Nadia asked Jessica Scarlett:

So in a book you would usually resolve their fear by the end, but what if you were writing a series about a person, different stories and stuff--would you resolve their fear at the end of the series, or would you have a new one each book?

Jessica Scarlett I think that would depend on what you're going for. If a story is a standalone, I would have their personal growth resolve within each story. If, however, the series is one where the books must be read in order, I would keep their fear and build on it throughout the series--simply because it's more meaningful and will add more tension to the story.

I wouldn't want the resolution of their character arc to conflict/take away from the climax of the plot, though, so I would resolve it somewhere around the middle of book 3 (in a 3-book series). But in the end, I say trust your gut! Hope that was helpful!
