One of my favorite books in the world, The Darkangel by Meredith Ann Pierce, has some pretty trite fantasy elements including but not limited to magic blades (so glamdringy), lion shaped god figures (Naaaaarnia), invisibility cloaks (Mischief managed!), bags of holding (carries +5 plot points) and a golden haired heroine with unusually colored eyes (but at least they're not violet).
Still, it's an AMAZING book and I love it as much today as I did the first time I read it. To my first fantasy role model, Aeriel of Avarra!

I totally thought you were going to pick Ready Player One! Now I have a new book to read...
Oh man! That's what I get from having too many favorite books. :D Maybe we can do this theme again soon because once I drew this, I wanted to draw a million more scenes from other books. Ready Player One! The Magicians! (*hyperventilating*) The Namesake! Alanna! AGGH!
I love the invisibility cloak effect. And Bag of Holding FTW!
this gal is cool looking! i also like the invisibility cloak, and her pose is great! makes me want to read the book!
Oh, Peter, PLEASE DO! You won't regret it. It's so rich and beautiful as is everything Meredith Ann Pierce writes.
Also, a bonus: She writes a trilogy about WARRIOR UNICORNS...which, when read at a young age, will foster an undying obsession with the beasts well into adulthood. (*cough cough, shifty eyes*) or so I've been told.
I wonder if Battlecorns should not also be an Anthdrawlogy topic...
Unlike the battlecorns themselves, this is something I would not fight.
