Today I’m sharing a short snippet for the writer friends challenge. This comes from the opening sequence of Beyond the Humming Downs and reveals a little bit about the magic of my world. (That seems to be a theme this week. ☺️) ✨ ✨ ✨ The moment she crawled into her bedding beneath the wagon, exhaustion ached through Adehl. She curled into a ball, took deep breaths and tried to let the pipe-music and the sound of bells wash over her. If only she’d heeded Frahto’s suggestion earlier in the day, taken the offered provisions and kept riding. Hindsight was no use at all. Grass tickling her cheek, Adehl opened to the heartstorm, the wild tempest of ellir in the depths of the world. The energy flowed through her, strummed her llirah. It was chaotic and free, untethered. Every part of her vibrated until she felt cleansed. ✨ ✨ ✨ Coming soon: Beyond the Humming Downs Earth magic. Breaking rules. Forbidden love. Betrayals. Exile. Fighting for justice and equality. Fantasy with (low-spice) love, hope and adventure. #ellenstarsmore #amwritingfantasy #fantasy #fantasyauthor #fantasywriter #romanticfantasy #indiefantasyauthor #indiefantasy #fantasybook #fantasyfiction #fantasynovel #saturdaysnippet #WriterFriendsChallenge @writer.friends.challenge

I thought it'd be fun to whip up some #dungeonsanddragons stats for some of the items and monsters in my fantasy world, so let's start with a bureaucrat's most important tool, the uribird quill: The tiny, rotund uribird makes up for their size with violent magic. We at the Blessed Agency proudly offer their feathers to replace the need for costly spell components. When casting spells of 5th level or lower, spellcasters like you can replace all spell components with a single sheet of paper. Cast Charm Person without muttering! Leave your phosphorous and bat fur at home! And there’s more! 1/day, wise spellcasters such as you can empower a spell. When you do, add 1d6 to spell damage. Creatures affected by the spell have disadvantage on saving throws against it. . . . . #fantasyworldbuilding #fantasyfiction #indieauthors #essimoredarkenchyl #dnd #dnditems #magicitems #d20 #rareitem

The second book in The Conjureverse series did not come to play! It picks up right after were The Marvellers left off and automatically engulfs you back into Ella, Brigit and Jason’s schemes to figure out why Marvellians are so prejudice towards conjure people whilst figuring out there own magic and school. I truly enjoyed The Marvellers, and Memory Thieves loved quite up to its expectations. It’s a quick paced novel included with its prejudices towards conjurers (not unlike the reality we live in today) and tons of magic and emotions from these children characters. To also think this series is middle grade is mind blowing! #TheConjureverse #middlegradebook #fantasyfiction #bookrecommendation #dhonielleclayton #henryholtandcompany #filipina #ilovereading #vintagestyle #boricua #eyebuydirect #librarybooks

"Whimsical and contemporary, The Water Mage is a compelling first installment of the Lord of Chaos fantasy series. Richly painted with clever turns of phrase, the prose follows in the tradition of classic fantasy sagas, which places a premium on scene-building, character nuance, and lyrical world-building. The plot is entertaining, unpredictable, and immersive throughout, full of amusing misunderstandings and pop culture references that keep the writing cleverly accessible. A page-turning read, the detailed draftsmanship of the characters, cultures, and plotlines make this a solid foundation for what should be a binge-worthy series."⁣ ⁣ https://www.selfpublishingreview.com/2024/05/review-the-water-mage-by-t-j-ripley/⁣ ⁣ #fantasy #fantasyfiction #fantasybooks #bookreview #bookreviews #indieauthor

Inspiration 💕 - Today I’m adoring Cicely Mary Barker’s Flower Fairies. They have captivated audiences of all ages worldwide. The illustrations known for their botanical accuracy evoke a sense of enchantment and wonder that resonates with our inner magic. The delicate depictions of the Flower Fairies dancing among the petals and leaves bring a touch of whimsy and beauty to the world. Barker’s attention to detail and her deep connection to nature are evident in each fairy she brings to life on paper. These ethereal beings seem to whisper secrets of the natural world, inviting us to slow down and appreciate the enchanting moments that surround us each day. Cicely Mary Barker’s Flower Fairies serve as a gentle reminder to cherish the magic that blooms in even the smallest of places, igniting a spark of joy and imagination within all who pause to admire them. #author #writers #writersofinstagram #bookstagram #books #reader #writer #writing #writingcommunity #writerscommunity #authorlife #writerslife #reading #book #writersig #amwriting #fiction #readers #storyteller #storytelling #fantasyfiction #beinspiredbynature #authorinspiration #cicelymarybarker #flowerfairies #fairy

