![]() ![]() ![]() I was already wondering, oh, what else might that treatment have done to her? There’s definitely some big changes with Evie coming. ![]() But it was tough, because I didn’t want her to be a damsel in distress the entire book, so anytime that I wanted to make sure I showed that even though she couldn’t fight like Luc or any of them, she could hold her own, or at least she helped.īut you’re going to see some changes with that in the second book. Sometimes the most important strength is being able to survive some really tough stuff and be able to pick yourself back up, dust yourself off.Īnd Evie’s dealt some huge psychological blows-learning who she really is, and that her mother isn’t her mother, and then having no recollection of that past. ![]() It doesn’t mean you’re a trained fighter. It doesn’t always mean that you can handle a gun or a bow and arrow, or a sword. It’s one of my soapboxes, that strength does not always mean physical. That was actually one of the hardest things, because I feel that, in YA, if your character is not physically strong and able to get out there and kick ass, your character is seen as weak, even if they’re mentally and emotionally strong. When everyone around her is so powerful, how do you keep a teen girl protagonist strong? She was a really interesting character, just her voice, how sarcastic she was. And she begins to discover that there’s a lot of things the government has kept quiet from the humans after the invasion. But you quickly begin to realize that there is something going on, and that’s where our main character Evie comes into play. ![]()
