Kadingir	comment	Kadingir is a series of fantasy novels written from 2006 onwards by Spanish authors Joan Llongueras, Merce Masnou and Helena Sales.The story follows the adventures of Ishtar, a spunky and upbeat girl with a sharp tongue, after she accidentally travels to Ki, a chestnut-shaped world in a parallel dimension full of Fantastic Sapient Species with special abilities. She quickly recovers from the initial shock when she learns that her mysterious grandmother, an Adventurer Archaeologist who she has been penpals with for years but has never actually met, actually comes from this world... And has just been kidnapped! Ishtar's main goal will be finding her, as well as mastering her new-found powers with the help of her Mentor Nakki. That is, if the lizard-king Usúmgal doesn't kill her first.The series is still ongoing, and currently consists of four books (El Cetro de Zink, El Señor de Zapp, El Caso Shapla and El Cuarto Poder English The Scepter of Zink, The Lord of Zapp, The Shapla Case and The Fourth Power), which follow Ishtar's multiple adventures in Ki. Additionally, in 2017 a prequel was published, La Reina de Kígal English The Queen of Kígal, which was centered on Ishtar's grandmother Nírgal and some other characters in their youth.The authors have manifested time and again their admiration for the Discworld series, from which they draw some inspiration.See the official website here

It comes in two flavours: the empathic radar, which allows them to detect close-range lifeforms in general (animals and people, though specifying on what species or which individuals is increasingly difficult); and the mental radar, which allows them to detect when close-range minds are actively thinking about them, hostile intentions or otherwise.

Ereshkigal is a compound word and lacks the accent mark, but it is pronounced e-RESH-ki-gal. Ullah is particularly tricky because of the ll and final h, which confuses a lot of people.

Kadingir / int_c5b47b36	comment	Offscreen Moment of Awesome: It is strongly implied that the amnesiac mayor of Idiri from The Queen of Kígal is the one who draw the original map into the Nuzua jungle to find the Bank, since he crawled out of there with enough cash to build a village from scrap. This invariably means that he somehow managed to find the Bank to begin with, got past the swarm of killer mulursanyes, stole part of their treasure and found his way back out of the jungle without the books addressing this colossal feat nor him even remembering a thing about it.

Made funnier by the fact that Elvis Presley canonically exists in the story and emigrated from Ki to Earth centuries ago. The Nuzu Brothers are very loosely based on the Marx Brothers. Logan may be a standard trench coat and fedora-wearing lizard detective, but his mannerisms and extremely specific Verbal Tic are an homage to the Catalan dub of Rowan Atkinson's Blackadder.

However, part of the plot revolves around the return of a dreaded plague from 25 years prior, and two chapters are used to describe the events leading to it, stepping further back in time. The narrative brings this point home with the use of verb tense: while all the books are always written in the present tense, this specific flashback is entirely in the past, giving it a distinct feel from the rest of the story.

Everyone Ishtar comes across compares her with her grandmother, and how amazingly similar they are. Any conversation involving Sura and a newly arrived character starts with some variation of "But I thought you were dead!", and yet everyone has a different version of how exactly he met his demise. Note that Sura himself never admits to or denies any of such stories, nor does he give any explanations of how did he survivie... Nakki never, ever jokes, despite how many "Are you kidding me?" reactions he gets in The Lord of Zapp.
