The way I feel after starting a new fantasy series

... Read moreStarting a new fantasy series can evoke a myriad of emotions, from excitement to nostalgia. The mention of 'Blood Moon' signifies an anticipated release that captures the readers' imagination and stirs longing for immersive storytelling.

This genre serves as a canvas for authors to explore intricate themes such as love, bravery, and sacrifice, resonating with the emotions they've sparked over the years. Every new series holds promise, as readers anticipate the journey ahead, often drawing parallels between their own lives and the adventures they read about. Embrace the excitement and see how these new tales can augment your literary experience!

but I think it’s a fantasy series worth reading
how many of you guessed the series before i revealed it? the poppy war is a grimdark military fantasy series, and it has a lot of disturbing elements. it doesn’t shy away from the realities and horrors of war, so if you find that content upsetting i would not recommend picking up these books.
