Just finished reading this book by @pjccahill.bsky.social and loved it!
Have rated it 4 ⭐
It took me a little bit to get used to the style, because I don't read much Manga or watch Anime, but loved the story, and the ending was amazing.

I can't imagine real actors to play my characters except one.
Stephanie Beatriz would be awesome as Branwen, Raven's master.

Was forced out of the house all day today to do adult things! How annoying! Now looking forward to having the house to myself tonight to do some writing, eating junk, and having my music way too loud.

#WIPSnips The word for November 24th is 'debut'. After shaking out a bag of synonyms I've got 'beginning' instead. 'The Book of Ashes', Chapter 2, 'Pilgrims'. Paul Brotherwell and Michelle De La Croix are making an attempt at learning how to work together.

One of my side characters is going through so much in my WIP, I feel like I now owe him an HEA at the end just so he's ok about it all. 😬

I hate the FMC to enjoy killing because of trauma in her past from a parent dying or being an orphan, so she has the opposite. And every time she introduces someone to her family they keep being surprised she has one.

The hardest part about writing a Fantasy with fight scenes is figuring out where all the weapons are at any given time.
