sumayyah asked Jennifer A. Nielsen:

Hi! I have very recently finished The Traitor's Game. I know I have never given your books anything less than a three - which is still pretty good coming from me - I have also enjoyed them all thoroughly. My question is how was it writing the different points of view of Kestra and Simon? I would like to know your process through it. I also love the unique names you give your characters and places.

Jennifer A. Nielsen Thanks, Sumayyah. For THE TRAITOR'S GAME, I didn't really have trouble writing from each of their perspectives. To me, Simon and Kestra are completely different personalities so when I was in one character's head, it was their voice as separate from the other's. The trick would be figuring out at the start of each scene who would be best in teling that part of the story.
