@sar.bookishthings: We’ve all looked at a fantasy name, made an executive decision about how it was pronounced, and then lived with that decision for 400 pages. 😂📚 But there’s a reason names like Chaol, Rhysand, Manon, and Galathynius can make our modern-English brains short circuit. Languages like Old English and Old Norse used letters, sounds, and spelling conventions that don’t always behave the way we expect them to today. And fantasy LOVES using unfamiliar combinations of letters and sounds to make names feel like they belong to another language, another history, another world. So maybe confidently mispronouncing a fantasy name is just part of the immersive reading experience. 😂 Tell me the fantasy name you pronounced COMPLETELY wrong until the audiobook corrected you 👇🎧 #MedievalMonday #FantasyBooks #BookTok #FantasyBookTok #romantasy
