One more question can one of your characters be physically disabled ? cause I have Cerebral Palsy and I feel we need representation as a community
Roshani Chokshi
I really appreciate this question. Every person deserves to see themselves in stories. I want to represent the inclusiveness of the world around us in my characters, but I never want those characters to feel like mere mention, but to be actively developed and fully fleshed out people. To do this, I rely on my sensitivity readers and interviews with people of that background. Oftentimes that can mean that getting those characters on the page takes awhile, but I trust that longer process so that I never unintentionally harm any of my readers.

I am a big fan of your work! I was introduced to your books through the preview in one of Rick Riordan's books. I love the Aru Shah books and I am planning to read some of your other books next. I read a lot of books kind of like the book you write, but I am now kind of stuck on what I am going to read. At some point, I don't really know what to read anymore. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!
