I've started a re-read of The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez and I really really REALLY love this book. It's inventive and stunning and just as engrossing as the first time I read it. A truly staggering work of art that every fantasy reader should experience. #booksky 💙📚👀 📚🪐

The Spear Cuts Through Water open to page 92 with a metal bookmark of The Great Wave Off Kanagawa in between the pages
