This week over at the Fantasy Review Barn Nathan is taking us travelling once again through the tropes of fantasy.  The topic this week: MOMS:

Everyone has a mother. Including people in fantasyland. 

The head of family, mummy Scott – immortal vampire, incredibly strong, rules the family with an iron fist but is gradually becoming weaker.  Generation V by M L Brennan

Lady Trent – may not seem like a pillar of virtue after she first has her son but in Voyage of the Basilisk the two really started to bond well and he actually brought out a different side.  Lady Trent’s Memoirs by Marie Brennan

Penelope – Nevada’s mother from Burn for Me by Ilona Andrews – one kick ass mom!

Coraline’s other mother – the evil mum who wants to stitch buttons on for eyes – ouch!  Coraline by Neil Gaiman.

Mrs Weasley – needs no introduction – just ‘not my daughter – you bitch!’
