Friday Favourites – Magic Systems

This is hosted by Something of the Book who created this tag out of a love for lists. There are different topics for us all to be able to take part and you can find the prompts here.

There isn’t a specific number of favourites so it’s entirely up to you how many you share. You can share your most or least favourites too!

I love fantasy worlds with their own magic systems! They’re all so different and I love seeing the different spins to how they use magic in these worlds! So these are some of my favourite magic systems:

1 A Darker Shade of Magic – I love how there’s an antari in each London and only they can travel between the Londons.

2 The Grisha Trilogy – The whole magic system is so great! I always found the way the system works so interesting and how it combines science.

3 Harry Potter – Okay so of course I had to include this! Being a wizard and attending Hogwarts was all I wanted to do as a kid…admit you all waited for your Hogwarts letter too!

4 Shadowhunters – I love how they use runes to enhance different abilities and I think it would be so useful to be able to do this!

5 The Daevabad Trilogy – The jinns have different abilities and some are more powerful than others. From being able to conjure fire to being able to shape shift! Though Nahri’s abilities are my favourite, she can pick up any language instantly and be able to heal herself and others.

6 The Lunar Chronicles – The Lunars powers are quite terrifying to be honest but I still love it!

So these are some of my favourite magic systems! What magic systems do you love?

Fairyloot Unboxing – September Starcrossed Swoons Box

Hey booknerds! It’s time for another unboxing! This is the Fairyloot Starcrossed Lovers September box. I was so excited for this box as I had a pretty good idea about what book would be included and it’s a book I had read and fallen completely in love with. Plus the other items were from some of y favourite fandoms!

So lets get to the unboxing!

The first thing that was included in this box is a Bella and Edward candle by Nerd Poured Candles. It has lovely scent of apples, pine and cedarwood.

They also included a really unique item that is also really useful! This is a Strange the Dreamer inspired apron! It was designed by Literary Life Co. It’s so pretty I almost don’t want to use it!

The next thing they included was another unique item which was ACOTAR inspired shoelaces! It was designed by Fictiontea Designs and has all the courts on them.

They included a beautiful constellation notebook with a quote from The Star Touched Queen. This was designed by Read At Midnight.

They also included a set of postcards each featuring starcrossed lovers from different fandoms! There was Julian and Emma from The Dark Artifices, Rhysand and Feyre from ACOTAR and Cassian and Nesta also from ACOTAR. They also included Amar and Maya from The Star Touched Queen and Lazlo and Saarai from Strange the Dreamer. The amazing artwork is by Taratjah.

The last thing included was a love rune enamel pin and an angelic fire runes candle matches both designed by Fictiontea Designs. I love them both!

The book that was included this month was Mirage by Somaiya Daud. I read an arc of this book and loved it so I’m so happy to have this edition with an exclusive cover with purple sprayed pages. They also included an author letter and artwork of the main characters by Gabriella Bujdoso.

The extras included this month was a sampler of Queen of Air and Darkness, Tempests and Slaughter bookmark and a Muse of Nightmares postcard.

I adored everything in this box and I’m really looking forward to getting the October box!
