Thanks for asking!
9) whose heroics were the most inspiring?
Yrene and Elide!! These two ladies were incredible strong, badass, and crucial to the fight, despite their being less trained in fighting. It made me so so happy to see characters that weren’t seasoned warriors, who maybe wouldn’t be a natural at every sport (though we know Yrene is good with self defence), actually be strong and valuable. I’ve never been good with sports or fighting or anything because of my asthma, so it’s discouraging to see all these super physically inclined characters be pushed as the ideal. So having Elide joining the fae warriors on the quest for Aelin and not be ridiculed for being slower than them, having her be the hero who saves Lorcan, having Yrene be the one to defeat Erawan? Made my heart so happy.
14) name your top three BROTPs coming out of KoA.
Fenrys and Aelin (so many years from them), Gavriel and Elide (how sweet were they!), and of course Dorian and Chaol.
17) do you wish anyone had died who ended up living?
Not really! Choal’s father if I had to choose anyone. But I’m pretty happy with the number of deaths and the way they were handled.
19) name three things you would change about KoA – and no cheating! You must pick three things.
1- make it less explicit that Aelin saw Feyre and Rhysand. It would have been more fun to leave it to the reader to theorize, I think. And it would have seemed less like fanservice.
2- no mention of Lysandion wedding at the end. Not that I don’t want them to get married, I just think they both need more time before they take that step.
3- either explain where Nox went at the end or don’t include him at all.
