When Kingdoms Fall, We Still Have Each Other the Musical *FAN MADE*
As a huge theater kid, I decided to create a musical based off of the Falling Kingdoms series by Morgan Rhodes. It is available on Spotify, Amazon Music, and Tidal under the name When Kingdoms Fall (When Kingdoms Fall, We Still Have Each Other on Spotify). This musical is still in-progress so it is not yet complete. I am still new to the musical world and have only heard a few musicals that are included in the playlist (Wicked, Hadestown, My Fair Lady, Beetlejuice, Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812, Heathers, Vanara the Musical, The Lightning Thief, SIX, Little Shop of Horrors, Miss Saigon, and Newsies.) It is also worth mentioning that this is fan made.  Here is the meaning and musical procession of all the songs in the Falling Kingdoms musical:
Defying Gravity (from Wicked): Emilia and Cleo have a discussion about Cleo’s future. Emilia knows she’s on her death bed but only wants Cleo to have the best future possible. Elphaba is Cleo and Glinda is Emilia. I know it’s a bit odd to add this one, especially with the context. Cleo wants to put herself in danger to save Emilia, Emilia knows she is dying and does not want Cleo to get herself hurt.
2. No One Else (from Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812): This song takes place after Theon rescues Cleo from Jonas’s kidnapping. He admits his feelings for her and she too shares his feelings. This song is told from the point of view of Cleo. Takes place right before Theon is murdered by Magnus.
3. Chant (from Hadstown) : Skipping a few chapters and events, this song takes place during the battle for Auranos. Hades is Gaius, Persephone is Althea, Eurydice is Cleo, and Orpheus is Magnus. The workers are the warriors on both sides fighting for Auranos.
4. Dead Mom (from Beetlejuice): This too takes place a few chapters and events later from the capture of Auranos, or Chant. After King Gaius is placed on the Auranian throne, Cleo is used as a figurehead to gain the trust of the Auranian people. This song is from the POV of Cleo in her room, asking for advice as well as a sign from her dead mom.
5. Pierre (from Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812): After the announcement of Cleo and Magnus’s engagement, Magnus sings of his life and what he dreams/dreamt it to be.
6. Popular (from Wicked): When Cleo makes friends with Princess Lucia Damora (Magnus’s sister) she gives her pointers on how to be liked, and loved, by her people. (As stated in the series, the Auranian people do not care much for Lucia).
7. The Wedding Ceremony (from Miss Saigon, featuring Eva Noblezada): This song details the events of Cleo and Magnus’s wedding before the rebel attack begins. Also, the song of Kim’s (Miss Saigon) people I have interpreted to be a traditional song of the Auranian people sung during a wedding.
8. Skid Row (Little Shop of Horrors): This song is from the point of view of Lysandra and Gregor Barbas. Lysandra (Audrey) and Gregor (Seymour) sing of the poverty in their home village in Paelsia. Also, please ignore the fact that Audrey and Seymour are lovers in the movie + musical.
9. Why We Build the Wall (Hadestown): When King Gaius starts his work on the Imperial Road connecting the lands of Limeros, Auranos, and Paelsia. The workers are the enslaved Paelsians and Hades is King Gaius. Jonas, Brion and Lysandra are featured in the song (not really in the actual song).
9. Fight For Me (Heathers: The Musical Off Broadway Cast): Takes place after Jonas kidnaps Cleo for the second time, where they are on good terms, and saves her from the attack on the rebel camp. Cleo details how she knows Jonas will  fight for her, as well as cares for her, which she thinks Magnus does and will not.
10. Strong (from The Lightning Thief): While Magnus is observing the work on the Imperial Road, his mother Queen Althea visits him in his dreams to remind him to be strong. (I know the timeline is slightly off, I apologize).
11. Any Way the Wind Blows (from Hadestown): After returning to the Auranian palace, Cleo is exposed by Gaius to be a rebel spy and traitor which she is later sentenced to death for. This song takes place in the room she was locked in as punishment for spying. She details how she feels alone, and wishes to have the comfort of someone else.
12. Heart of Stone (SIX): After she is exposed as a rebel spy and traitor she is then sentenced to death. This song takes place in Cleo’s prison cell awaiting her death.
