hey leigh! siege and storm was amazing, i was just wondering why tolya and tamar have different last names (yul-baatar and kir-baatar)? is it some male/female thing? i'm so excited to see you at the fierce reads tour on june 19! :)

“Yul” = “son of”

“Kir” = “daughter of”

If you remember in Shadow and Bone, Botkin’s full name is Botkin Yul-Erdene :)

Excited to meet you too! (Or I’m pretty sure I am, oh anonymous creature of myssssterrrry!)