London is a city of buried secrets but none so buried, none so dark, as the Necropolis Railway... Opened in 1854 it was constructed to carry the dead out of London to a cemetery in Surrey, due to the fact that London’s graveyards were fit to bursting. There were train compartments for both the living and the dead, as well as a ‘coffin tickets’ which had to be issued to those… less upright passengers. You can still see the original railway building near Waterloo Station today, however, I have brought it back from the dead, and screaming, for #Shadowstitch... 😉☠🌙 I hope you’re all ready for the ride! . . . #Threadneedle #london #londonunderground #threadspiration #bookresearch #magic #hiddenlondon #witchcraft #foklore #amresearching #writersofinstagram #ya #author #creativity #writingcommunity #writerscommunity #witch #witchesofig #witchesofinstagram #fantasyfiction #bookishlove #booksbooksbooks #lovebooks #fiction #magic #research #pagan #paganmagic #wicca #fantasyfiction #necropolisrailway

🌟 Readalong 🌟 Ad/PR product - features Through Fire and Shadow by @rmschultzauthor. Today, I'm answering question 4 on this @lovebookstours readalong, which is "Is having no fear a good thing?" In the book, Vyk explains the trigger behind his reliance on alcohol. I can't even begin to imagine the emotions he must've felt, going into battle for the first time. I think having fear is a good thing as it makes you cautious and more considerate of impacts and potential outcomes, essential if your actions can affect others and your responsibilities. #lbtfantasy #lbtreadalong #theforgedandthefallen #throughfireandshadow #throughbloodanddragons #dragonfiction #dragonriders #fantasyfiction #readalong #bookstagram #bookstagramuk #bookish #bookishuk

🔖CHAPTERS🔖 ✨Short or long chapters? Really depends on the genre and what makes the most sense in how to break up the story. I’d say because I read fantasy the most, longer chapters are the way to go. ✨Chapter names or numbers? I have a soft spot for chapter names, and I think this stems from the chapter names of the PJO series. There’s something so nostalgic about chapters having names! ✨Single or multiple POV? Depends on the story but I like single POV but with the occasional dual to get another characters perspective on a certain moment. ✨Check chapter length? If I’m reading at home, I don’t really check, but when I’m travelling I like to know if I can finish a chapter before I close my book. ✨Bookmark, dust jacket or dog ear? I’m not ashamed to say I dog ear my books - even my treasured copies! 😂🐶 ✨What’s the latest you’ve stayed up reading? I’ve stayed up until 2/3am to finish some books and loved it! Some of those include ‘Ruthless Vows’ and the entire Throne of Glass series. Thank you for another brilliant challenge @read_with_charlotte. 🫶🏼 Tagged some book besties to do this challenge but anyone can do it! ❤️‍🔥 QOTD: What’s the longest book you’ve read to date? . . . . . . #books #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #literature #reading #read #author #reader #love #pages #fiction #fantasy #fantasyfiction #yaromantasy #romantasy #blog #author #booksta #bookstagramcommunity #2024books #booksbooksbooks #bookstagram2024 #may2024 #may #chapterchallenge #bookchallenge #chapters

