YA LIT MEME: Favorite Protagonists [4/5] → Yeva, The Hunted Series by SMeagan Spooner ↳“She moves like beauty, she whispers to us of wind and forest—and she tells us stories, such stories that we wake in the night, dreaming dreams of a life long past. she reminds us of what we used to be. She reminds us of what we could be.”

Will your Hunted series be a companion series with different characters or the same ones thru out the series?

It’s actually not a series at all! HUNTED is a standalone novel. I do have other books in the pipeline with the same publisher, but they are unrelated to HUNTED!

The Starbound Series by Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner

The joy of a little girl whose dreams have been painted the color of the sea. The loyalty of a boy who is ready to defend his home with his bare hands and the force of his will. The love of a man whose faith transcends death, whose strength feels like fire and poetry. The fire of a girl who had everything taken from her, and still found it within herself to leap into the unknown to open this door. The determination of a boy who held out his hand to leap with her, to have faith in that moment that we were all worth saving, if only we had the chance to prove it.

I'm currently reading Hunted right now and it's absolutely STUNNING!! I just want to ask, it's a stand a lone right? Will there be a sequel or maybe books related/in that same world. I don't mean to be bother, bit I can't seem to find the answer anywhere.

HUNTED is standalone! I have other books in the pipeline with HarperTeen, but they’re not connected to the characters or world in HUNTED.

(And I’m so glad you’re enjoying the read!)

“We curse everything, for we are cursed, and we have no arms to shelter her and no lips to press to her hair and above all no words to tell her that we know loss and we know pain and if they were monsters we could fight we would have slain them in her name long ago like the heroes of old. But we are not a hero. We are cursed.”  

bookish aesthetic: Hunted by Meagan Spooner

Oh my gosh, this is so beautiful I can’t even. *__*

Hunted is so perfect from the dedication at the beginning to the note from the author at the end. It’s a book that speaks to me in every way. I am the girl who reads by flashlight, who sees dragons in the clouds, who dreams of other worlds. I am Yeva, searching, “want(ing) not so much a thing as everything, something beyond naming, something more than”. I am the girl who grew up reading fairy tales and still yearns to see the magic in the world. 

So to Meagan Spooner, you wrote this for me and I thank you for it.

Excuse me while I go wipe my eyes. I was, um, cutting up some onions.

So happy to finally be able to share this! It’s some early concept art of Aloy, the lead character of Horizon: Zero Dawn. I worked on this character together with the rest of the character team for a few months in 2013. It was a huge honor working with Guerrilla Games and their inspiring, talented team. I loved working on this character! These images can be seen in this neat featurette about Aloy: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bw5Jnh… as well as in the artbook that comes with the collector’s edition of the game! Images © Sony and Guerrilla Games.

Oh my god, I KNEW I loved this character design for a reason. I had no idea that @loish worked on this, but I can 100% see it now. THAT HAIR. <3

The first thing I do when I’m in a new friend’s house is figure out where they keep their books and spend an uncomfortably and socially unacceptable length of time inspecting them.
