Where do I even begin with this duology? Although I haven’t read a lot of fantasy literature, this series has truly become the best I’ve ever encountered. The story unfolds in the kingdom of Blunder, a realm shrouded in thickening fog with a deep and complex history tied to magic. The citizens have a unique way of accessing this magic, which only adds to the intrigue. As I delved deeper into the chapters, my fascination grew with Elspeth’s lore and her family’s history. The author provided just enough details for world-building without overwhelming the reader. I became completely absorbed in the world I conjured in my mind. It was mysterious, gothic, and cold; the suffocating fog created a constant sense of danger, yet it remained hauntingly beautiful. I would rate this series a 7.5/10!!
Hare with young, oil on panel, Henriette Ronner-Knip (1821-1909)
Whoosh, whoosh. This is, now, the time when sun holds its highest place in the sky. this is when you step through the warm field of blooming poppies, lily sprouts, and tulip buds.
On this path of nurturing life, growth awaits you, welcomes vitality. Make a wish for a spark of life. Whether you seek a bountiful harvest, the blossoming of youth or fertility, The path of the hare leads you to the temple. Encounter his effigy. Offer him your devotion. Present your prayer.
When your wishes align with nature’s rhythm, only the hare can satisfy it. Always leave offerings—young fruit trees, tender buds or fresh herbage—to display your gratitude.
