Drawing from her own real-life experiences, Sarah weaves pain, resilience, and psychological depth into every story she creates.

Her love for all things cute stands in sharp contrast to her passion for heavy metal, a combination that inspires the unique tone and aesthetic of her work. When she isn’t writing, Sarah can often be found daydreaming about her next series, listening to thunderous riffs, or building worlds filled with darkness, hope, and beautifu

Re-reading the first couple of chapters. And, oh boy...

I think I reacted the same way I did the first readthrough of this Vol. "Wow... Guts is a fucking asshole who I don't at all sympathize with."

BUT! Enter Puck, who saves the character arc, showing

A Grave of Chains by Sarah Vespertine
"This book is freezer worthy. Engaging through story and characters, you'll find yourself enthralled by what's within. Then crying as you toss the book in the freezer to cool off.
I'm ready for my second read."
Red Rising by Pierce Brown
"Really hit my fascination for genetics. Well done. So much fun. Definitely nothing traumatic in it... there is, there definitely is.
Worth ever second spent reading."

“Then came Mahrel—the illusionist who dazzled the world and quietly unraveled his. Just one of many who would twist Kowén of Sunridge into something unrecognizable. A relic. A
weapon. A name that gods would one day whisper with caution.

It hadn’t started with fire, blood, or death.
It started with a statue. One block of marble. One chisel. One breathless moment where creation gave way to consequence.”
Sarah Vespertine, A Grave of Chains

“When it ended, he was broken.
His Master's pet.”
Sarah Vespertine, A Grave of Chains

“Never forgotten nor forgiven.”
Sarah Eriksson, Forged in Crimson
