Rise of the Vicious Princess || C.J. Redwine || Rise of the Vicious Princess #1 || 400 pages Top 3 Genres: Fantasy / Young Adult / Romance

Synopsis: Princess Charis Willowthorn is the dutiful sword of Calera. Raised to be ruthless and cunning, her only goal is to hold her war-torn kingdom together long enough to find a path toward peace with their ancient foe, Montevallo, even if the cost is her own heart.

When violence erupts in the castle itself and an unseen enemy begins sinking Calera’s ships, Charis realizes a threat much greater than Montevallo is coming for her people. So she forms a plan. By day, she is Calera’s formidable princess intent on forging an alliance with Montevallo. By night, she disguises herself as a smuggler and roams the sea with a trusted group of loyalists, hunting for their new enemies. And through it all, there’s the one boy she can’t have—who guards her life but steals her heart.

But her enemies are much closer than Charis realizes, and her heart isn’t the only thing she has left to lose.

Publication Date: June 2022. / Average Rating: 4.09. / Number of Ratings: ~730.

Fairy Tale February: Week 4 Book Recs

Spindle's End - Robin McKinley

A retelling of Sleeping Beauty set in a land steeped in magic, where a young princess is raised in secret by two fairies in a far-off village, and no one, not even the girl herself, suspects her true identity. It's a bit slow-paced, but it's a lovely twist on the tale and the world-building is superb!

The Wish Granter - C. J. Redwine

Finishing off the month with a Rumpelstiltskin retelling that I put off for way too long considering how much I loved the first Ravenspire book! Alistair Teague is the Wish Granter, a fae exiled from his native land, happily taking advantage of desperate and greedy humans to get what he wants. When bastard prince Thaddeus is forced to wish from the throne in order to protect his sister, Arianna will stop at nothing to destroy Teague and save her brother's soul. No dragons in this one unfortunately, but the story is still just as exciting and satisfying as I hoped!

Book Review: Rise of the Vicious Princess By: C.J. Redwine

Post By: BookGirl Rise or the Vicious Princess By: C.J. Redwine Cover: So this cover did grab my attention but probably not for the best reasons. I didn’t really get it. I think the thing in the middle is a sword but I really wasn’t sure until I got a closer look. So it did get me to pick up the book. The sword appears to be underwater so I thought perhaps this was a mermaid story. However no…

I forgot to post this wrap-up here, but here we go.

May was a busy and weird month, but I'm still quite surprised by the stats. Anyway, here's a quick rundown of the 9 books I finished in May:

5⭐ 📖 The Blood Spell by C.J. Redwine 📖 The Argonauts by Maggie Nelson

4.75⭐ 📖 El Filibusterismo by Jose Rizal (yes, this was totally influenced by #mariaclaraatibarra)

4.5⭐ 📖 Untold Night and Day by Bae Suah

4⭐ 📖 The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

3.25⭐ 📖 The Liminal Zone by Junji Ito

3⭐ 📖 Homicide and Halo-Halo by Mia P. Manansala

2.75⭐ 📖 The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On by Franny Choi

2.5⭐ 📖 Poems and Parables by Gemino Abad

💭 I'm craving poetry books that will speak to me. I'm always reading poems here and there. Still, I want to prioritize reading poetry collections and familiarizing myself with a poet's voice and body of work.

💭 Still giddy from my experience with the Philippine Book Fest and in a (big!) Filipiniana mood!

How are you so good at planning and plotting the story??? Like I know odnlb isn’t even finished yet but you can tell everything connects and flows so well!! I’m a terrible story planner please share your secrets wackus T-T

ah anon you're so kind <33 even though i decided i wanted to be an author at like, 6 years old, i'm still learning the trade! but i do have some pro tips that help me and that i hope help you too <3333

read your favorite authors. in past years i've been obsessed with marissa meyer, author of the lunar cycle and c.j redwine, author of the ravenspire series. while their prose isn't poetic and pretty like maggie stiefvater (the raven cycle) or laini taylor (strange the dreamer), marissa and c.j are excellent at crafting story structure and strong central characters. i've seriously learned so much from them.

practice, practice, practice! i wrote this post on how i've been structuring odnlb which basically talks about how i organize it by a 5-act-structure. check it out if you want some more detail, but basically it's just me talking about the craft of story structuring.

don't limit yourself to just print. i actually watch a lot of screenwriting youtubers like lessons from the screenplay, film courage, and just write. you can transfer narrative techniques from one format to another once you've got the hang of it. and it actually makes the writing process super fun!

focus on character. baby wackus used to make the mistake of having everything happen to the protagonist rather than making her drive the story forward. the way i learned how to do that was by giving her consequences to her actions. e.g.) daenerys from game of thrones stops an old woman being killed (shows kindness). the old woman then puts a curse on her and ruins her life (consequence). dani then reacts (badly) to this, and continues the cycle throughout the series in the same pattern: action, consequence, reaction. character is probably the most important element to story structure, because if your character doesn't have a goal and they're just bopping around having all the events happen to them like bella from twilight then your readers won't relate and the story will not make sense!

HAVE FUN. take breaks. try different styles. if you do only fanfiction, write your own original story! if you're only writing original works, try some fanfic. write bc you want to and not for anyone else! write because you want to explore and learn and grow and you WILL. and then tell me when you're done with your wip so i can read it!!!!

The Blood Spell - C. J. Redwine

I forgot how much I loved this series!

Blue de la Cour works with her father in his alchemy shop by day, but by night she is trying to use what little magic she has to turn lead into gold. If she succeeds, she can use the money to help the orphans and street children that are all too plentiful in the city — some of whom are mysteriously disappearing.

Dinah Chauveau is drowning in debt thanks to her late husband and stands to lose everything she's worked for if she can't find a way to pay it off. So when she suspects someone in the city might be close to manufacturing passable gold, she will do anything to bring that power under her own control.

Prince Kellan is mere weeks away from his betrothal ball where he will have to make a political alliance with one of the head families. It's a delicate tightrope to walk, making sure none of the girls or their families feel offended or snubbed, and it's made all the more complicated by the resurgence of dangerous magic in the city, and his unexpectedly changing feelings for his annoying childhood friend, Blue.

This Cinderella story has probably my favourite utilization of the glass slippers ever! The mystery had so many layers to it, I was constantly guessing and continuously turning pages trying to figure it out, and the way it all came together at the end was brilliant!
