I love this one too. Grab it before the price goes back up!
I would never forgive myself if I did not also recommend Daniel Maidman’s @danielmaidman.bsky.social remarkable debut fantasy THE EXILE OF ZANZIBAR

It is a work of art. Poetic, powerful, quasi-Hellenistic. I can’t believe it’s his first book. Profound literary fantasy with beautiful illustrations!

If you're an artist coming over from Twitter because of this bullshit they added, first of all:

Really genuinely sorry they fucked you like this & I think it's extremely reasonable to be crashing out HARD right now

Second: I'm gonna offer Bluesky tips and encourage ppl to share starter packs here
Man its like just so invasive and gross feeling to see "Edit Image" appear over other people's images. Musk decided to give us the only kind of gift he can for christmas, sickening disappointment. Best of luck out there folks.
