Fantasy Love February: Fan Art


So I'm not good at this sort of thing, by any means ... but I'm doing this for part of a challenge! In this one, you must do some kind of fan art for a fantasy book (or series) you've read.

You can read more about this particular mini-challenge created by Grace @ Fictionally for the Fantasy Love February Reading Challenge HERE.

And behold, my rather poor attempt at giving Tricia Mingerink's amazing fantasy series a photo shoot ... *wink*






This month, I got the chance to beta-read Defy, book three of this series, THE BLADES OF ACKTAR. I read it as part of the fantasy reading challenge, and absolutely loved it!! <3 I don't think there's a release date yet, but I will let you know when Tricia Mingerink gives us that information! *smiles*

If you would like to know more about this series, visit Tricia's site! Also, feel free to read my reviews of Dare and Deny, the books featured in my photo shoot! ^_^

  1. Good pictures! I LOVE that dagger- definitely fantasy-ish. And I like how you put the cross necklace on it. :-D
    I've never read this series before, but you have me interested... *goes to find on Goodreads*

    1. Thank you, Grace! :)

      One of the main characters in this series wears a cross necklace (her younger sister does too). And there's this storyline with an assassin-of-sorts ... so yeah, daggers!

      You should totally check them out! They're amazing! ^_^

  3. Oh, I loved all the pictures! The dagger was perfect. :) And you've just made me realize how much I love these books!! :D
    AUGH!!!I can't wait to read "Defy"! Although I probably should write my review for "Deny" first. . . I just can't figure out how to put all the feelings I had for it into words. ;)

  5. I love how you set up these photos! The focus in the forth one is pretty cool, but I think my favorite is the last one. Dare has been on my TBR list for some time now, but I haven't managed to get my hands on a copy yet. :P
