ARITSAR HAS MADE IT TO SPAIN!!!

Raybearer, now translated and titled Radiante, I saw it in bookshops here in Spain!! Bienvenides a Aritsar, todes quienes no lo conocéis (y quienes queréis explorar este mundo un poco antes de lanzaros, haced clic en mis etiquetas Aritsar y Aritsar AU aquí abajo en este post para tener una ligera idea)...

 

Now... How does one localize a rich world of Counterpart Cultures as Aritsar, the Arit Empire, as Alfaguara has done this winter for us here in Spain? For the aspiring Multilingual ficcer, here is a little glossary (terms like isoken or Ileyoba or Nontes or Biraslov are exotic enough to need no localization, but others don't):

Furthermore, Netflix will soon adapt the Aritsar duology to the streaming screen! They already did A Series of Unfortunate Events, A Tale Dark and Grimm, and the first installment in The School of Good and Evil, so a vibrant universe of counterpart cultures like Aritsar would be perfect to turn into a streaming series, right?
