I have not!
I saved When the Moon Hatched for when I want a vibrant book.
And I’m on the fence for Fate Inked in Blood - I lived in Norway and took Viking history and mythology classes so sometimes I get kinda irked when things aren’t correct, or enough so.

Was it really good? Should I try?

I mean, we all know that authors often pull from mythologies. But usually it’s European ideas that get usurped. Using East Asian mythology for inspiration would be really cool. I’ve read some African mythology inspired books and they were amazing.

There are three points in that myth: 1. Quest for a remedy for a sick king. 2. Quest to rescue Stolen princesses (descent into a lower world to rescue three kidnapped princesses). 3. Quest of Magical Flight (hero meets villains daughter and falls in love, father imposes hero tasks to prove love)

Who has healing powers

I think Arndarna is a dragon princess.

In Filipino folklore - there’s a magical winged bird named Arndarna, who is a princess

Wow those are beaaaautiful!

We should make signs: Don’t talk to me while reading 🤝

I’ve also been finding moments where —- time seems to stop, or slow. When things get bad and people Violet loves are about to die - time slows and somehow they’re out of danger.

I’ve been finding so many little snippets - Andarna reflects the colors of other dragons around her. Not overtly, but very subtle. Like a chameleon? Or maybe pulling aspects of the other dragons power or maybe their riders?

Violet is capable of absolute power as light and energy. Can that power a forge? Like a luminary maybe, but more sophisticated enough to help channel power to make new runes 🤓

I really want to real When the Moon Hatched, but I’m anxious excited for it to be a GOOD book, and it’s something special? So for some reason I don’t read it.
Like buying porcelain but only using it for a holiday.
Idk it’s stupid.
Okay, you’ve convinced me - I’ll read it after Onyx Storm. 🍻

That is one of the coolest tattoos I have ever seen, no lie.
