What's the best thing you've read so far this year? P.S. Thank you for bringing Will of the Many into existence. It's one of my top five favorite books of all time, and I cannot WAIT to see where the series goes!! Cheers!
James Islington
I've actually, unfortunately, read very little to start this year! Largely because I've been doing a lot of copyediting and proofreading for The Strength of the Few, which means that by the end of the day, my brain has been kind of just done with words. But towards the end of last year I read Blood Over Bright Haven by M.L. Wang, and really enjoyed it - that's probably the first thing that comes to mind of my recent reads.
(And, as for what's next, I'm really looking forward to The Devils by Joe Abercrombie... only a couple of weeks away now!)
And, thank you!!

Hi James! My question pertains to Ashalia from Licanius. Without getting into any specific spoilers, I wanted to say that I greatly enjoyed that she always seemed to do the cleverest thing in every scenario, finding smart, efficient solutions to her problems—basically, everything I as the reader was rooting for her to do. How did you go about balancing that competency with keeping her character grounded?

Hi James! First I want to say that I love The Will of the Many. I still can't believe how much this book has stuck with me since I read it on the year of its release. I've been thinking about book 2 everyday since, especially the part I'm gonna ask you now: what can you say about the political aspect of The Strength of the Few? I can't wait to see more of it from an inside perspective, on Vis' new journey.

I just started reading the book, and honestly I am very impressed. Not very many books catch my attention and hold it as this one has. One of my favorite questions to ask authors is "What is the origin of this story you are telling?" I like to keep that in mind as I read a book. Do you mind answering that one for me?
