Drawing depicting Gideon's death from The Locked Tomb book one, Harrow clutches Gideon's body and cries. They both are covered in blood and Gideon has grievous wounds.

kaereth:

“The land that shall receive thee dying, in the same will I die: and there will I be buried. The Lord do so and so to me, and add more also, if aught but death part me and thee.”

“See you on the flip side, sugarlips.”

Me and my girl don’t argue. I just kill myself to force her ascension to divinity and then walk it off. Like a man.

hello. wtf is locked tomb and can you tell me all about it

notedchampagne:

the locked tomb series is a four part scifi/tragedy trilogy featuring necromancy! its a little hard to quantify because summarizing it depends ENTIRELY on the target audience but it does have broad and expansive themes on love and death and grief and most importantly, the horrors of love.

my bestie quinn summarized it quite nicely over here

if you like romance: the books explore different types of romance and how they will destroy and consume you in different ways. also theres lesbians if that helps

if you like tragedy: i have cried at the end of all three books. it is about how easily you can be consumed by your passions and obsessions

if you like worldbuilding: personally i think the difference between exhaustive worldbuilding and good worldbuilding is that they have the same amount of detail, but good worldbuilding is expressed through the eyes of the characters and not elaborated upon in the narrative. tlt does the latter: its a very fantastic universe that seems almost too confusing to behold at first but the bits and pieces the characters integrate into their dialogue say so much

if you like puzzles: this series made me make a fucking discord channel + use up multiple sticky notes to piece together the plot and stories happening throughout the books. im currently rereading the series in an attempt to make a wikipedia on all the characters from scratch

if you dont like puzzles: im on the dumber side of theory-solving but even if youre lost if you have patience the book does a great job of explaining it all in the end. im very serious. if you have questions they Will be answered you will not be left behind. all the extra background corkboard shit is optional for freaks that want more

if you like humor: i have never giggled so often

if you like milfs / insane older women: theres at LEAST three. get at em boys
