In the space of a night, Arlo is plunged into a world of blood and immortality and finds a group of people who swear to always have his back. Dying is never easy, and they promise him eternal safety. But something is after him, something no one could have ever predicted. He craves to figure out his purpose before he falls into something he can never come back from.
This is a queer adult fantasy novel, coming out on January 29!

I just finished reading Fallen Thorns by Harvey Oliver Baxter, and I could not but help noticing some similarities to another beloved book with an aroace main character. Both Fallen Thorns and Loveless are set in Durham, England. The two main characters, Arlo and Georgia respectively, are first year students at Durham University and discover their aroace idenities during their time in Durham (and both during the winter, funny enough). That is where the similarities end, but I just found it hilarious that we have two aroace books set in the same town, college, basic backbone plot related to the main characters' sexual identities.
That being said, the two books are completely different plot-wise. Fallen Thorns is a paranormal story that gives me dark academia vibes, while Loveless is a contemporary coming of age plot. The former is much darker (with all the vampires, blood, and such) and has a different perspective of Durham. Arlo considers the natives of Durham and university students to be mostly stuck up. These people only care if you are rich, and you are nothing if you're not. Characters advise Arlo to not join any student societies due to the cliquey nature of them. Besides the peace Arlo finds in the empty streets and beauty of the town, we see Durham in a more negative light.
This is not the case with Loveless. Georgia and her friends joined the theatre and queer societies. They made friends easily, and you never got the impression that there are cliques there. The perspective of both the town and college was positive. The closest thing to a stuck up person would have to be Lloyd with his aphobia in the queer society. I just got a completely different interpretation of Durham from reading this book.
Anyway, I am not from England. I've never been there, even though I would like to one day. I just found this interesting as I read Fallen Thorns and thought I would share my thoughts. If anyone from Durham reads this, please share with me your thoughts on the town. I would love to know your perspective also.
With all that being said, I freaking loved Fallen Thorns. It is a solid 5/5 stars and has a great plot. The aroace representation was beyond accurate. I really saw myself in Arlo, and the ending left me believing that there would be a sequel. If there is one, I can't wait to read it.

Disappeared for a month because ✨️life✨️ but I return with an offering (a desperate attempt for anyone to read a book I devoured in 5 days)
This post is Fallen Thorns by Harvey Oliver Baxter propaganda
Its got a very dark academia vibe, vampires, an aroace character, a very addictive writing style, more queer characters (gays and nb and lesbians its great all around), horror, supernatural creatures (aside from the vampires LMAO), found family andddd a decent amount of religious imagery.
Genuinely so good I cannot recommend it enough! There are a fair share of content warnings for it I can't list them all off the top of my head idk DM me if you're seeing this and actually care I'll get back to you with them <3
If you are (somehow) someone who has read this book please stick your fingers through the bars of my enclosure and talk to me about it I promise I don't bite I have so many thoughts. Please. I'm begging.

A Court of Fallen Heroes ( Azriel FanFiction )

𓆩✴𓆪 Summary 𓆩✴𓆪
It was a well known fact: the veil between the worlds grew thinner and thinner, so the possibility of a crashing was already a certainty. The rumours started a long time ago, but no one did anything to stop it. Luckily, time has passed, we went through wars and race eradications, but Faerie Realms and Mortal Lands stayed almost the same, some richer and some poorer.
Nobody was talking about the fallen, untill now, when the fates started working their old, wicked magic and gave us an early Summer Soltice gift: an unprepared girl who was sent tumbling from the sky.
Tumultuous and dangerous,
Bitter and heartbreaking.
This is the story of the Evening star.
About the young woman who holds the Sun as her weapon,
And the Moon as an ornament.
About the Cursed Crown, who chooses its own master
And about the man in the shadows, irreversibly bound to her, by the tongue of death.
And, after all, about us, the nothingness who catches a goal.
I am the Bloody Blade, former leader of the first legion, last of my kind, banished and tormented by dark memories and here is the beginning of our story.

Hello, everyone! I am new to the writing experince and also English is not my first language. Hopefully, this won't interfere with my work too much. I am sorry if there are mistakes, I'll try to correct them. I didn't give up on this work, but writing one chapter is taking quite some time considering the fact that I always have to check my grammar and if the phrases make sense or if they're too long. Sometimes, when inspiration doesn't come, I write them in my own language and then translate and it takes a while too.
Also, I have exams untill mid July. Med school it's time consuming as hell. 🥲
You can also find me on Ao3 and Wattpad, I always keep my chapters updated and corrected there because it's easier to read them.
Hope you like my work! Have a great day, babes!
