Chronicles of Blood and Stone: Difference between revisions

A series of [[High Fantasy]] novels by Robert Newcomb, notable for a) a ''literal'' gender war, with women as the baddies, and b) an amazingly vehement [[Hatedom]], partly because of the gender war and partly because of rampant cliches.

 

* The Fifth Sorceress (2002)

* The Gates of Dawn (2003)

The sequel trilogy is known as ''[[Destinies of Blood and Stone]]''. There were plans for a third trilogy, ''Victories of Blood and Stone'', but publisher Del Rey cancelled Newcomb's contract after the second trilogy was released.

 

 

* [[Action Girl]]: By the third book, Shailiha is one of these. Also in the third book is Tyranny.

* [[Aerith and Bob]]: We have Tristan, Nicholas, Morganna, and Shailiha all coming from the same family. In the same world, we also have Failee, Succiu, Wigg, Shannon the Small, etc.

* [[Chosen One]]: Tristan. He and his sister are literally called the "Chosen Ones."

* [[Dangerous Forbidden Technique]]: The Vagaries. In particular, the combining of the Vigors and the Vagaries.

* [[Evil Feels Good]]: "Hugely sexual longings" commence when using the Vagaries.

* [[Face Heel Turn]]: {{spoiler|Shailiha. She gets better.}}

* [[Magic A Is Magic A]]

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Succiu walks around naked as much as possible.

* [[Old Master]]: Wigg.

* [[Plot Hole]]: Many, often due to bad editing.

* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: Most of the wizards and sorceresses are around 300-400 years old.

* [[Sequel Hook]]: Tristain's father appears to him in a dream ''for the sole purpose'' of giving a [[Sequel Hook]]. Gee, dad, thanks for confirming that my life will continue to suck even if I survive this book.
