Been recently unwell and enjoying an extra-introverted/offline phase, but just popping by to say I'm still here, #ThoseWhoCreateAndDestroy is still happening, and Cyrano's officially competing with Jules for my favorite character, for reasons that have only just now fully revealed themselves to me, and which will only become clear to readers with the third or fourth book.

I have no doubt Cyrano's going to be (or remain, for those who've already read all the way to the end of TWCAD Part 2) the most controversial character in the series and generate a lot of uncomfortable feelings and debates. His arc is primed to take some truly jaw-dropping twists and turns.

If he makes you especially uncomfortable, maybe consider—as I have, often—whether you see anything of yourself in him.

Still wrapping up Part 3 of #ThoseWhoCreateAndDestroy, but visions of the sequel are already blooming in my mind.

I can't wait to introduce Jules's hero, the legendary alchemist Evander Lockwood, and dive with Rory into the rich polytheistic world of the Hermetic Order of Khmun.

Things to expect from the sequel to #ThoseWhoCreateAndDestroy:

-eggs hatching 🐣

-(new) old traumas resurfacing

-weird parent-figure dynamics

-more Karamat/Khmun 𓂀

-more Lockwoods (including sooo many plausible answers to the question "Why is Hunter like that??")

-Max becoming a POV (or what used to be Max...? 😱)
