I think my early favourites from this are Leander and Aesa but both storied sound like they have such a great concoction of characters! Can't wait to properly meet them all!

I love you choosing Aesa! Her bio isn't as sexy sounding as Matilde and Sayer's to most people, but she's got so many depths that I can't wait for readers to explore.

I really love this podcast - thanks so much, Kate and Amie.

I'm spoiled for choice when it comes to picking an 'out-of-the-gate' favorite character, but I'm going to go with Alec from 'Nightbirds' and Keegan from 'Isles' - one who wants to burn down the world (and maybe accidentally does), and one who wants to hide away from the world. I can relate to both - they sound a lot of fun.

I love these picks, Jenny! I have a mega soft spot for both of these studious gents, although they are very different from each other. I think they're going to win a lot of hearts.

I also thought of an artist that does really amazing work! Her name is Rosie (instagram: @rosiethorns88) She does papercraft and digital work, and it's amazing! She actually did the inside jacket for one of the special editions of Stephanie Garber's Once Upon a Broken Heart. She's really good!

Favorite character for Nightbirds has to be Sayer! That was honestly a no-brainer for me because her description gives me such Inej Ghafa vibes and I LOVE it!! For Isles I was torn between Leander and Jude. I completely sympathize with Jude's situation and am so excited about his role in the story, but I think Leander has to be my favorite. I am such a sucker for a good character arc, and his sounds like it will leave me in a puddle on the floor! I am so excited for these books, and I love that you created this podcast!!

Good picks, if I do say so myself :) You're going to love Leander. It's just impossible not to.

Well, Jude had me at bare knuckles boxing, but I’m also ready to love Selly. And I’m intrigued by all the Nightbirds, but I’m excited about Mathilde especially!

Loving this podcast so much, Kate and Amie. I listen on my way to work and it just makes me want to be writing! Ideally in a cool van in Australia, but my couch in Harlem will do for now.

I have a soft spot for my spoiled society girl! And I'm so glad you're loving the pod. That makes our day.

Sweet pupper. I've just caught up on all the newsletters now and love, love, love this whole podcast and the journey you're taking us on. I'm set to listen to the Q&A episode on my walk this afternoon! I didn't submit a question in time, but I'm hoping there's an update on Gal's paw!