Brite, Poppy Z. Exquisite Corpse. Simon & Schuster (US), 1996. First hardcover edition. . Exquisite Corpse by Poppy Z. Brite, whose novels "Lost Souls" and "Drawing Blood" I had read previously, ran into some serious publishing roadblocks. Delacorte, whom Brite had a three-book contract with, refused to publish it, Penguin also turned it down and then it started to bounce from publisher to publisher until Simon & Schuster (US) and Orion (UK) decided to bring it up for air. Publishers had originally praised the novel's writing but then rejected it "[...] calling its subject matter 'too nihilistic, too extreme, [and] a bloodbath without justification'" (Brite: "The Poetry of Violence", 1996). . Well, uhm, yes. Still, Brite was a breath of fresh air for me, even at a time when "Splatterpunk", a group that Brite was usually lobbed in with, was still all the rage. In the beginning of the 2000s - or thereabout - Brite left the "playing field" to head for "dark comedies" and other pastures, but I have very fond memories of his books I have in my collection. I should really write more about Brite, but IG just allows for short descriptions. . The cover was provided by the ever-reliable J.K. Potter. . #poppyzbrite #exquisitecorpse #jkpotter #simonandschuster #1996 #hardcover #firstedition #novel #bookcollection #deus62 #gothichorror #splatterpunk #southerngothic #sciencefiction #horrorfiction #fantasyfiction #fiction #bookcovers #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booknerd #bookworm #igreads

📚 Book Review 📚 Lately I’ve been trying to work through my physical TBR and I picked this one up, then couldn’t put it down. It’s adventure and mythology, modern times and ancient rites and a fight to save the world, or maybe stated more correctly a fight to save a world. I was completely taken in by the story and it’s been a while since I’ve read a fantasy/magical realism book. Reading this genre is true escapism for me and I’m so happy to have read this. OFFICIAL BLURB: Every seven years, the Agon begins. As punishment for a past rebellion, nine Greek gods are forced to walk the earth as mortals, hunted by the descendants of ancient bloodlines, all eager to kill a god and seize their divine power and immortality. Long ago, Lore Perseous fled that brutal world in the wake of her family’s sadistic murder by a rival line, turning her back on the hunt’s promises of eternal glory. For years she’s pushed away any thought of revenge against the man—now a god—responsible for their deaths. Yet as the next hunt dawns over New York City, two participants seek out her help: Castor, a childhood friend Lore believed long dead, and a gravely wounded Athena, among the last of the original gods. The goddess offers an alliance against their mutual enemy and, at last, a way for Lore to leave the Agon behind forever. But Lore’s decision to bind her fate to Athena’s and rejoin the hunt will come at a deadly cost—and still may not be enough to stop the rise of a new god with the power to bring humanity to its knees. #lore #alexandrabracken #fantasyfiction #magicalrealism #adventurefiction #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookreview #bookreviews #bookreviewer #igreads #booksbooksbooks #books

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙪𝙨𝙩| 𝙍𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬 I need to catch up on my reviews desperately 🤣 I received an advanced copy of this one a while back from the lovely folks at @hodderscape ❤️ For centuries, the Everly family have been plagued by a curse - one from each generation is taken as punishment for a crime no one remembers and for a purpose no one understands. 10 years ago, Violet's mother fled to find a cure but never came back and Violet has no choice but to take her place... What results is a magical journey with deceipt, scholars, dark family history, intricate world building and romance to name a few. I would've loved for this to be a series rather than a standalone as I think so much more could have been added to make this phenomenal and not just "good and enjoyable yet a little forgettable". It feels very Neil Gaiman or Phillip Pullman-esque so I'd recommend if you're fans of their works! #fantasyfiction #bookstagram #bookblogger #adprgifted #booksofinstagram

