My Book Fantasies

Hi, I'm Cristina and this is my blog dedicated to the all the magical worlds that can be unlocked within the pages of books.  

[starsreminisce]

I wanted to thank everyone who took the time to interact with my posts this past week and celebrate Elucien with us in whatever form they could.

Thesleepyfox encompassed everything I am hoping for in an Elucien book: a reformed rake trope bordering on historical romance with fantastical elements.

I can’t wait to see what creativity sparks in us next year!

@elucienweekofficial Day Three — Exploration

Our resident adventurers basking in the early morning light, cloaked in their natural element, and relishing in such fine company—together, as the author has promised.

I see their story taking us far and wide around both Prythian and the mortal lands, but it is the quiet moments that they spend together, earning trust and saying sweet nothings to one another, that is going to be cherished so dearly. The story of two strangers developing into friends and surely into lovers, all the while leaving their mark across the world.

Elucien Week Day 3: Exploration 🌷 @elucienweekofficial

As Sarah herself said, Lucien and Elain would love to be out in nature the most.

I like to imagine the two of them exploring EVERY garden possible, whether in other courts or on the countryside

Thank you @/ohma4y_for this beautiful piece!

“I came to training because I knew he’d have forbidden it. I came to training to get his voice out of my head. And to know how to stop a male if one ever puts another hand on me again. But none of it will ever bring my mother back, or the fact that I hid while my father took out his rage upon her. Nothing will ever make that right. But this mountain …” Emerie pointed to the small dirt path at the base of the peak. “I’ll climb it for my mother. For her, I’ll face the Breaking and go as far as I can.” -A Court of Silver Flames Chapter 68

Emerie’s future is full of possibilities as she accomplished so much for herself in such a short time. She’s a successful business woman with her shop, winning the Blood Rite, and becoming one of the first Valkyries in more than centuries ago. We have a lot to look forward to as her story is not finish yet.

@norabraveseeker and I would like to thank @mysleepyblue for this beautiful artwork of Emerie. She brought our ideas to life and created such a magnificent piece. Look at that wingspan!!! 😍

Dropping the latest Sketch-a-Wish, voted on by my lovely Patreon members for April! A scene from The Wicked King by Holly Black, Cardan and Jude pledging their troth.

This scene was nondescript on the type of flowers that were blooming in the king's chambers as they were professing their vows to each other. But given how they were both adamant that their marriage would be utilitarian and short lived, I feel like the room blooming over head was a sign that it was more permanent than they realized, hence the wisteria and its meaning. 🤭

Sometimes, they are that gentle, passionate love.

“But Elain… The Spring Court had been made for someone like her. … Nesta would have told Elain to visit this place.”

“She would have marveled — likely wept — at the gardens I’d become so accustomed to, at the flowers in perpetual bloom at the Spring Court.”

“Her sister’s delicate scent of jasmine and honey lingered in the red-stoned hall, like a promise of spring.”

We love Elain’s many connections to spring! We’re excited to see if her journey will eventually take her to that court, where a certain emissary is stationed…

Thank you so much to the very talented yuksiiis for creating this beautiful art of Elain. She looks so radiant here, away from the shadows and into the light. We can’t wait to see her bloom 🌸

“I’ve waited a hundred years—I would wait a million more for you.”

I do not have the words to express how excited both myself and @goghwilde are for their book; their journey. From strangers to friends and on the pathway to lovers, what Azriel and Gwyn have is very special. I cannot wait to immerse myself in their love story! (I also cannot wait for Azriel to realize that everything he’s ever wanted has been right in front of him this whole time)

A story built off of friendship, of mutual respect, of trust, of believing in one’s self and experiencing self worth. Two individuals that experienced the depths of the darkness and sought the light—that which exists within the combination of their yin and yang, of shadow and light.

I want to give a massive thank you to @jacqueillustrates for this stunning masterpiece! I could not have worked with a more spectacular artist for this piece. You have created something so very special!

“Something sparked in Azriel’s chest, but he only nodded his thanks and left. He could picture it, though, as he ascended the stairs back to the House proper. How Gwyn’s teal eyes might light upon seeing the necklace. For whatever reason … he could see it.

But Azriel tucked away the thought, consciously erasing the slight smile it brought to his face. Buried the image down deep, where it glowed quietly.“

Azriel’s thing of secret, lovely beauty (his future wife)

Just something fun!

If last year I commissioned Nesta celebrating her birthday with her chosen sisters, for today I asked the lovely Jéssica to create an art of Nesta being surprised by her sisters and nephew, because I hope their family ties will be strengthened and that they can have a more... light-hearted relationship. They have already proven many times, in extreme and stressful moments, how much they love each other. They also deserve to be able to do this at the simplicity of their daily lives.
