Hanzel asked Michael Grant:

Hey Big fan of your books especially the Gone series with all its amazing character and thrilling story. Which character was your favorite and least favorite to write? Also how did you decide which powers each character would get like Sam and Cain for instance? Did you ever just give a character powers just to advance the story or did you always know which character will have powers?

Michael Grant I'm probably proudest of Edilio, just because he started at the bottom, so to speak, but grew to become the most respected person in the FAYZ. I liked the fact that he accomplished it with no powers but decency, loyalty, courage and determination. But I think I liked Diana's "voice" the most. She was fun to write.

I had no plan for the powers. Typical for me.