13. You’ll Be Back (Hamilton): From the POV of King Gaius after he finds out that Magnus has rescued Cleo from her cell and the two have fled the castle. Rumoring to be accompanied by a famous rebel leader, Jonas Agallon.
13. On the Street Where You Live (from My Fair Lady the Soundtrack From the Movie): From the POV of Jonas as he happens to be walking by the Auranian palace, disguised of course, to find Magnus sneaking Cleo out of the palace. Tension is high between Magnus and Jonas due to the recent death of Jonas’s friend Brion. He joins the party in hopes of protecting Cleo from Magnus. (I know this isn’t in the books but I felt it would be a nice approach to the story).
14. Livin’ it Up on Top (from Hadestown): After fleeing from the palace, Magnus, Cleo, and Jonas find a place to eat and rest at an Auranian tavern. At the tavern, the threesome meet an elderly woman singing about the harshness of life, but how it could be much worse.
15. All I’ve Ever Known (from Hadestown): When the elderly woman’s performance is over, the penniless threesome must find a way to earn money. The tavern’s owner overhears their discussion and offers a deal: Cleo must preform a song in exchange for money. However, Cleo is forced to sing with a biligerent Magnus to complete the deal. (The song was also chosen by the tavern owner, which Magnus finds to be quite evil).
`16. As Long As Your Mine (from Wicked): After Jonas leaves to meet with Lysandra, Magnus and Cleo are left alone to find shelter. Upon arrival at Limeros, it is insisted by a Limerian noble, Lady Sophia, that the pair spend the night at her villa. After the days tension, Magnus and Cleo are forced to share the same room together. During a discussion on why Magnus saved Cleo from execution, he admits that she is the only light in his life. This song illustrates the conversation between the two.
17. I Still Believe (from Miss Saigon): Told from the POV of Lucia ( she sings both Kim and Ellen’s part of the song) at the Temple of Valoria in Limeros. She sings  to Alexius, believing that there is still a way for them to be together. In the end, Alexius still kills himself to relinquish Melenia’s control over his body.
18. Burn With Me (from Vanara the Musical): After the arrival of Nic, and the battle with Amara at the Temple of Valoria, Nic, Magnus, and Cleo have to find shelter until they can safely return to Limeros. After creating a sling for Magnus’s broken arm, Cleo and Nic look for firewood to keep the fire they started going. At Nic and Cleo’s departure, Magnus sits at the fire recalling the night at Lady Sophia’s villa and the strong feelings he has began to feel for Cleo.
19. No Good Deed (from Wicked): (Frozen Tides) Taking place after the events of Lucia’s interaction with Magnus, Cleo, and Nic at the Limerian palace (with Kyan at her side), she sings of how the old her, who believed in goodness as well as kindness, is gone and she wishes to never do another good deed again.
20. No One Else (Reprise) (from Natasha, Pierre and The Great Comet of 1812): (Frozen Tides) After the wicked confrontation with Lucia and her new friend Kyan at the Limerian palace, Cleo recalls the first time she ever saw Magnus smile (during his reunion with Lucia) and finally admits her feelings for Magnus.
21. Wait For Me (from Hadestown): After hearing Cleo’s speech at the Limerian palace right before the arrival of his father and Amara, Magnus finally, finally, lets his need to protect her over come him. He sings this after realizing that King Gaius has kidnapped Cleo and plans to have her killed. He sings of never letting her go without a fight.
22. I Still Believe (Reprise Kim’s part only) (from Natasha, Pierre and The Great Comet of 1812): After being kidnapped by King Gaius and Amara, Cleo manages to escape from the Limerian noble Lord Gareth’s house where she was awaiting the King’s sword. She manages to escape by cracking a wine bottle over Amara’s head, and climbing down a trellis on the side wall. After grabbing a Kraeshian bow, she wanders through the Limerian forest looking for a place to stay for the night. She sings about still believing in her relationship with Magnus and taking back her kingdom. (Told from Cleo’s POV).
23: Dust and Ashes (from Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812): While wandering the Limerian forest for Cleo, Magnus decides that he is not ready for death just yet and does not wish to have death rip Cleo away from him.
