I’ve noticed there’s a sad lack of Deltora Quest fanart around, so I figured I should just do some! I decided I’d start with Jasmine since I always had the clearest image of her, and frankly feral girl living in the woods with animal friends was like my childhood aesthetic. I made Filli a tiny possum, since that’s how I’d always imagined him. (Also Jasmine’s hair is browner than I meant it to be but oops never mind.)
I absolutely LOVED these books as a kid, even if they did occasionally give me nightmares. I mean, there’s so many horrifying moments, like a giant disgusting slug that encases people in hard saliva and drinks their innards? Horrible riddle monsters that bite off a finger every time you answer wrong? These books are labelled for children, Emily why!!? (These are absolutely NOT even the worst things though honestly. You have been warned.)
But in any case, all of Emily Rodda’s books are a fairly quick but engrossing read, and the puzzles were always a fun little challenge. I’d definitely recommend giving them a look jf you’re at all into fantasy!
