Dragons and Skylines: Book 1 Feathers and Gold Review

This book was interesting for me. It was an easy read and the moment a certain someone appeared you could tell they were a villain and once you figured that out, you’d figure out the rest of the story as well.

While I wasn’t a fan of the fish out of water trope with Grith, and I couldn’t care less for Chris, once more, I successfully guessed the entire plot of the story within the second chapter...it was a good read. Best book I’ve read so far this year.

Once the plot gets going, it doesn’t stop, I find it funny this entire story takes place over three, maybe four days.

Ashley was the best character for me, and everyone was well-written.

For any male readers who might be uncomfortable reading this book, especially during the first five chapters, I recommend you stick with it. What happens in the beginning is a prevalent thing for women and if that makes you uncomfortable, good. It’s supposed to. Just keep reading and keep yourself aware of these things. The more we read and talk about those kinds of events, the more aware we’ll be as a society.

I think in all, despite it being the best book I’ve read so far this year, I can only give it a B rating and that’s because of the trope with the villain organisation at the end. I can’t talk about said trope because of spoilers, but it’s one I really don’t care for and it’s filled with a lot of negative stereotypes. If you read the book then you’ll most likely already know which trope I’m referring to. If you want to know how to avoid using it, I highly suggest speaking with Jewish writers on the subject matter.

But yeah, the cons for me was that I couldn’t care for Grith being one of those fish-out-of-water characters. I figured out the main villain the moment they appeared, and I don’t like how the villainous organisation was handled...it was still a pretty good read. B out of S tier, not bad, will be reading book 2 in the future but knowing the villainous organisation is gonna keep playing a role in the overarching story, I can’t see the rest of the books getting higher than a B, but we’ll see.

one thing about ik is that she will always reach out

#obey me #art #i had the idea for this and managed to bulldoze through drawing it all without losing motivation halfway through #but Do Not expect me to post art this frequently in future #idk how to do panels so if the middle bit with the text might be laid out weird #i added the stars and feathers and stuff because there was a bunch of empty space around the boxes #obey me satan #jtta ik #(btw the crumbling symbol next to the exploding feather is the wrath symbol from in-game)#(with the pride symbol attached upside down at the bottom)#(not so much symbolism as it is just me whacking you over the head with the point but it looks cool)#i had a lot of fun doing satan's more monstrous design so i might try my hand at some of the other demons later?#i do have some ideas for levi (deep sea creatures are just really fun)#also happy nightbringer release day!! it showed up on my homescreen like half an hour ago and i was like “wait what”#for some reason i thought it wasn't releasing til next week??#the new genshin patch is today as well so looks like i'll have plenty to do with the rest of my free time for the easter hols #(i promise i'm also working on the next chapter of jtta but i am so stuck on how to get lucifer actually Talking)#anyway. here's a gold star for making it through all my rambling in the tags for anyone who did so: ⭐

"Fisher Sneer" 12"x16" acrylic and wax pastel on reclaimed PVC support

Had to make one of my favorite birds in this series. Kingfishers help me feel at home.

brienne but she's wearing 1949 cocteau's beauty and the beast inspired fit!!! this is the inspo pic i used if ur curious.

gonna be posting more of this redesign thing (and also jaime's ver) some time in the future but i just wanted to share this one <3

#brienne of tarth #asoiaf #mine.#u know literally just as i finished colouring this i found that some theater made an opera version of this batb #and they made belle's dress BLUE...which is a win for me and also not bc they made it light blue #but here it's supposed to be velvet.. idk if it comes across as velvet but that's the fabric of choice lol.#but im gonna ramble because i really like the concept... i love brienne in pearls!! i feel like pearls will be her jewellery of choice #and i talked abt this before in some post but i think tarth regalia would have a lot of pearls just bc they're an island #and i think they would export pearls alongside marble lol #i love brienne in silver and pearls BUT the reason why the flower thing on her cape is gold bc in the film #the pearl chain was actually a gift from the beast. so she's wearing jaime's gift. and i made the cape more silvery white (leaning on white #to resemble his cloak so it's like... jaime gifting her his white cloak..... hihihIHIHIhhihihihihi......#tbh i drew that concept before too BUT I JUST LIKE IT!!!!!!!! i want it to happen actually....please....thank u..#also the feathers in her hair is bc i want to accessorize her in a brienne way BUT ALSO supposed to be like the plumes knights wore in thei #helm. she's wearing trousers in the fit btw only the upper half of the design is based on beauty but the silhouette mimics beasts' more.#but anyway i really like this design!! bc it's a bit ott but also not in a way that seems out of character for her? idk LOL

And guilty I may be But don't give up on me In the wake of the Odyssey We will still be thick as thieves You and me, still thick as thieves

#desperate creatures #lyrics pulled from one of the many songs I associate with them via my four hour+ playlist. shinedown my beloved #also as usual I used this art as a reward for getting actual Responsibilities™ done #“spent an hour on Important Owed Art! time for some gay old men :)”#showed my mom and she doesn't know a thing about this show other than what I've splurged about... but she wants it on a shirt LOL #actually I'd really like some kind of print with it too. with the gold foil parts all shiny or holographic somehow? might look into it #good omens #good omens fanart #aziraphale x crowley #aziracrow #david tennant #ineffable spouses #michael sheen #screentone #angel wings #winged humanoid #feathered wings #PS I used a chain brush for aziraphale's robes #like heaven's bonds he's currently latched to

i can't stop thinking about sphinxford from monster falls i, metaphorically, bashed my head at a wall for like the entire time i was drawing this. anyway. since i have my own sphinx depiction i realised i can just blast everyone with a fixation from years ago LMAO enjoy some sphinxford. six fingered freak. the faux eyes are green because he has green vibes To Me while the actual eyes (and true third eye) are brown because thats his canon eye color. anyway i'm not gonna bore you all with my sphinx lore
