Goodreads asked Elizabeth Van Zandt:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Elizabeth Van Zandt I began writing the Stars Series a few years ago. I was inspired to reimagine the entire series, starting with Ashes of the Stars while I was going through a really rough patch. I wrote down, "My mistakes and my anxiety are a part of me, but they are not the whole sum of my person. I will not let those things define me." I decided that Aili Renault was a good character to reflect that sentiment.
