Margaret Welty from A Far Wilder Magic by Allison Saft
My first finished piece for 2024! Something a little lighter than my usual works but I wanted to capture the beautiful sunlit scenes from this book.

2024 books - a far wilder magic by allison saft
Love is not the sharp-edged thing she's always believed it to be. It's not like the sea, liable to slip through her fingers if she holds on too tight. It's not a currency, something to be earned or denied or bartered for. Love can be steadfast. It can be certain and safe, or as wild as an open flame.

*Britney Spears voice* Oops, I did it again
English title is A Far Wilder Magic
I had been eyeing this book for MONTHS at the bookstore and I finally caved. Hope it's actually good but please don't tell me if it isn't or I'll never read it

No one knows how to hurt you if you always play the fool. No one can be truly disappointed in you if they don’t expect any better.

Managed to pick up a copy of A Far Wilder Magic today! It's (allegedly?) based on royai/fma. It's a slow-burn based in a fantasy world where a 17 year old sharp-shooter (who lives in a crumbling manor!) has to pair up with an alchemist to hunt for the hala (the last living mythological creature) for untold riches (mainly she's doing it for her mother, who is an alchemist essentially driven mad by grief). The cover also just screams royai.

It’s a slice of buttered bread at a dinner table. It’s a grudge born of worry. It’s broken skin pulled over swelling knuckles.”

if you’re a fullmetal alchemist fan and you ship royai, read a far wilder magic by allison saft.
it’s a phenomenal book. the relationship is so good, the way it develops throughout the story from not liking each other to falling in love is amazing. it’s so gradual and hearing their thoughts of one another change is so perfect.
if you’ve seen/read fullmetal alchemist, you can see the connections and inspirations but it’s handled so well. it doesn’t feel like the author just took the details straight from fma and put them in her book.
there’s so much more I could gush about this book, but the gist of this post is that you should read this wonderful book
