Has anyone read this series? Assassin nuns for the god of Death! That book completely took the first spot for me.

I read it back in 2013, and it was my absolute introduction to romantic fantasy. At the time, I was going through cancer treatment, and these books were such an incredible escape.

I especially loved the second book (Dark Triumph), which features Sybella. She was such a total badass, full of rage, and deeply complex.

Does anyone have recommendations for fantasy romance books with a Female Main Character (FMC) similar to her? I'd love to find another heroine with that same fierce, angry energy, but someone whose anger is justified and compelling, without being annoying?

I have 4 years as a CSM in productivity SaaS, just made the jump to cybersecurity at an F500 account two weeks ago. Still in the shadowing phase, so I’m mostly just watching and absorbing right now.

And already my brain is breaking a little.

In my pervious role I was constantly proving value. Every QBR was building the case on adoption numbers, time saved, here’s why you need us etc. The customer needed to be convinced on a rolling basis.

Shadowing on calls here, when we pull up the dashboard with the customer they see that thousands of threats blocked, clear as day.

They get it. Nobody’s questioning the product.

And then they just… don’t engage.

I’m realizing the skill set is almost inverted. I spent 4 years getting good at demonstrating value and here the value is already in front of them. But the customer is a CISO with 47 other problems and they’re not looking for someone to narrate their own dashboard back to them.

I’m still early and still shadowing so maybe I’m missing something. But my gut says the CSM motion here is less about value proof and more about being useful differently like retention, risk gaps, helping them tell the story upward internally.

Anyone make a similar transition? What actually changed for you?
