🪶 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!) My full review for @sffinsiders.com 🔗👇

I lose my grip on Claudia, and she flies backwards as I fall. There’s a thuthunk-thuthunk-thuthunkboom, and for one desperate second I think the thuthunkbooming is me and I’ve fallen and a sex-mad elk has speared me with his antlers and decapitated me. I’m dying, accompanied by the background music of my own head rolling across the forest floor.

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.

Happy book birthday @annabelcwrites.bsky.social. You should totally pick The Outcast Mage, not only for the epic fantasy feeling, but also because it's excellent at treating themes such as class war and not finding your place. And why not, here's my review: jamreads.com/reviews/the-...
