. I'm stalled at episode 12.
Flight to you. Modern work place cdrama set in aviation industry. It ties me over waiting for the new Love between lines episodes. Wang Kai (of Nirvana in fire) is his stoic self. It's a nice story. I'm up to episode 8.
I did finish last week Shine on me which was so much fun. One of the greenest green flag male lead in the same league as The First Frost and The Best Thing. Two really good modern cdrama romance from 2025.
Crafting
Started thisFox in Winter Forest cross-stitch because I got tired of stitching flowers with a gazillion colour threads. So I put on hold my really big project to tackle this smaller one with less than 10 colour threads.
That's it.
Have a good rest of the week. I know I will.

Putri Duyung & H2O: Just Add Water
Jan. 11th, 2026 08:11 pmscaramoucheI've watched a lot of media that shamelessly rips off other media, either the basic concepts or the plots wholesale, and a lot of time I roll my eyes or think it's funny, but when I saw that there's an Indonesian tv show that rips off H2O: Just Add Water, I got mad. :/
I think it's because although Just Add Water had its own success and is beloved by a particular generational subset, it's not an international mainstream famous kind of show, and ripping it off feels like they're being sneaky, taking advantage of an indie work that not many people know about. Unlike, say, Magik Rompak which rips off Now You See Me, or the kajilion Hindi films that rip off Hollywood blockbusters and you know exactly what's going on. (The two Top Gun: Maverick rip-offs made me laugh so hard.)
This isn't even the first Just Add Water rip-off I've seen! I watched the Romanian Sirenele recently, which is exactly that, but that one is also a vanity project with less than half the production value of the original show, and in the comments of where the show is uploaded on youtube, plenty of people are calling them out for it. I don't even like Just Add Water all that much, I don't know why I feel particularly offended on its behalf.
I thought I could start watching that Indonesian show alongside Aryana, but now I feel like I have to finish watching Just Add Water first so I know where the shows diverge.
Edited to add: I have started a H2O: Just Add Water rewatch!
