What Sarah said at her book signing
- Rhysâs last name is Hotpants (then she retracted and said his name might be revealed in future novels).
- She doesnât think Aelin and Rhys would fight if they met, they have to much in common. If they met Aelin would be like âIâm too distracted by how attractive you are.â If they got into a verbal fight Aelin would win. Her mean streak runs deeper than Rhysâs. Then sheâd feel guilty because âheâs too pretty to cry.â
- If Amren and Manon were tapped in an elevator theyâd have a stare off until they both got too hungry to continue. Manon would tear off the elevatorâs ceiling panels with her claws and Amren would climb the wires. Then theyâd go get a cup of blood together.
- Sarah likes to write ânot niceâ female characters like Amren and Nesta because she doesnât think she was always the nicest person in high school. She also believes that no one is ever completely sweet and kind all the time, weâre all a mix of good and bad (except her sister-in-law who is apparently the nicest person in the world).Â
- She wrote 20 000 words of Tower of Dawn her first day sitting down to write it.Â
- Tower of Dawn will be told from the perspectives of Chaol, Nesryn and Yrene.
- If her characters order Starbucks Amren would be super strong expresso, Rhys would get a latte with pretty foam art and Feyre wouldnât drink coffee but sheâd get English breakfast tea.
- If she could bring her characters anywhere in our world she would bring Feyre to the Louvre. She would just watch Feyre look at the art for hours. She would bring Aelin to the Metropolitan Opera House, which is her favorite place in the world.
- Page 666 of ACOWAR was completely coincidental. When she was reading the version with numbered pages for the first time she burst out laughing when she saw what happened on that page.
- She refused to answer who has the longest wingspan but says she might throw it in at the end of the very last novel. Until then we can choose for ourselves who has the longest âwingspanâ and the best âflying skillsâ.
- It upsets her that people feel like they need to apologize for reading fantasy or romance novels. She gained most of her knowledge of healthy romantic and sexual relationships from those kinds of books.
- She still has her copy of Pride and Prejudice from ninth grade where she drew hearts and wrote Sarah Darcy in gel pen.
- Throne of Glass wasnât a huge success right away. If Crown of Midnight hadnât sold well she only would have gotten three books.
- She went off on a really long but super sweet tangent about how much she loves her husband. She says that despite common fandom belief he is not the inspiration for Rhys (their only similarities are that they have dark hair and are tall) but their relationship did inspire the tone of Feysandâs relationship, especially the importance placed on equality and partnership. Josh was smiling like crazy the entire time to the point where Sarah had to stop because she kept laughing at his âgoofy grin.â
- The very first scene of ACOTAR was inspired by the first song of the Princess Mononoke soundtrack while the last scene of ACOWAR was inspired by the last song on the soundtrack. This was a coincidence.
- Her dog sleeps in Sarahâs office while she writes. She goes there after her walk every morning like sheâs going to work.
- She gets inspiration for her female characters through music. She gets inspiration for her male characters by trying to figure our how to get their shirts off in a rainstorm.
