Hello! I've just started reading 'Traitor's Blade' and I just wanted to say thank you for writing exactly the book I need right now. I love the fight scenes in particular - where did you get the inspiration for the Greatcoats' fighting style from?
Sebastien de Castell
Thanks so much for the kind words about Traitor's Blade! As for the fight scenes, I spent a couple of years doing fight choreography for the theatre, and that's a world in which each character's way of fighting has to communicate aspects of their character that have nothing to do with combat itself (for example, Brasti's poor fencing skills reflect a generally lackadaisical approach to the world, Falcio's style reflects how he sees people and situations as puzzles . . . etc).
