Where do I even begin_“_ with this book? I had reached a point a month or so ago where I was just about ready to give up on this industry. Being a concept artist is hard. Its also extremely competitive and I had gone a few months with constant no’s from various companies, knocking my confidence and motivation. I could feel that little fire within me slowly starting to go out and it scared me because there isn't anything else that I want to do apart from paint. But I had stopped painting by this point (oh, the irony!). There was no passion left in me to carry on and I had reached my breaking point with it.

Then I got an email from amazon saying my pre-order of A Court of Mist of Fury had been downloaded onto my kindle.

I read the first page and didn’t stop until I had finished it.

Suddenly my motivation was back, my spark was back to paint and I loved it.

So this is my little way of saying thank you to the amazing SJMaas for giving me back my mojo, for her incredible writing and mesmerizing characters and for her imagination that has fueled my own.
