I was recently interviewed by for Priya Sridhar at Book Riot. They asked some wonderful questions, which ended up revealing some spoilers! Not all of the questions were put out for the public (probably because of the spoilers), so I thought I'd share them and my answers with you here. WARNING: Spoilers.
