Welcome to the world, little book

I love this!!!!

Book A Wild Radiance by Maria Ingrande Mora displayed with party decor and a sign reading “It’s a book birthday!”

Aqsa's review reads: “[This book is unique because of] its take on the role of magic in the world as something harmful in ways, rather than always good... The story begins with [the main character’s] ‘brainwashed’ perspective as their only information on the fantasy world, allowing readers to slowly understand more about their world with her. A final thing is how the main character isn’t scared to take revenge.”

It's our first book birthday celebration of 2026! Today we’re saying happy publication day to “A Wild Radiance” a new YA fantasy dystopian novel by Maria Ingrande Mora (@mariawrites.bsky.social). One of our stellar teen reviewers, Aqsa, had the chance to read an Advance Reader Copy (ARC) 🧵
