I wanted to draw Mika But i didn't know how to do the background. Apologies if the background is not backgrounding. I do like the colours

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so looks like theres gonna be a is a brand new series by Alex aster: Starside. It’s a brand new series but from the synopsis , it um shares a lot of DNA with Larklight. I guess maybe bit more SJM this time with the TOG/ACOTAR. This is like the 3rd or 4th book released within a span of a year so I’m sure the quality is gonna be great as usual !

Some thoughts from reading the publisher blurb: (I copied and linked it below). It’s Lightlark2:Stary boogaloo

- MORE STARS! “Starside” lowkey sounds just like a repurposed title from the Lightlark series.

-Dumb names! Starside and Stormside are like peak Aster naming as well. Love it. Maybe they are separated by a Starfence made of starsticks. If there is not a Starsword in this book, I’m gonna STARt a riot

-not one but TWO Deadly contests! and they are also arbitrary timed every X years

-also contest where you can win magic…

-weirdly specific magic system where you claim power like the weird love bonding transfer stuff ( calling it based on the family “secret” in the last paragraph , she actually does inherit power cus she is just so special or old bloodline or something)

- no love triangle, but fully expecting one between Harlan and some bad (or good cus the guard might be the shady one) boy immortal

Synopsis from the book website: vvvv
