(Sorry this took me so long! Yesterday ended up being busy busy busy)
6) what did you think about the scene with the lock?
I really liked the direction Sarah ended up going in! There was still loss for both Aelin and Dorian II but I was so grateful that neither had to die. The nameless king was a twist I did not see coming, and it was one of the few I times I was actually in shock from the book. I loved how it allowed Dorian II to move past his resentment for his father in a way that used actual actions, instead of someone just telling him to forgive or whatever.
10) what is one fanfic that you must read or write after the events in KoA?
I’d be open to writing a drabble or something on Mama Yrene! She’s my favourite female character in the book and I love the image of her being a mother (which is also why that’s the first thing I drew post-KoA as well haha)
11) were you satisfied with the way Aelin was freed from Maeve?
I think so, yes! I appreciated that it wasn’t someone just swooping in and taking her out, that she had a hand in her own escape. It broke my heart when I thought Fenrys was going to die from breaking the blood oath because he’s also one of my favourites, but I actually liked the suspense. It was just so beautiful to me that he was willing to die to get her out.
