"I have lived a long time,” she said. “And the longer I live, the more it surprises me, and saddens me, how wise the young must become to live in this world"

(The Spear Cuts Through Water, Simon Jimenez)

fanart for the spear cuts through water must be literally impossible to make since we have so little info on what these characters look like

for jun, i think his head is shaved in canon and he has a straight nose or something (we only know these things because of keema)

like bro we don't even know where on jun's face his tattoo is and how big it is we just know it's a red peacock wing whatever the fuck that means?? i'm convinced i've never seen a peacock WING only their tails and honestly the entire time i was imagining he only had one or a few big feathers of the cool tail ones on his forehead/between his eyebrows (since it was described in relation to his father)

and keema? i only remember that he's taller than jun, and that his left arm is missing from the shoulder, but in some rendition it's missing from the elbow or mid-upper arm; i've also seen him have long hair in fanart but i don't remember if it's canon and if not, then i don't think that would be likely in a climate so horrendously hot

the empress? as far as i'm concerned she looks like black unwrapped mummy or a shriveled up date

i think the first terror's face is literally described as unmemorable or unremarkable, like he isn't even super handsome or anything

the second one i really got nothing on, except that for some reason i imagined him being blond

the third one, by virtue of the emphasis that needs to be put on him not looking like a human being, is actually one of the best described characters

You don’t learn much about Uhi Araya before she bravely passes. Maybe you pay her little mind at first, but you see her reflected in the few and can’t help but take notice. You see the respect and awe from her men as she leads in the most impossible of situations. You bear witness to the immense love seeping from every corner of Raami, and his utter acceptance of her. Then there’s Keema, with his reverence that takes you awhile to understand, but that which remains undulled until the very end threads of our tale.

It’s only at the end that you observe her under the clearest of lenses. In the spear he clutches. In the heart of a grieving, hopeful daughter. In the resilience of a name. She is at the base of this epic tale, almost slipping by without notice, until finally

We knot this thread.

And you see it. You see her and you know she is everywhere. Her love weaved from the first pages of this story to the very end, and somewhere in between, you realize you’re caught in the midst of her as well. Because, after all, this is a love story, down to the blade-dented bone. And she too shares this stage.

The fact that this book has no fan art is a crime.
