Hi, my names Lauryn and I am a sucker for a good fantasy book. Let me put it out there first, I navigate the world - and books - a little differently. Being autistic means I interpret stories through a unique lens. While I might struggle with the comical side of things or subtle social context, I have a deep appreciation for the “bones” of a story.

What you’ll find here:

• Magic Systems: I love learning about how worlds work and how magic and lore is incorporated into stories.

• Trope Analysis: I look at common themes in books, discuss whether they work in that story or if it’s basic and overwritten.

• From Page to Screen: I’m fascinated by the process of turning a book into a movie or series and whether the heart of the story survives the transition.

Whether you’re looking for my top 5 recommendations, a deep dive into character tropes, or an honest review that cuts through the hype, I’m here to help you find a story that resonates.

Fantasy is for everyone who wants to explore beyond the ordinary. I’m just here to help you find the right map.
