We donât often celebrate the birthdays of literary and movie characters so when the occasion does come, you know itâs someone well-beloved. May 8 is Katniss Everdeenâs big day and, even six years removed from the film franchiseâs epic conclusion and over a decade since the book series capped off, fans are honoring their favorite Panem tribute â plus Jennifer Lawrence, obviously.
Whatâs always been special about the Girl on Fireâs birthday is the fact that the date is also shared with the day in 1429 when 17-year-old Saint Joan of Arc had her victory at Orleans that fulfilled her promise to liberate her city. Talk about an awesome parallel! Anyway, fans did not forget the big day, with one Twitter user sharing this post:
Fate: The Winx Saga which the network recently announced is its most-watched series of 2021 so far.
Out of all of these titles,
Shadow and Bone feels the most like a would-be
Game of Thrones successor. A typical Chosen One narrative, the story centers on a teenage orphan named Alina, who works as a mapmaker
on the front lines for a perpetually war-torn country called Ravka. In the heat of battle, she discovers unexpectedly that she belongs to the Grisha a group of humans with supernatural powers.
Alina’s long-dormant ability allows her to transmit powerful rays of sunlight, making her a vital and unique weapon. In fact, her emergent power reveals her to be a fabled saint known as the “Sun Summoner,” the only person capable of offering safe passage through the Fold, a pitch-black, monster-filled sea of fog that has split Ravka into two halves. Suddenly, Alina is the key to bringing peace to the nation so naturally, it puts a giant target on her head.
