Thea Winthrop--Double Seventh, a brand new Elemental mage--must abandon her studies & gather Nikola Tesla & her old friends from the Last Ditch School.
Because something is very wrong with the world of magic.
Now at Book View Cafe--DAWN OF MAGIC by Alma Alexander.
This is a series that has come up repeatedly when I read any kind of fantasy recommendation list, and been recommended to me personally by a few folks. Should probably have read this sooner, but no time like the present!
Hope it lives up to the dark Harry Potter vibes it gives off!
Another book that brought me so much pleasure that I now must read everything written by the author since: THE UNLIKELY ESCAPE OF URIAH HEEP by H. G. Parry (2019) #fantasy#bookstodon#AmReading@bookstodon
Check out this excerpt from the thirteenth chapter of my novel, Below the Heavens - JiangXi.
I have the entirety of the novel published on Royal Road for free. I'm actively publishing the second novel of the series as well! You can find the link to both in my bio.
What happened to young Hervor, from "The Waking of Angantyr," a short story by Marie Brennan that appeared in MURMURS IN THE DARK, Book View Cafe's ghost stories anthology?
A sweeping YA fantasy inspired by Scottish history and folklore, Our Divine Mischief takes readers on a journey told in three voices: a determined heroine, an outcast young man, and a wish-granting canine. Their adventure spans an island fishing village to the king’s court in a story about identity, belonging, and the love between a human and her dog.
Nie jest to nic nadzwyczajnego, ale zdecydowanie mnie nie zawiodła - to plus. A słyszałem, że kolejne części są jeszcze lepsze.
To typowe polskie urban fantasy o wiedźmach. Może jest trochę delikatniejsze pod kątem żartów i opowieści, ale kreuje ciekawą historię. I nie chodzi mi o fabułę - ta jest dobra, choć przewidywalna. Na pewno warto się zainteresować, bo czuć, że ci bohaterowie mają potencjał.
I reviewed Conan the Barbarian issue 4 for Grimdark Magazine. I had pretty mixed feelings about this, the conclusion of the first Titan Comics story arc!
#WritersCoffeeClub Ch 3 Nbr 8 — What does your most productive writing space look like?
This is my most productive writing space. It includes a keyboard and trackpad glued to my treadmill, a monitor above mirroring my iPadPro to the right, a Apple TV puck, a Homepod mini, and coffee.
I get more revision done here than anywhere else, and some composition, too!
The first in a new epic fantasy series from David R. Slayton--author of White Trash Warlock--Dark Moon, Shallow Sea is a powerful story of divine betrayal, ghosts, and self-discovery, perfect for fans of the Dark Souls series or Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson.
From Paige Crutcher, the author of The Orphan Witch and The Lost Witch , comes a new tale about a witch, a book of magic, and a beguiling and powerful creature whom she must free, even if it puts her life and soul at stake.
With more than 7 hours on a plane for a business trip this week, I couldn't take any chances with my reading material. I wanted to make sure I had a REALLY GOOD book, so I went with a re-read of one of my recent favorites: The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab. It has so much to love: romance, adventure, fantasy, a nasty villain, a feisty heroine with circumstances definitely not in her favor. It's wonderful. #Bookstodon#Books#AmReading#Fantasy#FridayReads#LasVegas@bookstodon

For those who reveled in the action of ‘Redwall’ by Brian Jacques or the legend of the ‘Guardians of Ga’Hoole’ by Kathyn Lasky, The Great Weather Diviner is a fractured fairy tale with a rich tapestry of fantasy, adventure, and enlightenment.