«Cosa sei venuta a fare in questo luogo di desolazione?» Alzo gli occhi al cielo e una strana creatura, dall’aspetto in parte vegetale, mi guarda con occhi di brace. È gibbosa, piena di pieghe, come se la cellulosa di cui è fatta fosse stata ripiegata su sé stessa e modellata in un cipiglio per sempre arcigno. «Sono una Viaggiatrice, cerco tesori. Ho girato in lungo e in largo il mondo per…» «Zitta. La tua voce mi ferisce le orecchie. Voi umani siete insopportabili», mi interrompe brusca. «Hai ragione», la assecondo. La creatura mi fissa per un attimo, poi continua: «Io so cosa sia il silenzio più perfetto, sai? Nessuno lo sa più di me! Perché la mia voce lo infrange in mille pezzi, e le mie foglie sanno far ammutolire interi eserciti.» Io mi inchino con compassata deferenza, e proseguo: «La qualità del silenzio è eccelsa, quando si tratta delle foglie di mandragora. Il mondo sarebbe un posto migliore se si potesse utilizzare la Vostra arte, o suprema creatura. Ora è un posto troppo rumoroso.» Gli occhi ardenti del grande vegetale si accendono di lusinga, e le lussureggianti foglie lanceolate che indossa fremono di piacere. Proseguo con apparente casualità: «E’ un peccato che in così pochi conoscano la grandezza del Vostro popolo. Non so che darei per portarne testimonianza tra la mia gente!» «Oh, è presto fatto, bambina! Ti basterebbe una sola foglia per portare la conoscenza tra quegli zotici dei tuoi simili!». Sollevo lo sguardo su di lei, mostrandomi scandalizzata: «Non oserei mai intaccare le Vostre fronde perfette, o grande Mandragora!». Lei non risponde e si scuote energicamente, in un frusciare ricco e denso. Una grande foglia verde cade ai miei piedi. «Ecco: poi dicono che siamo burbere. Prendila, ma maneggiala con attenzione», mi redarguisce. «La vostra gentilezza è sconfinata!», e nel dirlo mi prostro esageratamente, nascondendo un sorriso di vittoria. Lei mi congeda con un rabbrividire di rami. «Levati di torno. Ne ho abbastanza». A.

Something sinister lurks beneath the bright lights of Los Angeles. Rookie cop Jayla Nofsky thought she'd seen it all. But then a routine patrol spirals into chaos when she encounters a fae, Ghira, opening a portal to Faerie. Ghira’s plan? Bring through her psychotic husband and set him loose on the world. Jayla destroys the portal, leaving Ghira stranded on Earth, but not powerless. She can control minds, proven when she turns Jayla's partner against her. For reasons unknown, her ability won’t work on Jayla. Ghira would do anything to reopen the portal, and she only needs one thing. Jayla’s blood. The key to getting Jayla to cooperate is an easy target. Jayla’s three-year-old daughter, Kenzie. As the line between ally and enemy blurs, Jayla doesn’t know who to trust. Her police captain? A sketchy fae who knows so much more about the situation than she does? Her estranged husband? Jayla’s allies' loyalties are uncertain, and every choice she makes could be her last. One immune cop against a fae who can control minds—the odds are stacked against her. But she’ll fight. Because if Jayla fails, not just her city, but her daughter will pay the price. @cgreutman @lovebookstours #UrbanFantasy #CoverReveal #LBTCrew #BookInfluencer #Bookstagram #Fantasy #IReadFantasy #fantasyauthors #FantasyReads #Ad #mxphoebesviewpoint #fantasybook #fantasycharacter #fantasyworld #MagicalRealism #fantasyfiction #fantasywriter #fantasyauthor #fantasynovel #fantasybooks

📖 MG REVIEW 📖 Max in the House of Spies completely surprised me, in the very best way. This is my favorite book yet by @adam_gidwitz I ❤️ Max’s story. I ❤️ learning about the Kindertransport. I ❤️ how Max stood up to bullies. I ❤️ Max’s epic plans to get back at the bullies, especially the bird seed scheme. I ❤️ the quirky fun Montagu family, and the 🦓 and 🦘 appearance. I even loved the fantastical creatures that joined Max. #MaxintheHouseofSpies is a WWII historical fiction with fantasy aspect. It wasn’t what I expected, but it was so much better. I highly recommend this book for readers in upper elementary through junior high. #checkitout Thank you @penguinkids for sharing this one with me. 🏷️ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #kidlit #middlegradefiction #middlegradebooks #whattoread #bookreview #historicalfiction #fantasyfiction #greatbook #whattoread #readaloud #librariansofinstagram #booksforboys #bookblogger #azblogger

