An ominous presence in the mountains. He is a silent being, wreathed in the mountains' grey mists. Strangely, some choose to describe him as a more Bigfoot-esque creature. They say he is more flesh and blood, and believe he is a tall, hairy humanoid.

In twilight's hush, where dreams unfurl, A whirling dance of mist and pearl, Elven whispers, soft and shy, Brush the bloom of indigo sky. Watercolor shades, forever serene, Paint a world of what has never been, With tender strokes of myth and grace, In this serene, enchanted place.

You know what fantasy stories don't use enough? Different measuring scales, and confusion caused by them. Because before the metric system, practically every place and culture had their own measures for weights, lengths and distances. It would be fun to add that into a story for added realistic cultural confusion.

The average dwarf is four or five feet tall, but not in human measures. Yeah they're still shorter than humans but the dwarf foot (and the namesake measure of length) is bigger in proportion to their body. "Is that in dwarf feet or human feet?" is a common question to hear on construction sites, wherever human carpenters and dwarf masons are working together.

A dedicated local Common Misconception Historian has a pet peeve about the whole "princess Featherblade was only 12 years old when she led the attack on Marshland Halls" -myth, because the historical recordings on the human side are off. While she was remarkably young, that myth came about back in the day when humans were still trying to apply "dog years" to elves, and in an elven life span, 120 years is not a direct equivalent to a 12-year-old human.

A whole culture whose smallest unit of weight loosely translates to "about as much as an apple", and varies from region to region depending on the size of local apples. These people are famed for their alchemists, whose uncanny ability to simply measure their ingredients by heart, making their recipes essentially impossible to replicate. This famed skill is a matter of survivor bias - the ones that don't have that knack ten to explode into fine mist.

My Thoughts on The Mist Thief (The Ever Seas, Book 3) by LJ Andrews

Sharing my thoughts on the Mist Thief, the third installment of the Ever Seas series, by LJ Andrews. I was fortunate enough to receive a copy before it's release and I loved every minute of reading it!

I love the Broken Kingdoms series by LJ Andrews and the Ever Seas books that were focused on Erik and Livia, so when The Mist Thief had been originally announced it was in my wishlist. Especially when I learned this book was following Jonas, the son of Kase and Malin from the Cinderella section of the Broken Kingdom, and Skadi, who was the princess of the shadow elves. I knew there was more to…

“The mist is controlled by hecate—“

It was made and is controlled by manannán mac lir so jot that down

til that, although children's books seem to love sticking Merlin or Morgan (apparently usually both! as is appropriate!) into their stories when they need A Magician, there are... slim pickings indeed...? when it comes to actual Arthur legends for (little) kids?
