Would people in this thread be interested in reading my first book? ^_^

It's a light read focused primarily on one character--an apprentice spellblade who, during a mission, gets lost in an enchanted forest and has to learn to survive on his own. I made it first and foremost for myself, but thought people who like high fantasy may enjoy it, so I read several books on editing, polished it up over multiple passes, sent it out to beta readers who liked it, changed some sections where they gave me feedback to improve it, and then decided to publish.

The setting is traditional fantasy (Faeries, magical swords, trolls, etc.), but I mixed in some of my own ideas and elements of Jungian psychology and other scientific concepts, along with elements of animu (a trap and an evil tentacle waifu). I'm already working on the second book, and it's longer than the first due to the incorporation of more POV characters.

You can find it under the name "Runeblade: A Chronicle of the Mundane and the Magical" on Amazon if you're intrigued. Check it out!
