At the beginning of The Shadow Raven, Alastair is Nissa‘s boss. I’m trying to make him the main antagonist of that particular book, but so far I’m having trouble figuring out how to figure him into Nissa’s new life, so… we’ll see how that ends up working whenever I figure it out. I hope you enjoy his interview.

Snippet Sunday – Clandestine Reading (from The Masked Captain)
I’m sorry you haven’t gotten snippets lately. My writing has been really awful (as in, I haven’t been writing) and I wasn’t sure how interesting it would be to give you snippets of worldbuilding (which is mostly what I’ve been working on).

Now where have I heard that before… I thought it could be a good research book for The Dark War Trilogy, considering the idea was somewhat the same, and I might glean some insight from it.
Skip forward to me, sitting in the dentist’s office Continue reading “Book Review: Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes”
Character Interview: Lucienne Crain
Lucienne is a good friend of both Nissa and Detren, and one of the main side characters of The Shadow Raven. She’s also one of my personal favorites in the trilogy. She’s able to keep a level head even when Detren and Nissa are both declining, and help them through it, and I suppose she’s sort of a wise mentor character. I hope you enjoy her interview. :) Continue reading “Character Interview: Lucienne Crain”
