A quick piece featuring the character Morjune from Once Was Willem by M.R. Carey. I went off my rusty middle-aged memory here.
Loved this book!

Little bit slower month for reading this May. That is in large part due to being halfway through The Wind and Truth by #BrandonSanderson lol.

#TomorrowandTomorrowandTomorrow by #GabrielleZevin was fantastic and emotionally raw. #OnceWasWillem by #MRCarey was a fun Medieval Romp!

Had such a great time last year with M. R. Carey’s #InfinityGate and #EchoOfWorlds and can’t wait to read Once was Willem.

Props to @inkstonebooks.bsky.social for another awesome edition.
