Today is the day, folks! Wyrd and Wonder 2: The Wyrdening is finally, actually upon us! It all kicks off here, and I cannot wait to see what everyone gets up to. It’s going to be an awesome month-long party, I know it! What am I up to, you ask? Well, let’s see…
Last May, myself and a pair of like-minded fantasy nerds took the plunge into a month-long celebration of all things fantasy. We invited all other like-minded fantasy nerds to the party, and we called it Wyrd & Wonder. This year, it’s back. Yeah, baby. We’re getting a sequel.

In the first quarter of Days of Blood and Starlight, absolutely nothing is all right. Including me. Major spoilers follow for chapters 1-27 (and for Daughter of Smoke and Bone).
In the final part of Daughter of Smoke and Bone, I am screaming. Spoiler alert.
In the penultimate part of Daughter of Smoke and Bone, we’re going back in time… Major spoilers follow for chapters 40-50.
In the fifth part of Daughter of Smoke and Bone, I WAS UNPREPARED. MAJOR spoilers follow for chapters 32-39.
