Hi, there! I have a few questions about the Three Dark Crowns series, which I've just completely finished today (I know, I know, I'm a bit late to the party). I wanted to know how the oracle queens manage to win over her sisters- it makes sense that she'd be able to foresee their attacks, but, having no special ability to assist her in the killings, how were they able to come out victorious? Thank you so much!

Kendare Blake When it comes to sight-gifted queens killing their sisters, they use their gifts to foresee attacks, and also opportunities. They know where their sisters will be and when. They know what they are going to do. As for the actual killing part, they are usually ambush killers, and well, a knife is a knife, no magic needed.

I loved the plot twists in "Three Dark Crowns"... How do you plot your story? I know it's bad form to ask a magician to reveal their tricks, but I was curious what method you used...
