I decided I wanted relatively bright colours, even though his clothes would probably get dirty quickly in #Tombtown’s tunnels. While painting, I realised the pile of books were also a good way to pay a tribute to V. I’ve tried to do some freehand to represent the two book covers. I think even though I’m definitely far from being the best painter, Books & Bone is recognizable, and although mostly obscured, The Beautiful Decay is too. I’m very happy with my work.

3/3

Less of a discovery, I’ve loved reading The Beautiful Decay by @vicorva Before reading the Books & Bones, I hadn’t read any story with nice necromancers, and seeing the world through their eyes. This was by reading this book and a couple others that I’ve realized that perhaps surprisingly, what I want in books is not necessarily adventures, but seeing a character grow and how their relationships with others evolve. So thanks a lot for giving me the story to help me come to this realization !

I’ve just finished reading A Beautiful Decay by @vicorva Having already read Books & Bones, the previous and first book set in the Tombtown universe, as well as the shorter stories, I knew roughly what kind of story to expect and I was excited to read it. I wasn’t disappointed, and I absolutely loved it.

We get to meet the characters we know and love, and they’ve changed. We also encounter new ones who are just as interesting. They all have their own personalities, and I felt lots of empathy for everyone. This is why I value a lot V’s books : we’ve got a cool adventure story, in an interesting world, but it’s not a Wikipedia article or mythical legend. It’s a story with lots of people, filled with feelings. Even if they live in a magical world, practice magic and live with undead people, it’s easy to feel a connection. Watching them react to each other and their environment, and grow as a result really moves me.

So thank you very much V for all your stories. I’m looking forward to the next one !

Finally did my part and supported @vicorva 's #Kickstarter project: "Non-Player Character: A Cosy Queer Portal Fantasy Novel".

Not just because I want to support V, but also because I enjoyed her previous novel, Books And Bone and am curious to see what other worlds than #Tombtown she can create. :)

Not quite sure if I ever get the opportunity to play her #TTRPG "Kin" with people, but with the lovely artwork in it, it'll be a nice companion to the novel's world, #Vanthis.

Physical books unfortunately weren't shipping to Norway, but hopefully I'll eventually see it in an actual bookstore here. :)

@vicorva what does Ree think about ebooks?

#TombTown #BooksAndBone

@vicorva btw, with 'neko' being #Japanese for 'cat', would that perhaps make #Usther a Nek(r)omancer? ;)🤔

#TombTown #FamiliarAndFlame

@vicorva
perhaps worth also including #BooksAndBone and #TombTown? :)
