Here are a bunch of variants of the same picture I drew based off of this one scene in The Legendary Scarlett and Browne. Press space or tap for the other ones. SPOILERS BELOW FOR BARTIMAEUS, LOCKWOOD, AND SCARLETT AND BROWNE: I loved these books so much! The last book had me screaming and crying at so many points, especially when it seemed like Albert was gonna sacrifice himself to save everyone. Having been a fan of Stroud's work for a long time, I was panicking, because I know he's not beyond killing a main character (RIP Natty Boy), but I also know he loves to mess with readers, hence the whole "Lockwood's-gonna-die-but-not" game he plays in the last three books. To keep it short, I was scared! For a while, I was angry about the gap between the publishing of the books, but it actually worked out well. Not only did Johnathan make the gap between the books make sense in the plot, but he also finally gave us an age for Scarlett and Albert, which I don't think I would have liked as much if I read it when I was a couple of years younger. I also loved how Scarlett and Albert have picked up bits of each other in their adventures. She's a lot more soft when it comes to mvrd3r now, and he's a lot more brave (and curses now?!?!). Overall, this book was crazy, and I loved it. I also really, really need to talk about it.
Johnathan Stroud for the characters and the scene. Beyonce and Miley Cyrus for the song II MOST WANTED (tell me this doesn't fit them so well). I think I'm definitely gonna redraw this, so keep checking for updates.
