Are you allowed to say which actor/model you think looks most like how you imagined Alina, Mal, Ivan, Zoya, Genya, Vasily, Sturmhond, and the Darling? If you can, WHO? WE'RE DYING TO KNOW. By the way, thank you for breaking our hearts and leaving us hang

Awwww, I luff you too

It’s very rare that I have an actor in mind for any of my characters, and even if I did, I really prefer to see what’s in the readers’ heads. That’s part of why I’m always a little iffy on book trailers.

I will say that occasionally a fancast or a piece of fanart will come up in the tag and I’ll be like BLAM! THAT’S HIM! (or whatever the case may be). (And I’ll admit, sometimes fancasts show up and all I can think is nonononono. But I kind of enjoy those too, because I’m still getting to see what the reader sees. Let me look into your braaaaaaiiiiiins.)

Robin LaFevers said (and I’m paraphrasing badly here) that authors really only write half the book. The rest is whitespace that the readers fill in. I like that and I don’t want to interfere with it.

(I know if the movie gets made, all bets are off, but right now, we get the characters to ourselves ;)
