Okay, like I said to Penny above, you are a comic genius. It is amazing to me how funny your writing is. Like truly transcendent.
You've mentioned before that it can be tough to play Kade and Magnus because there's the potential for overlap in their character voices but I have to say I've never felt that. You can really feel Kade's maturity and the peace he's at with himself in contrast to Magnus being younger and more impulsive and goofy, while still having so much frustration about the limitations of his fate. And Susan is SUCH a compelling character, the choices you've made about picking her up post-book have really paid off. You are just so good at developing themes from the source text and creating characters who are obviously and recognizably their book selves while also exploring new aspects of who they become after they sit with the events of their canon for several years or decades.
I have definitely thought about how I wasn't sure I would super connect with Magnus initially because of his Very YA Source Text but pretty much right out of the gate he became a character that I cared about so much and would absolutely die for lol. I really can't say enough about your ability to make this happen.
