Disney Studio's Movie Adaptation Of 'Artemis Fowl' Drops Teaser Trailer And A Familiar-Looking Poster

Eoin Colfer's Artemis Fowl series was one of my all-time favorites. I loved it so much that I had to share it with friends and family and the mass market edition copies I had disentegrated to pieces that I had to buy hard-to-find hardcover editions.

Many years ago, it was announced that a movie adaptation's under way and the casting was already made. I was ecstatic, of course! Who wouldn't wan't to see in wide screen their most beloved series (some of you purist probably wouldn't, but shame on you)? But as time went by it got delayed and delayed until the original cast got older that they couldn't fit in their roles anymore.

Fast forward to now, it is a good thing Disney picked up from where the movie previously left off and made a lot of improvements. News about the movie may be hush hush, but I am glad to share with you that the official teaser trailer and poster have already been released by said studio.

Watch the teaser trailer of Artemis Fowl the movie.

Check out the poster of Artemis Fowl the movie.

The Raven's Mark: 'Crowfall' By Ed McDonald Gets A Gritty, Cerulean Official Cover (UK Edition)

If you love Blackwing and Ravencry by Ed McDonald, then you'll be excited to know that he's coming back next year to give us more of The Raven's Mark series. The third book in the series is titled Crowfall, following the title's theme of a "cawing" portmanteau.

The cover has been unveiled recently courtesy of Dan Smith. On the flip side, it is sad to know that this will be the last book in said series. Hopefully it will be the best conclusion the story deserves. Are you ready for its coming?

Check out the cover of the UK edition of Crowfall by Ed McDonald.

Synopsis

Crowfall is a gritty epic fantasy for fans of Mark Lawrence, Scott Lynch and Daniel Polansky.

A sorceress cataclysm has hit the Range, the final defensive line between the Republic and the immortal Deep Kings.

Tormenting red rains sweep the land, new monstrosities feed on fear in the darkness, and the power of the Nameless, the gods who protect the Republic, lies broken. The Blackwing captains who serve them are being picked off one by one, and even immortals have learned what it means to die. Meanwhile the Deep Kings have only grown stronger, and are poised to deliver a blow that will finally end the war.

Ryhalt Galharrow stands apart from it all.

He has been deeper into the wasteland known as the Misery than ever before. It has grown within him - changed him - but all power comes with a price, and now the ghosts of his past, formerly confined to the Misery, walk with him everywhere.

They will even follow him, and the few surviving Blackwing captains, on one final mission into the darkness.

Crowfall by Ed McDonald will be released on June 13, 2019 in UK.

The Fall Of Shannara: 'The Stiehl Assassin' By Terry Brooks Finally Gets A Lovely Official Cover

A few weeks ago, due to my excitement for The Fall of Shannara series, I almost created a fan-made cover of its third and upcoming book, The Stiehl Assassin. What I ended up doing is a placeholder cover, because I realized I cannot do justice to the beauty of the covers of the previous books.

Now, I am glad to say that you and I don't have to wait long to finally see the official cover of the said book, because it is finally here.

Check out the cover of The Stiehl Assassin by Terry Brooks.

Synopsis

After The Black Elfstone and The Skaar Invasion comes the next chapter in the Fall of Shannara, a saga more than four decades in the making.

The Skaar have arrived in the Four Lands, determined to stop at nothing less than all-out conquest. They badly need a new home, but peaceful coexistence is not a concept they have ever understood. An advance force under the command of the lovely princess Ajin has already established a foothold, but now the full Skaar army is on the march--and woe betide any who stands in its way.

But perhaps the Skaar victory is not quite as much of a foregone conclusion as they all assume. The Druid Drisker Arc has freed both himself and Paranor from their involuntary exile. Drisker's student, Tarsha Kaynin, has been reunited with Dar, chief defender of what is left of the Druid order, and is learning to control her powerful Wishsong magic. If they can only survive Tarsha's brother and the Druid who betrayed Drisker Arc, they might stand a chance of defeating the Skaar. But that is a very big if...as Tarsha's brother now carries the Stiehl--one of the most powerful weapons in all the Four Lands, and is determined to take his revenge on everyone he feels has wronged him.

The Stiehl Assassin by Terry Brooks will be released on June 4, 2019.
