He squeezes her for a snuggle, not realizing that he’s terrifying. His best friend, the merman Ariel, shouts at him to: “Drop it!” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Anyone who’s ever had a dog is familiar with this scene. 😁 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🫣 What is the worst thing your pet’s ever picked up along the way? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #milifayart #illustration #giantoctopus #merman #underwaterlife #fantasyillustration #fantasybookseries #artnouveaustyle #inkandwatercolor #digitalpainting https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf-KgP2L6VW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

❓ What book was your last reading disappointment? Usually, I write reviews only on books I liked and enjoyed reading because it feels nice to share some positive thoughts and promote such books. And I rarely write about disappointments, because I don't want to spoil the fun for people who love these books and it's harder to write critique reviews. But in previous months I've been receiving some comments from you about books I was reading at the moment and requests to share my opinion when I finish. And if I liked the book I did it, but if not, you've just never seen my opinion. Now I think it's not really the best approach to the book blog, so I'll try to share different thoughts. So let's start with my last disappointment - A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E.Schwab. I adored the concept and the synopsis of this book so much. The cover was amazing too and it almost screamed to me how cool it was. And the reviews of this book were really good. But then I read this book and felt literally nothing. I wasn't excited to see what next, I wasn't nervous and didn't sympathize with the characters, I wasn't intrigued. In the end, this book felt like a concept of the book, not the real book. The ideas of characters were interesting and unusual, but they didn't feel alive to me in this story. The magic system and worlds were great as an abstraction but weren't developed deep enough in the book. And the plot was rather dynamic, but it didn’t catch my attention. I didn't feel the atmosphere in this book and I think that's why it wasn't real for me. I wasn't bored and finished this book, and there were some properly written action scenes and a nice mystery. Also, I enjoyed some funny moments. But for me, there was no aftertaste and sadly I have no desire to read the next one in the series. #book #books #bookstagram #bookreview #bookrecommendations #adarkershadeofmagic #veschwab #fantasy #fantasybooks #fantasyblog #fantasybookseries #fantasybookreview https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf_ifwerLCF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Snippet of the Day: A Call of the Sidhe

            “So, there's like…different kinds of fairies?” Cedric finally managed to ask, and the man eyed him with vague annoyance, though Cedric wasn't really sure what he'd done to spark that particular reaction.            “Many,” the guy said bluntly. “Are you going to ask for your wish?”            “Wish, sure,” Cedric echoed, though he still had a hard time believing it. The phrase however sent a shiver down his spine. Ever since he'd been forced to retire, he’d hated the concept of wishing for anything. “So, is this a no-hold-barred sort of wish, or can I like…wish for more wishes?”            Cedric giggled in spite of himself, while the guy (he still couldn't think of him as a fairy) merely goggled at him.            “Fairy Law dictates that you have captured me, and I can offer you one wish in return. In Otherworld, the stipulations would be different.”                   “Fairy Law…” Cedric echoed. He wanted to laugh again—it sounded so made-up. “You guys actually have a code of conduct?”             “Yes?” the man replied, cocking his head a little. His eyes seemed to shine like stars in the moonlight, and Cedric felt his breath catch a little. He really was gorgeous—for a fairy, that is.
