Do be sure to read the forward though, the trigger warnings will be appropriate for this ride for many. The pacing, prose, complexity and intrigue are all there, and I felt so many different things while reading that it’d be useless to try and fit them into this review. The film had its world premiere at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, garnering positive first reactions. If you’re interested in fantasy (especially dragons and evil dark lords), as well as heroes and journeys both fictional and “real” then this just might be a great book for you. Kill Your Darlings is a 2013 American biographical drama film written by Austin Bunn and directed by John Krokidas 4 in his feature film directorial debut. It’s hard to summarise the book itself without throwing spoilers everywhere but the blurb does a good job. There were a lot of things I needed to hear written in these pages, as simple as some were, and I thank the author very much for them. As well as that, once I started reading, I was also taken in what felt like a very personal journey not only to the author but also myself. I’m familiar with the concept of the main character being transported to another world, in this case the author themselves, but I’ve never read a take on it from a western/european fantasy point of view so that’s what first drew me to this. If Kyla can’t overcome the darkness inside her, she’ll die alongside her darlings.Ī spectacular read, perhaps one of the most emotional journeys a book has taken me on this year. And mental illness has robbed her of everything she needs to succeed: love, fighting spirit, hope. Kyla must trade her pen for a sword and fight to change her story's ending, but this isn’t a fantasy anymore. He feeds on the energy of dreams, seeks the destruction of all who oppose him-and Kyla’s become his number one target.
Solera is at war, and its defenders are losing against the insidious villain spawned in the depths of Kyla’s mind. She’d surrender to the halcyon fantasy, except she knows a nightmarish ending awaits. There's even someone who might be Prince Charming (if Kyla could get her act together and manage some honest communication). Now she’s with her most cherished characters: the friends she's always yearned for, the family she's never known. Kyla’s on the verge of giving up on everything when she wakes one morning, magically trapped in her fictional world. And if she can’t have one, why should they? She adores her characters, but she doesn’t believe in happy endings.
Fearless heroes, feisty shapeshifters, and mighty dragons come alive on her pages. Starring: Daniel Radcliffe, Dane DeHaan, Ben Foster Watch all you want. Isolated and grappling with debilitating depression, she copes by writing about the realm of Solera. Kill Your Darlings 2013 Maturity Rating: 18+ Drama In 1944, budding poet Allen Ginsberg falls under the spell of Columbia classmate Lucien Carr, who introduces him to the nascent Beat movement. Fantasy author Kyla knows dreams don't come true.
