Five Days Until The Captive Kingdom’s Release

Five days until The Captive Kingdom’s release. This is a book you’re not going to want to miss. Are you ready for the latest installment in my countdown? (Also, don’t forget, if you missed the post before this one, check it out here.) Today’s post is going to be a little shorter, but not any bit less fun!! (And make sure you see the extra at the end.)

NOTE: Today’s post I will try very hard NOT to let there be any spoilers but be on guard just in case Also, the mood board will have spoilers so skip over it if you haven’t read The False Prince.

Let’s start off with my sixth favorite character.

And the winner for 6th favorite character is………………………….. *drumroll, please*…..

…………………

…………………

Yeah, I just had to make the wait a little longer.

But no more. Here it is.

Fink and Erick!!!!!!! Yes, I know I’m only suppose to pick one, but both of these characters deserve a spot in my list. So, Fink and Erick are both introduced in The Runaway King (book 2). When we first meet them, I wasn’t sure what I thought of either, but Fink quickly became a lovable character to me. I love how much he looks up to Sage and how he’s like a little brother to Sage. Below is what I think to be Fink’s most memorable moment.

“Listen to me,” I said to Fink. “Climbing up is one thing, but most falling happens on the way down. Every move you make is important. You don’t get to be stupid when stepping down, not even once.”
“Stupid?” Fink cried. “Like jumping off a cliff? Because that’s a really, really big step down…!”

Love it! (The quote was taken from The Shadow Throne by Jennifer A. Nielsen.) I didn’t say much about Erick, but that’s cause how awesome he is just speaks for itself. Really, if you don’t believe me go read the books (or reread them).

Mood board time!!!!!! These are my favorite parts of the countdown.

Ooh, all the anticipation this one brings! I love how Sage is like “I will finish it,” so sure of himself. 

Sorry, but there won’t be any extra surprises today, but there will be more great stuff tomorrow!!
