Thread of SJM Live
She said the door is still open for spin-off Throne of Glass books!! “There are stories about the thirteen that I would love to tell one day...about the witch kingdom....”
She came up with the very end of Kingdom of Ash in Costa Rica and she started crying!
For Crescent City, she figured out the ending of it very early on
SJM never used to have input on her covers, but now she‘s involved, with Crescent City being the one where she’s has the most voice!
CRESCENT CITY IS OFFICIALLY THREE BOOKS RN, BUT SHE MIGHT HAVE PLANS FOR MORE BEYOND THAT
Q: Crossover of different plots? “WHO KNOWS WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS?”

“World building is probably the most fun, but the hardest to do.”
Btw we also saw a little peak of her son https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥺" title="Pleading face" aria-label="Emoji: Pleading face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥺" title="Pleading face" aria-label="Emoji: Pleading face">
“I usually begin with the characters...a scene will pop into my head and then the character’s voice will pop into my head.”
Aelin was the first character she connected with, and for Bryce and Feyre, their voices came to her, narrating the beginning of their books
Throne of Glass inspired by Cinderella, ACOTAR was beauty and the beast, CC drew from many sources... the Roman empire, Greek and Norse mythology, her growing up in NYC, there wasn’t really a fairytale that inspired it
This interviewer highkey sucks with her questions https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙄" title="Gesicht mit rollenden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit rollenden Augen">
“WHAT IS RHYS’S LAST NAME???” SHE SAID ITS A SECRET I HATE HER

She’s obsessed with Frozen 2’s soundtrack widhdjjsjjd why is that me https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">
Either or questions: “flying with Abraxos or Cassian?” Cassian! Because she’s working on ACOSF now and he’s “so hot” https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">

“Fight a war against maeve or amarantha?” Amarantha
“Fight alongside aelin or rhysand?” “They’re both so similar in so many ways” so if fighting against rhysand she’d get distracted by how hot he is while with aelin she’d be more focused...she chose both https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">
“Would you ask Dorian or the suriel for advice?” Suriel but Dorian is so wise and sexy https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">
“Elide or Amren, who would you chose for the last member of your army?” Amren because even though elide is smart, Amren is vicious and has her history of battle
“Female-strong characters..are we gonna see more love stories or will it be more second layer?” ACOSF is very romance based (chalk full of romance) and she’s excited for readers to read the sexy chapters https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">
“Now I feel like we’re seeing more nuanced female characters driving their own stories. I’ve always been a feminist, and now more than ever, I’m proud to be one.” https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥺" title="Pleading face" aria-label="Emoji: Pleading face">
“Of all your characters, who is Sarah?” Fleetfoot in Throne of Glass, I HATE HER WIDJDMDN
“all of my characters have a little piece of me, some bigger than others.”
ADPATATIONS CONVO NOW....”any adaptations coming our way?” Neither ACOTAR or TOG project have panned our so she has all the rights back to her work so now she can go out and shop around all of her projects.
Nothing planned as of now but she’s restarting her process to make sure she has a team that’s passionate about the work and the characters
“Do you have any characters you envision as your main characters?” “I think josh wants to play all the men” lmfaoooo
“If he’s lucky he can play a cameo or a soldier in one of the armys” https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💀" title="Schädel" aria-label="Emoji: Schädel">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💀" title="Schädel" aria-label="Emoji: Schädel">
Sorry about these typos y’all, I’m trying to type as she says stuff https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">
“What was the most touching book to finish?” “I actually cried during every one of my books. I get so deep into my characters heads so when they’re going through hard times, I feel their pain. ACOMAF and KOA are very close to my heart.”
“I cried all the way through Crescent City. That book is very personal to me in a lot of ways.”
“Both Feyre and Bryce struggle with mental illness and mental health and that’s something I’ve struggled with in my own life, especially very recently. I’m still trying to figure myself out.”
THEYRE ABOUT TO TELL US ABOUT A LAUNCH??
Uh I think the interviewer just talked about the launch of something in Portuguese, I’m sorry y’all, I didn’t get that part if it was important https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">
