Read it last weekend in one sitting, really enjoyed it! Loved the tension between Genris and the druid, and I really liked the campfire scene when it touches a bit on the history of the Deerwood rebellion. Would love to read a story featuring a young Genris in his prime 🤔

Genris was a renowned warrior, a Rustborn, but now, old and weary, he lives a peaceful life with his grandson, Wil, a boy keen for adventure but blind since birth. But when a monstrous harpy captures Wil, Genris must don his rusted armor once more... www.patreon.com/posts/rustbo... #Author 💙📚 🩷🧙‍♂️⚔️

I love Tony Gilroy’s response on why Andor isn’t about the Force or the Skywalker family: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Utdu... It made sense for Andor’s timeline in the Star Wars universe, but they didn’t include fan favorite character cameos and it was stronger for it! #Andor #StarWars

Six sleeps until I have a book in the world 😁🤯

Happy Sunday, #BookSky! 💙📚 In Chapter 4 of Rustborn, Genris and the Elderwood druid Foxfire reach the cave of the monstrous harpy that captured Wil… New to the story? Here’s the first chapter for free 🫶🏻💙 www.patreon.com/posts/rustbo... #Fantasy #FantasyBooks #DarkFantasy #Author

RUSTBORN Chapter 4 is available now! Free subscribers on Patreon were reading it last night, but for those who haven’t subscribed yet, here it is: www.patreon.com/posts/rustbo... The 5th and FINAL epic chapter is coming next week! 🔥🔥 #Fantasy #FantasyBooks #DarkFantasy #Author #BookSky

Andor didn’t include Obi Wan, Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine, or any other fan favorites in cheap cameos and it was stronger for it! It’s refreshing to see talented writers like Tony Gilroy, Dan Gilroy, Beau Willimon and co. tell nuanced stories about unique, original characters. #Andor #StarWars

There are so many rich, memorable characters in Andor. Cassian, Bix, Luthen, Dedra, Mon Mothma, Syril, and Kleya (she became one of my favorites after S02E10!)… Who was your favorite? Also, K-2 is such a great droid… He’s like C-3PO meets Chewbacca 😂 #Andor #StarWars

Andor is the Star Wars version of the Wire. #Andor #StarWars #theWire

Anyone watch Andor? It’s my favorite Star Wars story, possibly of all-time! A nuanced, character-driven series with meaningful themes and realistic political intrigues. I hope Disney invests in more bold, original stories but Andor might be one-of-a-kind. Sagrona teema, Andor! 🥂 #Andor #StarWars
