If Vox Machina Was Family Friendly

Imagine Nation #1 The Blood of Kings by Matt Myklusch

January 7, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Imagine Nation #1 The Blood of Kings by Matt Myklusch and illustrator Onofrio Orlando  There are ups and downs happening within these pages. Things are both familiar and fresh with the combination of realism and fantasy that captures the reader.

    As a long-time nonprofit professional, I'm intrigued at the mixing of fantasy and fundraising. Plus, what a gorgeous cover!

    on What if Cinderella was a handsome Jewish man and the prince was a determined and beautiful heiress?
    I remember enjoying this one. And you’ve reminded me that I have an arc for the third book.

    I haven’t read this one but I got sucked into vampires early, probably around 2nd grade with a kids series...
