Read @maigadoocy.bsky.social ‘Sorcery & Small Magics’ & I’m making it everyone’s problem I’d endlessly read these 2 quarrelling while bring utterly exceptional in their collaboration. If u like banter, shit stirring & the consequences of one’s own actions, read this book. #art #SorceryandSmallMagic

Characters from Maiga Doocy’s ‘Sorcery & Small Magics’
Leovander, though bias narrator and world of trouble that he is, described Sebastian Grimm as a man that lived up to his name, having all the bearing of a thundercloud, with pale grey hair, at 21 yrs old, to match. The golden light he looks into does little to warm the focus of his hard features, nor soften his posture, made all the more unyielding by the lines of his black coat. Perfect pleats and smooth plains leading down his back to a flat, wide indigo sash at his waist, embroidered with rain over rolling waves. Over it a belt supports a sword hanger, weighed down by a rapier. The black hanger itself is embossed with wheat before a flower, while the sword is gripped in the shadow of Grimm’s quietly poised stance.
Nothing about said stance invites anyone upon it, and yet, only goaded by walls of any kind, Leovander is on him. The contrast between the 2 young men is stark; Leo’s barely restrained mahogany hair falls around his face and gathers in the popped collar of his open green coat, itself scrunched at the waist under a hastily cinched red sash. A generous collection of silver ornamentation, calling sign of the scandalous musician, adorns his ears and every finger but for the third on both hands.
Whatever is so occupying Grimm, Leo is ready to weigh in, eager for the game. One arm is hooked over Grimm’s shoulder, falling down his back with an easy temper, while a violin bow in Leo’s fingers crosses down till the strings rest atop Grimm’s sword hand. Leo’s other arm then secures the man into closer confidence, linking over the second shoulder while his hand is raised into the feathered back of Grimm’s otherwise neatly combed hair, where it guards a whisper. Whatever Leo is divulging, the curl of his lip is already smug in the certainty that the problem before them is no match for his self assured cunning, and however uninviting Grimm’s demeanour is, he shows no inclination not to hear the troublemaker out.

Readers... this AI shit in Amazon ebooks is something authors can't opt out of and it's frankly illegal, but when did that stop tech companies? The only thing they respond to (sometimes) is customer backlash — don't use this feature and tell Amazon you hate it. kindlepreneur.com/amazon-ask-t...

Thank you to everyone who recommended Sorcery and Small Magics. It was my read on a plane ride. The flight flew by, but I also cried. I mean, tears streaming down my face, crying. That f—ing ending!! I was agog. Highly recommend @orbitbooksuk.bsky.social @maigadoocy.bsky.social

Cover of Sorcery and Small Magics by Maiga Doocy — starry forest backdrop, magical silhouettes, wolves, moths, and a red flower with a castle at its heart. Whimsical, rich, and spellbou

4: Sorcery and Small Magics by @maigadoocy.bsky.social. Full of heart, music & magic, but with sinister & painful undercurrents I loved. Themes of love & consent blur with trauma & healing. Everything that makes me YEARN for magic to be real. I sobbed my way through the end of it. Sequel pleaseeee 🥺

A white hand holding a book, ‘Sorcery and Small Magics’ by Maiga Doocy. The book is dark blue and covered in green leaves, with moths worked into the design. On the left side is a quill and scroll, and on the right is a violin. In the centre, above the title, two white silhouette figures stand, one holding a blue quill, the other an orange flame. The centre of the cover has a dark red flower with a black tower in the centre, and two black dogs’ heads at the bottom facing away from one another.
