“And then there were a few mortals—a very small handful—who spun the night hours into song and music and stories and poetry and painting. These were the ones who Ari was most drawn to...” . . 🌟QOTD: Do you like to read mythology? . . Hello friends and happy Sunday!! Today I am bringing you an extra special cosplay inspired by a myth from Rebecca Ross’s upcoming book Sisters of Sword & Song! This myth tells the story of how the goddess of night creates a shawl made of starlight that nothing can piece for a young princess. When I first read this story I fell in love with the idea of a shawl made of starlight!! I mean who wouldn’t want something as beautiful as that...I guess the impenetrable part is pretty great too!! Plus I am a total night owl and work night shift so I was really drawn to this one! If you want to read the full myth (or one of the others) be sure to order your signed and personalized copy of Sisters of Sword & Song from @gcreading to get one of the beautiful myth cards Rebecca designed!! I cannot wait for this book to come out on June 23!! If you want to know more about this book check out the link in my bio for the Goodreads page! Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday!! . . #sistersofswordandsong #rebeccaross #bronzelegionmission2 #streetteam #shelfiesunday #sundayshelfie #cosplay #bookstagram #ventureswithbooks #instareads #booknerd #booksofinstagram #booklife #bookworm #yafiction #yabooks #bookishfeatures #rainbowbookshelf #rainbowbooks #bookstagramer #bookstagramit #bookaesthetic #rainbowshelf https://www.instagram.com/p/CA3J1mDA0xf/?igshid=18thyjg728y57

“Magic was not at all what she had thought it to be.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!! . . #sistersofswordandsong #bronzelegion #rebeccaross #rebeccarossauthor #streetteam #bookstagram #ventureswithbooks #instareads #booknerd #booksofinstagram #booklife #bookworm #yafiction #yabooks #bookishfeatures #rainbowbookshelf #rainbowbooks #bookstagramer #bookstagramit #bookaesthetic #rainbowshelf https://www.instagram.com/p/CCwkSMJgAI1/?igshid=z3ko6pebh4zh

“All this time she had been telling herself to let go, let go. But there was beauty and strength in the holding on.” - Sisters of Sword and Song . . 🌟QOTD: Would you rather be a mage, a scribe or a warrior? . . Hello again my friends!! I’m back again to bring you my creative review for Sisters of Sword and Song!! I always have such a blast creating these and this one was no different! . Sisters of Sword and Song tells the story of two sisters, Evadne and Halcyon. It’s been 8 years since either sister has seen each other and their reunion is not exactly what either had in mind. Halcyon is running from her commander because of a murder she committed. Halcyon faces justice but Evadne, tired of being separated from her sister and wanting to protect her, volunteers to take half of her sentence. Now Halcyon is on her way to a prison while Evadne is sent to serve in the commander’s household. Both girls are determined to just survive their fates but get pulled into a much deeper conspiracy then they could have imagined. . This book was incredible!! The storyline is cloaked in secrets with one twist after another leaving you wondering what is going to happen next. Rebecca does an amazing job of creating this Roman inspired world filled with magic and mages, scribes and warriors, gods and relics! She even includes little myths within the story. But by far my favorite part was the beautiful love story of these two sisters. Evadne and Halcyon couldn't be more different but their love for each other is endless and you can feel it through the book. . Check out my full review on Goodreads! I can not recommend this book enough and I hope you all order it ASAP/add it to your TBR!! Have a great day!! . . #creativereview #sistersofswordandsong #rebeccaross #epicreads #bookreview #bronzelegion #creativebookreview #creativebookstagram #bookstagram #ventureswithbooks #instareads #booknerd #booksofinstagram #booklife #bookworm #yafiction #yabooks #bookishfeatures #rainbowbookshelf #rainbowbooks #bookstagramer #bookstagramit #bookaesthetic #rainbowshelf https://www.instagram.com/p/CByyjztAgks/?igshid=1e5qn4svire9c

Sisters of Sword & Song is a story of mythology, of sisterhood and family, of magical relics and of mages. One of my favorite things about @beccajross 's writing are the worlds she builds. Just like in The Queen’s Rising, Sisters comes with a map of the land and its entire own mythology system of Nine Divines and earthly relics they left behind on Earth. She writes such a lush and realistic world I don’t often see in YA books. This world mimics ancient Greece, but it’s so much more than that. Sisters of Sword & Song is fast paced, not wasting a single second. Needless to say, I adored this story. Q: What is your favorite standalone fantasy book? I need more standalones in my life. I know a lot of people enjoy series, but I've been in a mood for one and done standalone books lately. I don't have time to always reread and series are a real commitment - so I like standalone or even duologies. I appreciate when an author can put everything they need to in one book. Don't get me wrong, I love series too (have you met me and my obsession with the Shadowhunter world? Hi.) but every now and then its nice to change it up. I ordered this signed & personalized copy from @gcreading and I'm so happy to have a personalized & signed copy of one of Rebecca's books now! One day I'll meet her in person and come with a stack of books/arcs of hers to sign, but for now, I'm going to cherish this. I love that this preorder also came with one of the myth cards - I received Acantha's Crown! Its a neat preorder incentive. I actually listened to this story as an #audiobook and loved that this story is told in both sisters perspectives, and thus the audiobook has two distinct narrators, one for each sister! They each had a very different tone of voice which helped me differentiate between the sisters when listening. Sometimes narrators sound similar but I was glad these did not. I would recommend this as an audiobook if that is your thing.

How do you feel about mythology? Do you have a favorite myth. 🌿⚔️🏹 Sisters of Sword and Song is heavy with mythology and magic, and @beccajross even created four different myths for this book! I love when authors build a world so throughly and Rebecca Ross does just that with Sisters (and her previous duology, The Queen's Rising!). The world she creates is so lush and so REAL! Of the four myths in Sisters, Ari's Shawl of Stars is my favorite. So I decided to try and create a shawl of stars of my own with some scrap fabric I had! I had a lot of fun with this solo photoshoot, just waiting for the sun to set - which was perfect perfect, since Ari is a goddess of the night. While most sleep at night, there are those who create art at night (like myself, I relate, as I sat editing these photos past midnight lol) and Ari is drawn to those - one princess in particular. When the princess is called to war, Ari wants to protect her, so she weaves her a shawl of stars. 🕸✨This myth just spoke to me and touched me. Q: Are you a night person or a morning person? I always feel most alive at night. This is just one of four myths you'll find in Sisters of Sword & Song, out June 23 (SOON YOU GUYS SOON!!!) and I can't wait for you all to experience this magical book. 3rd photo by Rebecca Ross. #bookishgirlshunt - Magic #tbrbookphoto - Look forward to #PixieBookPix - meet the bookstagramer #sundaystack - Books you can't wait to read #SistersofSwordandSong #BronzeLegionMission2 #RebeccaRoss #bookishcosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/CA2xXL4gkR4/?igshid=45ilwzbexyr

Hey Bookdragons! Do you like mythology? I love Greek, Norse, and Celtic mythology. This week the #sistersofswordandsong street team got to read about four of the myths from the book. • • Ari’s Shawl of Stars spoke to me the most as Ari is the Goddess of Night and most of the time I feel like a creature of night because it’s when I feel most active and creative. • • Read about Ari’s Shawl of Stars and the other myths in Sisters of Sword and Song by @beccajross out June 23!
