WARCRAFT (2016)

This movie features a lot of orcs. Big orcs, small orcs, girl orcs, boy orcs, baby orcs, honorable orcs, bad orcs, magical orcs, sexy orcs, family raising orcs, interspecies romance orcs, …..many orcs. I’m just posting this in case any orc lovers out there weren’t aware this movie existed. šŸ˜‰

The Sorceress’s Orc

ever-hungry-aria:

I finished readingĀ The Sorceress’s Orc and I loved it! I didn’t expect some things in this book, especially not being it a fucking terato love story, I had a filthy grin on my face while reading some parts. I mean, I though the book just featured orcs, but along the way I was likeĀ ā€œHold on, wtf, it’s like every orc story on Tumblr I’ve read so far!!ā€ (maybe not as NSFW but it’s not for minors as well ;D)

ā€œAt the beginning of the story, Vervain, Mistress of the Magical Sciences, is assigned an orc bodyguard, Riyu. She is less than happy that this is considered necessary, but soon finds out that the prejudices she had about orcs are not true, and Riyu is actually rather pleasant company. When the university where she teaches is attacked, she saves the live of her students, and is in turn saved by Riyu. When it is found that one of Vervain’s colleagues has gone missing, she insists to go on a mission to find him.

ā€œ

The orcs in the book are awesome, they have very expressive, long and pointy ears, an honour codex, green skin and the main orc character, Riyu, is just so awesome, a fierce warrior, huuuuge, but so gentle and caring towards the main character, Vervain.

Thanks again toĀ Ā @fuck-yeah-monsters-and-villainsĀ  for finding this book and recommending it to me šŸ™‚

______________________________________________

Although I recommended the book (because I knew it featured Orcs) I haven’t actually read it yet. Well, after this review it certainly moved up on my long list of books to read.šŸ˜€

I remember I found this book while I was looking for fantasy and science fiction books that feature a strong romantic element, a heroine that doesn’t conform to established beauty standards (this one’s a bit older than the usual fantasy heroine) AND possibly an interspecies relationship.

…..yes, I’m picky and finding stuff that caters to my tastes is not easy.šŸ˜‰

BEAUTY by Robin McKinley

Beauty has never liked her nickname. She is thin and awkward; it is her two sisters who are the beautiful ones. But what she lacks in looks, she can perhaps make up for in courage.

When her father comes home with the tale of an enchanted castle in the forest and the terrible promise he had to make to the Beast who lives there, Beauty knows she must go to the castle, a prisoner of her own free will. Her father protests that he will not let her go, but she answers, ā€œCannot a Beast be tamed?ā€

Robin McKinley’s beloved telling illuminates the unusual love story of a most unlikely couple, Beauty and the Beast.
