Today’s Wyrd and Wonder prompt is fantasy landscapes.
Continue reading “Fantasy Landscapes”What landscapes or locations feel particularly fantastical to you – and why? Could be (cover) artworks, film / tv locations, places you’ve visited, castles, spooky houses, soaring towers in mountains, beautiful woodland groves, shadowy urban fantasy streets, pools like portals to other worlds – what makes your imagination sing?

Today’s Wyrd and Wonder prompt is “mythic.” The idea is to celebrate a subgenre whether it’s a retelling or a secondary world that has that mythic feel. When it comes to fantasy subgenres I think retellings make up the bulk of the subgenre categories I’ve read recently. I’m not saying I’m the most well read in this area, or the most up-to-date. Regardless, here are some books that reimagine myths or have a mythic feel or elements within the story.

Currently Reading: I’m currently reading The Cat Who Saved Books by Sosuke Natsukawa, which I received via NetGalley. If you’re reading this you already know I’m a sucker for books. Throw in a cat and I’m in it to win it.
Recently Finished: I recently finished Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan. I posted my review a couple of days ago. It’s a great book if you enjoy mythology retellings, or more specifically, Chinese mythology retellings; quests; love; betrayal; and a strong female protagonist. The last book I finished reading, though, is The Land of Never After by R.L. Davennor. This is another NetGalley read and, in a nutshell, it’s a dark retelling of Peter Pan. I haven’t written my review yet, but it’s on my docket to do so.
Reading Next: I’m not quite sure what I’ll read next. I’ve made great progress already on my NetGalley approvals. I’m currently on my third backlogged NG approval this month. I can’t decide if I want to continue this NG trend, or take a break and read Culture Warlords (nonfiction) by Talia Lavin or Field Notes on Love (romance) by Jennifer Smith.