There's a curse upon me! Whenever I properly research a book before reading - the synopsis, whether it's a standalone or part of a series, and if a series whether the series has already been completed, read a few Goodreads reviews if they are positive or not - I lose interest in those books/series after reading a couple and half of them. I DO NOT like those books!! I expect to like them, seeing as they are exactly what I'm in the mood for, and then the story takes such a turn, or the writing style is off-putting, or just the characters are frustrating or it limelights any of my pet peeves, that I just cannot finish the books and have to abandon the series. But! When I just read the synopsis of a book and think oh I'll love this and immediately start reading - I love that book! Then that book has just 10 pages left and I think there's no way this story ends here. Then I go Goodreads and find that oh it's a part of an unfinished book series 😑😶. Always! @the_court_of_dreams_ says I should have learnt my lesson by now, but have I? Will I? I don't think so...😶 Relation to this post? April reads have both categories of books. Church-Ashes - 5 book series which I gave up on book 2.5 and Wicked court which I absolutely loved then found out it's not a standalone, and we're not yet sure how many books in the series, when the next ones are out or anything...🥺🥺 #aprilwrapup #aprilreads #monthlywrapup #monthlyreads #booksread #fictionbooks #bibliophile #bookaddict #fictionaddiction #booksynopsis #booktropes #booksoftheyear #bookaesthetic #bookish #bookishpost #bookishlove #2024books #romancebooks #fantasyfiction #fantasybooks #romancenovels #rereads #bookseries #fantasybookseries

Author Ian Mitchell-Gill has lived a rich and varied life that made writing almost inevitable. Born overseas and raised in rural Canada, his days were spent playing guitar, engaging in athletic endeavors, and reading every paperback jammed on the shelves. Surrounded by great storytellers in his family and a close-knit group of friends, allowed his imagination to roam. This path led him down the road to becoming a teacher, and he started writing to create samples for his students to understand how a story is developed and polished. He and his students enjoyed the process so much that he began to write a chapter a week to share with them. His many experiences and interests proved to be valuable background for some of the characters and situations in the book. Ian lives in Oshawa, Ontario, with his wife and two daughters. He continues to teach.

My brain is gone. The ending of this book...eydge72be92bdyw9db 🤯🤯🤯 is an apt description of what went on in my head. This is book 2 of the The Daevabad trilogy, and oh, did it deliver. It picks off after a time jump and you get right back into the messy world. The politics and world building were on point. The characterization remained really good. While I did have a favorite character and others I wished would take a vacation they wouldn't come back from, all of them were well written and fleshed out. The book is on the long side and I don't know if it needed to be quite as chunky as it was, but I was quite hooked for most of it. If you liked City of Brass, it's definitely worth reading. #cityofbrass #kingdomofcopper #thedavaebadtrilogy #davaebadtrilogy #historicalfantasy #fantasybooks #fantasyfiction #bookstagram #bookrecommendations #bookreview

Non Queer Book Posts Part 1: Under The Never Sky series by Veronica Rossi. Tbh it’s been a very long time since I’ve read the first 3 books. I haven’t read the newest book yet. I didn’t even know it was released until I saw the book on someone’s insta last year. From what I can remember I enjoyed Aria & Perry. #undertheneversky #undertheneverskytrilogy #undertheneverskyseries #veronicarossi #throughtheevernight #intothestillblue #roarofthetides #bookstagram #dystopianbooks #youngadultbooks #fantasyfiction #booktrilogy #bookstagram #bookcollector #bookloversofinstagram #fantasybooks

After completing The Kingdom of Copper, I jumped straight into #TheEmpireOfGold. It simply amazes me how this trilogy of elemental and supernatural beings has delivered a lush and tight narrative that’s kept me hooked from start to finish. A marvellous #fantasyfiction series! #books #reading

What's the most heartbreaking story you've read? The Last Unicorn is definitely up there for me and the haunting scenes from the movie made it stick with me even more. A beautiful lyrical fairytale about loss and regret and how joy and pain are both part of living. I always felt so sad for the unicorn, forever changed by her adventures with the humans and no longer the same as the rest of her kind. #unicorn #thelastunicorn #regret #love #lossofinnocence #magic #fantasy #fantasycreature #fantasywriter #bookshelf #bookstagram #bookworm #readersofinstagram #instafantasy #instabooks #redbull #scottishauthor #scottishwriter #unicornsofinstagram #fairytale #storytelling #fantasyfiction #petersbeagle #loneliness #writersblog #blogger #instawriters #instablog
