Jace asked Brigid Kemmerer:

Hey Brigid, I'm an amateur writer trying to write my first fantasy novel and was wondering if there's any websites/books/resources that helped you describe the weapons in your books {like in The Cursebreakers}? Thanks!

Brigid Kemmerer Oh, I LOVE this question! I don't have any websites in particular, but I am pretty relentless when it comes to Google and YouTube. I watch videos about swordplay and archery and hand-to-hand combat, and I just wait for things to pique my interest. I also read a lot of Reddit threads and blog posts about weapons and training. One of the best things about fantasy is that you really can just ... make things up. If you want to have swords and guns, go for it. Arrows and cannons? Knock yourself out.

I hope this helps!
