RIP (Read In Progress) Wednesday

[quillpunk]

There's a rumor going around this part of the solar system that it might be Wednesday again. What are the odds of that, I humbly ask. But, well, just in case...

What are you reading? 👀

Oh, which bits does she reference? I haven't read that one by Weis. (I think I've only read some of the Dragonlance ones by her.)

It's been a while, but Star of the Guardians explicitly is space opera with the fallen "guardians" (think "Jedi") of an overthrown monarchy after one of them turned on the king, so it's very "who guards the guardians" generally, and then I think something in there about the allegory of the cave.

Star of the Guardians also runs on "evil corrupt democracy (due to a "Sith" puppeting the president) and now we have to restore the Magical Shiny Rightful Royal Line," which would probably not play super well right now, but the books were published in the 1990s, and the story/setting/characters apparently date back to Margaret Weis's, like, drawerfic of Tom Corbett, Space Cadet or similar from when she was a kid.
