#froioftheexiles

I've read quite a few fantasy stories over the years, but I always come back to this one. The very best. My top favourite. The one and only.. 🍃 "And if the gods were to give me a choice between living a better life, having not met them, or a wretched life with the slightest chance of crossing their path, then I'd pick the wretched life over and over again.[...] I'd live it again just to have crossed all of your paths." 🍃 I bow to you, Melina Marchetta! ----- #lumaterechronicles #thelumaterechronicles #finnikinoftherock #froioftheexiles #quintanaofcharyn #melinamarchetta #favoriteauthor #favoritebooks #booklove #bookblog #bookstagram #bookstagramfeature #instabook #instacarte #eucitesc #cititoripasionati #cititoridinromania #recomandcartea

Well, these two are not as rough or savage-looking as I imagined the characters from the books (Quintana's hair seems very tamed in particular, lol), also this is not a scene from inside story, but one imagined by the artist... Still, I decided to feature this fanart, as there aren't many inspired from this INCREDIBLE series *sigh* Side-note: Oh, you beautiful and talented illustrators, what are you even doing right now? Read these books, fall in love with these characters and create magical artworks to steal our hearts with!! 😋 To be honest, Froi and Quintana deserved so badly a peaceful moment like this one, but there was little (close to none) time for tenderness. 💞 They own my heart, even though it's in pieces, as it broke for them too many times to count. I love them to the moon and back nonetheless - for their flaws, for their weaknesses, for their courage and strength, for the beauty of their hearts, burried deep in their core as it was, lol. Do I still need to tell you how much I recomend Lumatere Chronicles (btw, these are the books 2&3)? It's beyound everything I've ever read, the best fantasy out there! 😍 #froioftheexiles #quintanaofcharyn #lumaterechronicles #thelumaterechronicles #melinamarchetta #fantasy #books Fanart credits: http://collections-books.blogspot.com/2012/11/froi-of-exiles-fanart-giveaway.html
