New Meme, New Meme!

Oh! I have a new meme!

Ask me about one of my icons and I'll tell you why I uploaded it, what I like about it, what I'd change, and what I use if for.

Okay, there is a great series of books by Martha Wells that, when I do fantasy casting, I cast Keira Knightly as the heroine (seriously, she'd be perfect for it). There's even one photoshoot she did where she'd dressed in exactly the right period for it. I did a pic-spam with my ideal fantasy casting around the time the iconmakers asked for requests, so I got her to make me an icon with the text I'd used as the characters tagline. I use this a lot for talking about real life - it was my default icon when I was in France and felt like that phrase perfectly summed me up.

Ah, I see! I do recognize Keira Knightley, but I ended up wondering which movie the picture from the icon came from. It's a bit unusual for an originated-from-photoshoot icon to have such substance in the text, so.. yeah.

Just from curiosity, what are the titles of the books? I need some good reading material for my one-week-holiday.

The first novel is The Wizard Hunters, next is the Ships of Air and the finale book is called 'Gate of the Gods'

I would HIGHLY recommend them. Imagine England and France are one country, getting attacked not by the Germans but by a mysterious enemy from a different dimension and while working on a secret weapon to use against them, Our Heroine and a group of her fellows get shifted into another dimension (also being attached by the same enemy), where she meets with two classic 'barbarian warriors' - only their culture is a more tropical location and the most functional and realistic matriarchal so I've read.

I love historical-slash-fantasy(I picked up a more sci-fi vibe from your description though)-genre novels, so.. yeah. Why not.

Thank you!
