The novel takes place during the first year in the life of young Titus Groan, a newborn heir to the throne, spread out across the points of view of a dozen of the castle’s more important inhabitants. Titus Groan takes place in the vast, ancient and isolated castle of Gormenghast, inhabited by the Earl of Groan, his royal family, and a vast retinue of servants. It’s often compared to JRR Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy, though I’m not sure why – apart from being weighty tomes written by British authors in the mid-20th century, the only thing they have in common is being fantasy, and they’re very different kinds of fantasy indeed. It seems to be one of those works which is relatively obscure outside literary and academic circles. Mervyn Peake’s Gormenghast trilogy ( Titus Groan, Gormenghast and Titus Alone) is apparently a well-known and highly regarded work of British fantasy, although I first heard of it only a few years ago.

I have mixed feelings about this book already! I am so excited for this book, but I also don't want this to be the end of the series (for real this time!)Īll I'm going to say is that there MUST be a wedding in this book, if not Jaron and Imogen's, then at least Amarinda and Tobias's (please!). no fair! □□ĪCTUALLY ONE MORE THING (a quote, of course): “i say all of this, imogen, every time i speak your name” i’m melting i don’t like that they continue existing for her and not for us. One more thing: jennifer said if there was a sixth book, she’d know what would happen. If disney+ can make a pjo series, they can darn well do this. i feel like they needed to, but also this is middle grade and what happened was nice so i understand.ĪLSO WHAT IS FINK'S REAL NAME SHE SAID SHE'D TELL US ?!?
