🪶 REVIEW DROP! 🪶
A beautiful story that reminded me of THE ALCHEMIST by Paolo Coelho. THE WINGSPAN OF TREASON by @inknest.bsky.social is that wonderful of a debut. An absolute must read that I can't recommend enough (and have a look at that goodie box!)

The fact that writers are expected to endure the worst shit the publishing industry can throw at them and continue to create art does not show how strong they are, it shows how fucked up the system is.
