TMS: Winter is perhaps my favorite of the four protagonists (though it’s admittedly hard to choose!). There were days when I would beat my head against the desk because I couldn’t figure out how to make it all fit and feel cohesive, but in the end, I’m really happy with how it came together. So it was definitely fun and exciting for me to see their story come to life, and often in ways that surprised even me! That said, it’s not an easy thing to balance so many different characters, each with their own goals, character arcs, romances, and resolutions. and then throw them and their princes all on a spaceship and see what happened. I wanted to update the classic “princesses” and make them strong, talented, and brave. I didn’t just want to write one fairy tale retelling, I wanted to write a space opera filled with awesome fairy-tale-inspired protagonists. Meyer: Definitely both! That was probably the biggest appeal for me from the start. Was it challenging or exciting (or both!) to bring these great gals together? TMS: I loved seeing all these women with whom we’ve gotten so close-Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, and now Winter-team up to find their happily ever afters.
