I love when a character has too much magic, they can't use it for simple things anymore, they feel it pressing on them begging to be used, they can't light a candle anymore, only start bonfires

I started a book called The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale and Ani’s mother is really getting on my nerves, Selia is too. She (Selia) reminds me of my ex bsf who was super toxic and manipulative but idk. I like Ani tho, she’s kinda like how I am/was. Shannon Hale might be the first author who I’ve seen that was able to convey the insecurity Ani is feeling correctly (in my opinion)

Old art #11: Enna Burning

Shannon Hale and Books of Bayern were some of my favourite reads last decade. Here's some watercolour fan art I did of the fiery Enna.

Enna Burning - Shannon Hale

The sequel to The Goose Girl tells the story of Isi's friend, Enna, when she learns the ability to control fire.

Enna's brother comes home one day with an ancient sheet of vellum on which is written instructions for manipulating fire. But the power quickly consumes him, and Enna vows she will not have anything to do with such a dangerous magic.

But once she has one small taste of the power, it is hard to let it go again. War has come upon Bayern, and so Enna uses her fire to assist the war efforts. She sets rules for herself to make sure what happened to her brother doesn't happen to her ... but as time goes on, she realizes it might be an unavoidable fate.

It's a very thought-provoking story about balance and surrender. I was surprised to find out that Isi's own wind-speak ability had progressed since the first book in a similar way to Enna's power, which I wasn't expecting. Now I'm curious to see how the other books in the series will handle other magic types.
