I've said before that in some ways, this is a dark mirror version of Mass Effect, where the characters aren't epitomes of awesomeness instead, they're people with a particular set of skills who are just trying to get by in a big, tough universe. My newest book is Fault Tolerance, coming in May 2022! It wraps up a lot of the loose ends from the previous two books in the series, and shows the crew really coming into their own as strong, capable people willing to face impossible odds despite being utterly outclassed.
And speaking of that, what’s your latest book, and why is it awesome?
His were some of the first stories that challenged me to look at things I took for granted and considered normal, and analyze them from an outside perspective that rendered them differently.Ħ. His wry asides and occasional long-winded digressions aren't super in fashion right now in most books, but I still find them hilarious. I think my humor trends toward Pratchett a bit more, especially in the ways I reach for parody and satire, but I read Douglas Adams first, and he instilled in me a love for absurdity and observation of the human condition that I've carried with me ever since. I will never not have The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in my writer DNA. What’s one book, which you read as a child or a young adult, that has had a lasting influence on your writing? Kingfisher doesn't do that she explores other conflicts and quandaries inherent in the characters themselves, their dreams and fears, and yes, sometimes how they struggle to live in a world that's potentially hard for them to navigate. Sometimes it feels like paladins are perceived as these strange pastiches of secondhand Arthuriana filtered through D&D, whose conflicts inherently revolve around how their lawful good natures must be broken on the rack of reality to force them to become somehow evil or lawless.
Kingfisher, more or less, but Paladin's Grace blends so many excellent elements together-perfume, poison, magic and faith, love and despair and duty. I wish I had written basically every book by T.
