@sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz I made myself a teeny little laminated cheatsheet to carry around, and just read whatever I could find to practice on. Unfortunately most of what I could find was old and boring lol... However, there is the !shavian@lemmy.world community, and also oddly a bunch of fanfic on AO3? Those two are wayyyy more entertaining
@sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz Well, I only first learned Shavian even existed when somebody advertised this Lemmy community (@shavian@lemmy.world) 2 weeks ago, if that tells you anything lol. I'd say I finally managed to stop needing a cheat sheet after about 1.5 weeks of halfhearted semi-daily practice? EDIT: Oops, definitely did NOT mean to actually tag the group! Federation is too powerful lol!!

I'm finally just fluent enough in Shavian script English to start reading this, it doesn't really take that long surprisingly. Only a few pages in so far, and @LillyPip@lemmy.ca this book already rocks!

...read this! Very cute, mostly fluffy. I only really have three mild complaints. First: you think it's gonna get spicier eventually, and it does, but that happens totally off-screen unfortunately lol. It's a fairly long book, and you can tell they're building up to it. But when it finally happens it's one of those "...and then suddenly it's the next morning" type scenes. Second: the transfemme MC is taller than average and flat chested. I get it, that's not exactly super uncommon, but we do come in other shapes you know! Third: the MCs are like polymaths to an obscene level. How are you an expert at hockey, cow wrangling, math, Rubik's cubes, AND obscure trivia?? So minus half a star for those things, but I'd still recommend it anyway.

Very lucky this trilogy can be read out of order, because I definitely did. They're all so very precious, I can't recommend them enough.

I don't have a ton of thoughts about this book other than it being pretty good. The "metamagic" concept was really clever, honestly much more inspired than anything happening in the works being parodied here. The spicy parts were very hot. There were fewer of them than I was expecting, but definitely the right amount. It's a fairly personal story with relatively small stakes, more in line with the average romance than the average fantasy. That probably makes sense for book 1 of a series though. It does a great job establishing the world's rules, which are pretty intriguing. I'd love to read a followup with a grander, more far-reaching plot.
