Brooke asked Bethany Atazadeh:

Hi Bethany! I'm loving your writing! Your stories are so intriguing. I'm just wondering, why did you pick the name Jezebel for the girl in The Queen's Rise?

Bethany Atazadeh Thanks Brooke! All of the names for the Jinn in The Stolen Kingdom universe are based on Biblical names actually. Jezebel in the Bible is a known evil queen, so using that name felt very fitting when I first created her character in The Stolen Kingdom series, before I ever learned her backstory writing The Queen's Rise. :)

Have you ever considered writing about Arie's mom? If you did and drew from fairy tales, I could kinda see Snow White/Cinderella as influencing it…though it's been a while since I read the series.

Avery Elise asked Bethany Atazadeh:

What can we expect from the final book in The Stolen Kingdom series, The Enchanted Crown? Will we have any new characters? How closely does the plot follow the original Sleeping Beauty storyline? I'm so excited for it!!
