Before I ask my question, I LOVE KEEPER OF THE LOST CITIES! You've inspired me to write more novels cause I was at the point of quitting. Now the question, Why did you write kotlc in third person instead of first person?

Shannon Messenger Awwwwww. Yay!

And honestly, the POV was an unconscious decision. I always heard the story in third person in my head, so that's the way I wrote it. Just like Let the Sky Fall was always in first person whenever I imagined it, and that's how it came out on the page.
