She's a pin-up girl 💋
As promised here the additions for the first part of Sandra Branderson's Way of Kings (Part 1 ... yes, why only make one if you can split them, does the full hardcover copy of Brandon Sanderson's Way of Kings fit into this jacket, yes... it only shows how PROLIFIC Sandra is. All that slow burn takes up space.) As with the other covers, the amazing text (and that first ID) is written and put into layout by the wonderful @priscellie
💙💜 on the back of the cover 💜💙
“I’d decided I couldn’t do it, but you convinced me that truth was not as simple as I thought it. You’ve opened a box full of storms in me. I made a mistake. I’ll make more. I need you.” Jasnah took a deep breath. “Sit down.” Shallan sat.
In the cavernous halls of the Kharbranth Palaneum, where ancient secrets lie hidden among the dusty tomes, young and fiery Shallan Davar seeks more than just knowledge. Drawn by desperation to protect her crumbling house, Shallan sets her sights on the enigmatic Jasnah Kholin, sister to the king, renowned for her scholarship and infamous for her heresy and icy demeanor.
Amid sharp debates and lessons in philosophy, sparks fly in the most unexpected of ways. As the two women navigate the shadows of trust and betrayal, secrets of both heart and history are uncovered.
(Also, a bunch of sweaty, desperate, shirtless men learn how to use their spears, if you know what I mean.).

Mistborn Vin vs ATLA Toph
I’d been wanting to do a Cosmere/ATLA crossover for a long time (my two main fandoms!) and I finally did one. Not sure if this had been mentioned or done before, but Vin & Toph would be a great pair! ( For their strength despite their small stature, manipulation of metals, another side as noble and even… their bare feet XD)
I may not understand my hatred of fanfiction, but a good remedy is visual art ✨
Been re-reading the Way of Kings recently and… it’s a truly fascinating series of “almost”s. Shallan almost gets away with her theft. Kaladin almost saves the people be chooses to protect. On a re-read these grow even more obvious. It’s almost like reading the Odyssey with just how damn close they get to their goals over and over again.
Also I think I’m gonna start live-blogging my Stormlight re-read
