Kinch, five seconds before he’s arrested.
Illustration of Kinch Na Shannack, from The Blacktongue Thief by Christopher Buehlman. Probably my favorite book of 2021. And probably in top 10 favorite books/authors overall. Maybe top 5?
Noticed that there is a criminal lack of fanart for this book. Don’t know why cuz this book kicks ass.
Fantastic voicey character writing as usual from CB, very cool and unique premise for a fantasy world, and an absolutely delightful protagonist. The world is dark and the protagonist is constantly eating shit, yet I’m grinning ear to ear every page. It’s just that much of a blast to experience the story as told through Kinch’s distractible and entertaining anecdotes. 10/10 very fun read!
Contributing to the non existent fandomwith my shitty art.
I present to you Kinch being thrown by Galva.
