I just finished devouring the Broken Earth Trilogy, which I received as a gift from my 16y/o...thank you for such an awesome series! Quite simply the best I’ve read in a while. I wanted to ask if you had ever read Melanie Rawn? Your use of the gems/stones and also rings as magic mastery signifiers reminded me of my old fav Dragon Prince series. Just curious. I’m looking forward to checking out the rest of your books!

Yeah, I think I read that when I was a teenager, although I don't remember it well, unfortunately. (I remember liking it somewhat.) It's possible it was an influence? Everything I ever read/consume is an influence.

Thank you for your work. I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve read so far. Could you say something about your approach to politics, in the worlds you build but also as an author? (I’m always impressed by your attention to power and hierarchy, but also to moments and modes of resistance, so I’m curious if you feel strongly about how much politics to do, for example, or whether the genre lends itself more to certain kinds)

I'm an audiobook listener, I used to read a lot but just don't have the time to sit for any length nor do I have the concentration anymore. As far as artwork, am I missing a lot of this from your books besides the cover? Do you have maps and the like? Thanks in advance - your books take me to a places I won't ever forget.
