Esther Jenny asked Intisar Khanani:

Hello! First, I just have to say that i found Thorn at the book store because it just SPOKE TO ME, like magic, i have no idea how i picked it from 100s of other books with no idea what it would be about and found out it was a retelling of one of my favourite tales, so obviously i had to read it. I wanted to know if the next book in the dauntless path also had some fairy tale inspirations in it?

Intisar Khanani I'm so thrilled you found Thorn in such a special way, and that you enjoyed it so much! The next book (The Theft of Sunlight) and its sequel don't have a fairy tale inspiration behind them, but I have other stories I'd like tell in the same world that do (including, possibly, a Red Riding Hood adaptation, and possibly, Beauty and the Beast!). But those will be a ways in the future. I'm hoping to build this world with a mix of retellings and my own stories. :)