24. Papers (Instrumental) (from Hadestown): After wandering through the Limerian woods, Magnus finds himself in a confrontation with a handful of Kraeshian guards under the assignment of King Gaius to find Magnus and bring him to him. This instrumental illustrates the fight between Magnus and the Kraeshian guards. (I also know this does not happen in Frozen Tides but I wanted to add a little bit more to the story).
25. Nothing Changes (from Hadestown): After a rough battle with King Gaius’s guards in the forest, Magnus manages to win but not without the cost of a black out. While knocked out, Magnus is greeted by the Kismet (similar to the Fates),  which are creatures of Mytican mythology that are said to know the future of all living things. “Nothing Changes” is sung by the Fates as a warning to him to not continue on his journey. Despite the Kismet’s warnings, after recovering from his black out Magnus proceeds on his journey to rescue Cleo.
26. If It’s True (from Hadestown): After hours of searching for Cleo, Magnus begins to doubt the Kismets warnings.  In spite of the dangers of rescuing Cleo foretold by the Kismet, Magnus decides that his love for Cleo is more important that anything else. He decides that Cleo’s light means more to him than anything in his life ever has.
27. Promises (from Hadestown): Told from Cleo’s POV, after escaping Lord Gareth’s house she comes across Magnus who confesses to her his love and his passion for her. He tells her that he cannot promise all the good in the world and she responds that all she needs is his love and a “steady hand to hold”.
18. Something To Believe In (from Newsies): After dueling with his father, Magnus and Cleo sit around a fire in the cold Limerian woods on their way to meet with his Grandmother. While sitting alone with Cleo, he mentions to her that she gave him something to believe in despite his father's darkness.
This is all the musical consists of at the moment but I will try my best to listen to other musicals to include more songs. I hope to include the song “Burn” from Hamilton in this musical but I have yet to find a place for it. Thank you for your time!

Immortal Reign
Things I liked:
- I’m so pleased with how this series ended! I love a good happy ending for characters! 
- The fact that the queer characters got a happy ending too was really great.  Im very happy that author went through with that story line.  
- I loved Magus and Cleos ending.  It makes me so happy that they got the happy ending they deserved! 
- This books pace was amazing! it had just enough actions and adventure to go along with the drama.  I loved that the author left the ending just open enough for us to imagine how their future will be.  But still gave us enough detail to know that they will most likely be okay.  
Things I didn't like:
-   Honestly there wasn't much I would change about this book.  The only thing I can really think of is the story line between Jonas and Lucia.  I find that addition to be unnecessary.  
Overall:
- Great book! Loved the whole thing, and I don't really have any complaints.  Im very happy with how the story ended.  I think the author did a great job! 
- Rating: 4.5/5

La Tormenta de Cristal
Tumblr media
TÍTULO: La Tormenta de Cristal (La Caída de los Reinos 5#)
AUTOR: Morgan Rhodes
Nº PÁGINAS: 475
PUNTUACIÓN: 9
GÉNERO: Fantasía, Ficción, Juvenil, Romance
En Mytica, las alianzas y las traiciones pueden entrelazarse hasta formar un nudo letal.En este laberinto de odios, intereses, mentiras y conveniencias, brillan con luz propia los lazos del amor y de la magia, que unen a las personas más dispares sin llegar jamás a romperse del todo.DESTINOProfetizado o no, el destino de los habitantes de Mytica no parece tan inmutable como algunos creen, y hay quien aspira a moldearlo con sus propias manos.VIDA Entre príncipes, reyes, traidores y rebeldes, hay vidas que terminan, otras que se resisten a hacerlo, otras que se reanudan y otras a punto de comenzar.LEALTADA pesar de las traiciones, los protagonistas del devenir de Mytica han empezado a forjar lazos de lealtad más allá de los intereses comunes o la familia.Una tormenta de magia arrecia sobre Mytica. Quienes no busquen refugio puede caer abatidos por sus rayos.
OPINIÓN LAURA:
Con cada libro que leo de esta saga, cada vez me gusta más. Parece que después de todo lo sucedido en el anterior libro ya van llegando ciertas aclaraciones.
Gaius demuestra una vez más que todo lo que sucede se puede ser cambiar en un instante, que personas que creías muertas no lo están y que pese a todo el empeño que pongas si las cosas no están por venir, no sucederán. Eso sí, también muestra que la vena perversa viene de familia, ya que su madre es incluso peor que él con diferencia.
