Tag: orc

You recommended The Sorceress’s Orc some time ago and I’m trying to find it online, but I have to ask – is there a romance in this book? How is the Orc – IS HE CUTE?? And how much of him is in the book?

ever-hungry-aria:

Nonnie you better sit down, major spoilers under the line so if you don’t want to read them, just don’t but to answer your first question, yes, there is romance  ;]

A very relevant review.

Heyy do you know some books with teratophilia themes? Or if not, some good monster books?

fuck-yeah-monsters-and-villains:

Thank you for
asking! Really, your ask was exactly what I needed. You see, I was thinking
of writing this list for some time now but I was too lazy.

I have stuff to
recommend because I‘ve been actively looking for books that
feature inter-species/monster romances for a long time. Fun fact: Up
until recently I didn‘t know that this kink was called
teratophilia. 🙂 Thanks, tumblr for educating me. Also, since I found
out how to navigate the relevant tags my life has improved
immeasurably.

Books with monsters as love interests:

  • Radiance (Wraith
    Kings, #1) – Grace Draven

The
male protagonist is terrifying by human standards. He finds the human
heroine appalling and he’s just as ugly to her. The like each other
from the start.

Alien-lizard-man,
monk and fighter… Need I say more? Ok: The heroine is fat. She does
lose weight while trying to survive on a hostile alien planet though.
The lizard man protagonist is interested in her either way. All kinds
of trigger warnings for this book: violence, rape, gore, death. It’s
also over 900 pages long. Crazy.

Alien-Insect
man, single dad and adorable. The human social worker really tries to
help him and she does… Reads like District 9 fan fiction which is a
good thing! This book is a bit tamer than The Last Hour of Gann but
the sex is still graphic. 🙂

Check
out this author’s other books as she seems to specialize in
monsters of all kinds.

Girl
is abducted by the King of the Goblins. This is not a David Bowie
Goblin King, this one looks really monstrous. It’s a YA book but
the good kind. The heroine is not an insufferable brat and there is
no love triangle (note: love triangles are only acceptable for me if
they end in a three-way).

Really
beautiful and magical book, sex happens but off-screen.

Another
one where the Goblin King really looks like a goblin. Set in
Jane-Austen-Land.

The
heroine is almost a cyborg. Her extremities were replaced by
completely overpowered prosthetics after a horrific assault while
working as a government agent. She’s traumatized, in pain, doesn’t
have full control of her new body and hasn’t come to terms with her
new menacing look. The rock star demon elf protagonist is very much
into her. Yes, really.

Add
a really inhuman demon to the mix with whom the heroine also has an
intense relationship. Don’t worry it’s not a fucking love
triangle (the bane of my existence). You’ll see… Actually the
description of the whole demon society is very cool and unique and
probably my favorite part of the book.

The
male love interest is a genetically manipulated cat-like human. Plot
driven science fiction book.

Trigger
warning: atrocious cover art

Still,
give this book a chance! Fluffy and sweet romance between a human
woman and an alien-lizard man. Enough plot to be still considered a
science fiction romance rather than just erotica in space.

  • Earthrise
    (Her Instruments, #1) – M.C.A Hogarth

This
is an actual furry novel. I did not know such a thing existed.
Thankfully the main couple is a WOC and a space elf but there are so
many furries in this book. For example there is a furry (tiger-like ?) couple. They are siblings (twins actually)… But don’t
worry that’s perfectly normal on their planet.

Now
one might think by this description that this book is completely
depraved erotica. Unfortunately it’s not. The tone of this book is
so sweet and cute it could be directed at children. Spoilers: It’s
not because, you know, incest…

So
yeah, strange experience but if your are into this stuff this might
be the book for you.

This
one is really erotica. Mainly sex, a little plot.

Human
heroine meets impossibly tall gender-fluid space-elf prince who grows
an interesting cock over the course of this novella. Yeah.


Books
I haven’t read yet :


(I
don’t know if they are good.)

  • Books
    with dragons:     They are really easy to find. Just type ‘dragon’
    in the search bars of Goodreads or Amazon. From children’s books to
    erotica – there are many titles to choose from. I can’t really
    recommend a specific book because they are not my preferred kind of
    monster. I have read a few books with dragons but nothing that was
    memorable enough to recommend it. I’ve yet to find an interesting
    dragon. 😉

Do you know a book with a monstrous love interest? Please, contact me or reblog with your recommendation! Thanks 🙂

Reblogging
to add some books I forgot in my initial post:

It’s
the end of the world but in a remote valley a small group of people
survived. A woman strikes a deal with a magical creature, the Hob to
keep them safe.The
Hob is monstrous, magical and mischievous and also the last of his
kind. The poor monster boy just wants a girlfriend. 😉

Human
blogger tries to raise awareness for the amphibious hero’s people
who suffer on their occupied home world. The first book seems to set
up a polyamorous relationship.  

Books
I haven’t read yet:

Seems
to have a lot in common with The Shape of Water. It’s also the only
book on this list that falls into the category of literary fiction.

For
Orc lovers. I don’t know if there is romance. 

Thanks
to @roguesareth who suggested

  • Valiant
    (Modern Faerie Tales
    #2)
    – Holly Black

The
love interest is a bridge troll.

laureljupiter:

hey @corseque, idk if relevant, but I’ve been writing in circles all day about orcs and what we know from the works that were published during Tolkien’s lifetime, what we know from the writing that was published posthumously, how to define “canon” at all in that kind of body of work. But one of the things that IS indisputable “canon”, that shows up in all three LOTR books, is actually orc romance? Orcs have children with humans, and those mixed people are mentioned in every book. They aren’t really treated well or talked about in depth by the story, and afaik they’re all still working for Saruman during the books, but if you want to know whether orcs have souls, the capacity for love, are mindless automatons controlled by whichever Dark Lord, etc, the answer is “You’re asking about that guy who works in the stables in the tavern at Bree? You want to know if his mom is an evil robot controlled by Satan? Hmmm…”

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. 😉

The Sorceress’s Orc

ever-hungry-aria:

I finished reading 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 like “Hold on, wtf, it’s like every orc story on Tumblr I’ve read so far!!” (maybe not as NSFW but it’s not for minors as well ;D)

“At 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.

“

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 to  @fuck-yeah-monsters-and-villains  for finding this book and recommending it to me 🙂

______________________________________________

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.😀

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.😉

BRIGHT (Netflix 2017)

Thirsty for Orcs and Elves? That movie has lots!
Thanks to @ever-hungry-aria who brought it to my attention.

I’m not entirely uncritical of this movie but it features one of my all time favourite scenarios in the science fiction and fantasy genre: A society where different species live together.
