I’m still at the beginning but so far the writing is really good and the universe grabs you in pretty instantaneously. I’m looking forward to seeing how the characters and tension build.

Ryan Cooglar talked about Stephen Kings book on writing and so I had to get it, plus had to support @michaellaborn.bsky.social and get Cry Voidbringer by Elaine Ho.

It’s a feed that you can either hashtag or mark with “💙📚”

It was one of the first feeds I stumbled across when I joined the app, and it also lead me to @michaellaborn.bsky.social and mission to publish black & brown fiction authors with his Bindery Imprint - Left Unread.