La pobre Cleo recibe palos por todos los lados, pero demuestra ser la única inteligente, aprovechando cualquier situación a su favor. Amara por otro lado parece lista, pero es todo lo contrario. Demuestra que es una muchacha muy fácil de manipular si la tratas de la manera correcta.
"Aparenta confianza en ti misma cuando menos segura te sientas. Aparenta valentía cuando estés tan asustada que lo único que quieres es echar a correr."
A Lucia la tolero mucho más en este libro, aunque sigo sin entender sus métodos. Al fin ha visto la verdad, pero eso le puede conducir a más problemas. La verdad es que en este libro ha sufrido demasiado, pero gracias a ello ha acabado en muy buena compañía.
Con respecto a Jonas, no se que decir. Como siempre, va de mal en peor. Ahora llegando a sobrepasar límites. Y a ello se le suman sus nuevas compañías, tampoco muy sanas.
Con Magnus he sufrido como nunca. Tanto por sus decisiones y actos, como por lo que le rodea. Entre su padre, su abuela, Cleo, Amara y sus taaaantos enemigos, me extraña que siga de una pieza. Al menos, ya ha conseguido ingeniárselas para dar pistas de cuando miente a ciertas personas, cosa que le ayuda en gran manera.
Sinceramente, es una saga que con el paso de los capítulos va cogiendo más fuerza y enganche, lo que hace que sea una lectura muy entretenida y rápida.
"Además, las mujeres no eran los seres debiles que todo el mundo se empeñaba en hacerles creer que eran. Eran dirigentes, guerreras, líderes, reinas."

Falling Kingdoms Character Aesthetics Part 1 / ∞
I am my magic, and my magic is as old as the stars.
Princess LUCIA EVA DAMORA of Limeros
Lucia is a prophesied sorceress who can wield all four types of Elementia: fire, air, water, and earth. Fire, air, and water magic all tend to be centered on the physical elements, but earth magic includes healing as part of the capabilities. Lucia comes into her magic fully at 16, but has been raised as the Princess of Limeros, and the kingdom of Limeros believes that magic is wrong / evil so she keeps it to herself at first. Her father, King Gaius Damora wishes to use Lucia’s prophesied abilities for his personal gain, mainly for his hunt for The Kindred ( four stones that are said to hold the essence of each type of Elementia ). She is kind-hearted, passionate, and brave, but also quite naive and faces constant manipulation by those people who would use her for her powers. Ultimately, Lucia just wants to make decisions for herself and to take control of her own life.
Family / Pertinent Connections:
King Gaius Damora (father), Queen Althea Damora (mother), && Crown Prince Magnus Damora (Older Brother)
Suggested FCs:
Adelaide Kane (Pictured), Alexandra Daddario, Zoey Deutch, Isabelle Fuhrman, Lucy Hale, Danielle Campbell

Betrayal
Summary: Magnus hasn't seen his sister in weeks, when she finally returns she brings unpleasantness along with her, nearly causing Magnus to lose the most important person in his life. Rated T.
Magnus sat at the Council Table, looking over maps of Mytica. After receiving word that his father was off "visiting" in Kraeshia, he knew this could mean one of two things: his father was either alleging with Emperor Cortas or gathering information to conquer the lands. Either option was bad news for Magnus and his spot on the Limerian throne. As he was analyzing the route of the Imperial Road, a knock at the throne room door caught his attention. He got up and made his way to the door. When he pulled open the door, he was greeted by a red-clothed Limerian guard.
"My apologies for disrupting your majesty, but we have just received word that Princess Lucia is here." Magnus stared at him in shock. Lucia was here? She had been missing for weeks after running away to elope with her tutor, Alexius. "Where is she?" He asked urgently. The guard nodded. "If you would follow me, your highness." The guard said as he began walking.
Magnus was surprised when the guard took the stairs up to the living quarters instead of the stairs down to the main entrance. He was even more surprised when the guard turned a corner and stopped at a small oak door. Cleo's chambers "You must be confused; this is Princess Cleiona's chambers." Magnus stated. The guard didn't answer, instead he knocked on the door. Within an instant, the door swung open to reveal his sister in the doorway. "Lucia," he started but stopped when she pulled him inside and into a tight embrace.
