Paige Baker asked Carissa Broadbent:

Just wanted to give kudos to one of my favorite books I have ever read, The Serpent and the Wings of Night. I can NOT wait until book #2 and I have been raving about it to everyone I know! Your story telling is absolutely incredible and I have fallen in love with these characters. What was your favorite part about writing this specific book?

Carissa Broadbent Aw, thank you so much! I am so happy you loved it!
To be honest, TSatWoN was a bit stressful to write! I had just finished Mother of Death and Dawn, the grand finale of my last trilogy, and I was so scared of venturing into a whole new world. I was really afraid that readers would only love my last world + characters, and I wouldn't be able to
That said, I think at the same time it was that freedom that made the book the most fun. I had limitless possibility with it because it was a brand new world, and a blank slate. The book is a little self-indulgent because I was letting myself do whatever I wanted!
That, or Oraya's voice. She's so different than Tisaanah, my last protagonist -- her voice was so so fun to write.
