The highly-anticipated finale in Susan Dennard's New York Times bestselling Witchlands series. Paths converge and prophecies unfold as Safi and Iseult—the legendary Cahr Awen—fight their way across the Witchlands to heal the final Origin Well. With ancient figures rising from the past, the Raider King’s armies gathering for war, and the magic at the heart of everything dying too fast, the entire world is now on the brink of collapse. But when Safi and Iseult reach the Air Well with the Bloodwitch Aeduan at their side, they discover too late that Eridysi's Lament is not the prophecy they thought it was—and their journeys are only just beginning.

You had me at werewolf 👀

We’re advertising a book for readers of dark fantasy: The Hunting Moon—the highly anticipated sequel to the New York Times bestseller, The Luminaries—by Susan Dennard.

WHAT IT’S ABOUT

Winnie Wednesday has gotten everything she thought she wanted. She passed the deadly hunter trials, her family has been welcomed back into the Luminaries, and overnight, she has become a local celebrity.

The Girl Who Jumped. The Girl Who Got Bitten.

Unfortunately, it all feels wrong. For one, nobody will believe her about the new nightmare called the Whisperer that's killing hunters each night. Everyone blames the werewolf, even though Winnie is certain the wolf is innocent.

On top of that, following her dad's convoluted clues about the Dianas, their magic, and what happened in Hemlock Falls four years ago is leaving her with more questions than answers.

Then to complicate it all, there is still only one person who can help her: Jay Friday, the boy with plenty of problems all his own.

As bodies and secrets pile up around town, Winnie finds herself questioning what it means to be a true Wednesday and a true Luminary—and also where her fierce-hearted loyalties might ultimately have to lie.

Today's review is for the YA fantast novel The Luminaries, by @stdennard #BookReview #BookBlogger #Fantasy #YA #TheLuminaries #SusanDennard #FictionCafeBookClub #NetGalley #Reading

Today I am reviewing The Luminaries, the YA fantasy novel by Susan Dennard. Many thanks to Susan and Daphne Press for my copy of the book, which I received via NetGalley. BLURB: Hemlock Falls isn’t like other towns. You won’t find it on a map, your phone won’t work here, and the forest outside town might just kill you… Winnie Wednesday wants nothing more than to join the Luminaries, the ancient…

Just finished Ninth Rain yesterday afternoon and I need to say something.

This book is sooooo good, but I also got a very subtle vibes of Witchlands by @stdennard . Now, I don’t know if @sennydreadful has read those books but I have to make some parallels for y’all.

Witch from a nomadic people group and is exiled from her people because of an incident: Iseult and Noon.

Guy with big ego and hates that he’s crushing on said witch: Tor and Aeduan.

Mountain bats: Blueberry and Fulcor

Evil people who are returning from the past: Jure’lia and the Paladin

Starving, dying country that needs help: Ebora and Nubrevna

Witch who hears someone inside her head: Noon and Iseult

Noble woman that is trying to help but making everything worse: Safi and Hestillion

All I’m saying is that if you want to read a fantasy series that is like Witchlands or that is like Winnowing Flame, then this one just might be for you!

I asked you on Twitter and Instagram what i should draw more often this year. Some of you have written me on Instagram that they would like to see more book related art. So I decided to make small artworks for every book I will read this year. 💪🏽

I’m currently reading The Luminaries by @stdennard .

I love to make character designs for fictional characters, so I made a design for Winnie.

(You can always use my book-character design as reference for your own art. 🤗 credits would be nice)

★ Have you read anything by Susan Dennard yet? I have read @stdennard’s Witchlands series, aside from Witchshadow (🙈), but haven’t read anything else by her (yet!). I did however, have so much fun on Twitter in 2019, participating in the first #SoozYourOwnAdventure that grew to eventually be #TheLuminaries! And to see this book now, as this quite beautiful @illumicrate edition no less, is really something else! The whole aesthetic of this cover and book design … can I live in it? I want to live in it. Also, please jump over to @stdennard’s post today, featuring an annotated copy of Truthwitch, as it is being auctioned off to support disaster aid for victims of the recent earthquake in Turkey and Syria! The Luminaries was featured in Illumicrate’s November box and if you’re keen to add editions like this to your shelves, jump on the waistlist and use LIBRARY5 when you snag a spot! 😘 ★ HASHTAGS // #bookstagram #fantasybooks #coverlove #prettybooks #totalbooknerd #becauseofreading #bookshelf #bookboxes #bookaesthetic #myfavoritethings #quietandstill #illumicratenov2022 #illumicrate #susandennard #yabooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CoV-1PIrTQE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Winnie Wednesday, an exile from the Luminaries, is determined to restore her family’s good name by taking the deadly hunter…

I love how when @stdennard wrote Witchlands she put her whole soul into making Aeduan like Ezio from AC. I applaud her for that because Ezio was one of my fictional crush I had as a ten year old and now I’m rereading Witchlands as a 16 year old and my god I falling for Aeduan all over again.