"You're here," he said. "Yes," she responded, a bright smile on her brilliant face. "But why?" he asked, pulling away from her. "Can't I visit my brother?" She asked defensively. He shook his head, "It's just... after our last meeting... after you hurt Cleo, I thought..." his voice trailed off. Where was Cleo? These were her chambers, after all. "Speaking of which, where is she?" He asked, trying to sound as dismissive and casual as possible. "Not very far from here, actually." Lucia stepped to the side to reveal Cleo slumped against the wall, her body lifeless and unmoving.
He rushed over to her, taking her limp form in his arms. "Is she sleeping?" He asked, aware that alarm seeped into his voice. He patted her shoulder gently, then harder when she didn't stir. That's when he noticed a spot of blood on the back of her head. He touched it, pulling back when the blood was still wet under his fingers. Had she fallen and hit her head? But that wasn't all. After her head, he began observing the rest of her body. He pulled back her cardigan to reveal a large patch of blood on her chest, seeping through her pale grey dress. Her heart, she had been stabbed. Magnus looked up at Lucia. "What happened?" He asked firmly. She stepped closer to him and Cleo's body.
"I killed her," she said with a shrug of her shoulders. He gaped at her before shaking his head. He grabbed Cleo's wrist and pressed two fingers to her pulse. Nothing. She was gone. He let out a sharp cry of pain. This wasn't possible. Cleo was his life, his light. He couldn't live without her. "Why?" He shrieked, glaring at Lucia. "She insulted me. I'm doing you a favor, you know. " She said, her eyes wide with confusion."How, how is this a favor?" He asked, taking Cleo's head to his chest and rocking back and forth. "I hated her. You hated her. I solved our problems. " She smiled wickedly. "I didn't hate her!" He yelled, his voice breaking. "I loved her!" He continued, something wet running down his cheek. He didn't even care. His love was gone. The only person who saw good in him, who saw through his masks, was gone. He hated Lucia for this.
"I-I-I didn't know Magnus, I'm sorry!" Lucia stuttered, realization overwhelming her face. "Sorry won't fix this!" He shouted, cradling Cleo in his arms. His love was gone, his lifeline, his wife. Her smile could never light up a room, her laughter never seep into his soul, tearing him away from reality ever again. He was useless without her. A complete and utter mess. Life meant nothing if she wasn't in it. He remembered all the times he shared with her; Lady Sophia's villa, the Temple of Valoria, saving her from execution, the war of Auranos, their wedding.
"I can fix this." Lucia said, bending down beside Cleo. She placed her hands on Cleo's chest. He watched as green light moved from her hands into Cleo's body. Earth magic, she was reviving her. After a few minutes, she removed her hands. He watched Cleo's face expectantly, but after a few minutes, he let out a loud sob, pushing back the hair that coveted Cleo's face. She was just as beautiful as ever, even in death. He leaned over, placing a kiss on her forehead. He placed his face in the crook of her neck, taking in her scent of flowers and sunshine. Suddenly, he felt something lightly stroke his hair. He pulled back to see Cleo's face broken in a light smile, her eyes brightly colored. "Magnus," she whispered, placing her hand on his non-scarred cheek.
"You're alive!" He exclaimed. She didn't respond, but instead turned her head to look at Lucia. "You..." she began, furry seizing her face. "I'm sorry," Lucia said quietly. Cleo looked at her for a moment before nodding her head. She tried to pull herself up, but Magnus pulled her closer to his chest. "Don't do that again, do you hear me?" He whispered so only she could hear. She looked at him and smiled. "I'll try not to." She responded. He chuckled.
How had he ever hated her? She was so kind and forgiving, beautiful both inside and out. He stared into her eyes for a moment before whispering in her ear, "Don't you dare get yourself killed again, or I'll be lost without you. I care for you, Cleo, I truly do. " He turned to face her, her eyes wide, and said, "And I you." With her words, his heart filled with love, if it was even possible to fill more with his love for her. And in this moment, he knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. He couldn't, no he wouldn't, live a life without her. No matter what it took to protect her, he would
