Hi Lisa McMann!! I really like your books, but I am very upset about Alex’s death. Though it might seem a bit ridiculous, I have been crying about his death for hours. I related to Alex so much, he was just such a brave, kind, and caring person. I also loved his connection with Simber, and I’m just not sure I can continue reading without Alex. Can you make him come back to live somehow? I’m just grieving too much. :(

(view spoiler)[Hi! Thanks for writing to me.
First, it's not ridiculous to cry over a character's death. And this one was particularly difficult. I cried writing it. But I knew it was the right thing to happen.
Sometimes major characters die--it's only natural when they are fighting such terrible enemies. But it doesn't mean they never get mentioned again. The people of Artimé will be mourning, and I think you will be comforted by going through that with them. I hope you will keep reading through to the end of the series. I think you will be glad you did. :) (hide spoiler)]

Ms. McMann.... This isn't a question, but I just have to say.. YOU ARE MY MOST FAVORITE AUTHOR OF ALL TIME. I've read the Wake trilogy at least three times. It is fantastic. They are also my favorite books (currently, I read a lot). I need to make another Barnes and Noble run to get all of your other books. I just want to say I love your writing sooooooooooo much. And thank you for the Wake trilogy!
