I absolutely love the Wicker King, not only for it's plot but because it is incredibly relatable. Unfortunately, I'm a little confused as to what the climax of the story was exactly. Did it occur after August and Jack lit the toy factory on fire on pages 246 and 247, or when August had been placed and his cell and began to have a mental breakdown on pages 254 and 255?
K. Ancrum
The fire was the main climax, but there was a second smaller climax which was the final love confession. I really wanted people who were reading the book for the thriller aspect to be satisfied by the drama of the fire, but people who were reading the book for the romance to be satisfied by the conclusion of the eons long romantic tension so I handled both as proper climaxes to the story.

Hello you groovy literary Goddess; you Queen of alt YA ships! Your refreshing use of little-seen poly, D/S, and bi relationships makes me happy. It’s rare to find such complexity in the YA field— alternative lifestyles and characters are only ever winked at. I crave depth and f*cking REALNESS, and you delivered with characters crackling darkly. Can we expect more alternative relationships in future works? Thanks!

I imagine you've heard this dozens of times already, and have probably already answered it on here, but I'm too lazy to look and because I get a kick out of speaking to authors whose books I loved, here I am, asking it again: Will you ever write THE WICKER KING from Jack's perspective as a full novel? Not the novella, which doesn't do Jack, the novel, or you as an author justice!
