Will sharing what Todd wrote (keeping to self or reading aloud) make a difference?
Yes, the rumor will make a difference.
What is Todd favorite recipe to bake?
Gingersnap cookies
Will we see parents of chand and mc in future?
Most likely
Is that broken case of palladia vials play vital role in future story??(like one of the reason for disaster)
The broken case of Palladia definitely has an impact, but the Aquila's situation is more of a problem overall.
Will we be able to match make characters in story?
Most likely
Has the disaster started or its about to start?
The disaster has started
If not for boat career what would have mc choose as her career?
She probably would have been a slightly disgruntled woodworker :D
I have noticed a scar or burn skin tissues on main character's neck side area..? Is she designed that way or their is some back story for mc's scar near neck area??
There's a backstory, but like many cool scars, it's not anything earth-shattering.
Is Phoebe a love interest? I really liked what we saw of her so far so I am hoping she might be!
Yes, she is
What exactly happened in the world? I am not sure I understand what was the "disaster" that changed the planet.
This is a big, complicated thing. There wasn't any one thing, but it was a combination of war, disease, the effects of climate change, and the most unlikely one, the shifting of the earth's magnetic poles leading to more or less a collapse of satellite based technologies. For example, Alaska isn't a state anymore. Most of the global superpowers broke apart as everything deteriorated.
Will we be able to assemble crew in future or ask characters to join the boat crew?
I cannot answer this question right now.
will we see Krissa again, and will she have a role in the plot?
We may see Krissa again, but that depends on how long the story runs, and I know in my mind what role she would likely play. I don't think it's a huge one, but I do feel that every character plays some important role. (Even Ross 😅)
Chand, I love him as friend, so I was wondering: will we have the chance to pair him up with someone? My heart goes out for him and his endless quest in finding love! He deserves happiness too after all .
I have someone in mind as a potential matchmaking option for Chand. I don't know if it will actually play out at this time.
Apart from obvious “we and our progeny will all die if this issue will not be addressed soon” what was inspiration behind choosing climate change as a topic? Why post-apocalyptic setting?
There are a few reasons for this. I think that the way the world is changing is something that affects all of us, but a lot of us have a lifestyle that allows us to look away. It's a difficult topic and honestly, the research I did for this story has been heartbreaking at times. I think there's a tendency to look at these huge issues and feel that they're just too big to think about or not our problem. So, in one regard, I wanted to not just ignore the problem but also not be completely doom and gloom about it. I do think that no matter what happens, people will continue to find ways to adapt to and live on our planet. Nature and animals are also near and dear to my heart and a huge source of inspiration for me. The post-apocalyptic setting was also, in part, to make sailing relevant in a futuristic setting, and it kind of fit naturally with the collapse of infrastructure that supports most of our modern transportation and supply chains.
This book has an incredibly diverse cast of main and side characters. Did you base any of them on people you know?
Not specifically.I certainly looked at people that often weren't represented in media and the stories and experiences they had, and took that into consideration when creating the cast. Of course, there are so many underrepresented people that I feel like I only put a drop in the ocean here.
Any chance Pramila is an LI? May be not a full branch? We're in love with her character design.
She is not a romanceable character, unfortunately. I agree, the artists did a great job with her.
From which character chand ,sunny was inspired?
No characters in particular, actually. I started more with an idea of the role I wanted them to play in the story.
Will be able to adopt baby orca?
Sort of? As much as you can adopt a wild orca.
Will chand and pramila converse in Hindi?
Pramila is actually not Indian. Her parents named all their children after famous historical figures. She does know some hindi though.
I know we can choose any of them, but I think they match the Li's personalities, scenes, or even nicknames they gave us. Chand has that first scene with the Aurora. Sunny is more reserved, and we shape our relationship. Phoebe loves space (her astronaut tattoo). RJ and MC love the work on the sea. Todd is a baker (but I think this one works for MC choice too because her nickname is honeybee 🥰). Connor calls MC his angel 😇. Let me know what you all think 🤔
