At the time, I had no idea who the characters were, or what their world was, but I just saw this epic, emotional scene (what is now the climax of the book) play out in my head. I was on a plane for one of my book tours, years ago, and the idea hit me out of the blue while listening to some music. Where did the idea of Crescent City come from? I’ve never quite been able to explain why I love fantasy so much, but my obsession with it has been around since I was a kid. From the moment Bryce walked into my head, I knew she was in her early to mid-twenties, which placed her and her story firmly in the adult realm. It wasn’t a conscious choice, but rather just the story that called to me. Why the transition from writing for young adults to writing for adults? Not at all! It’s actually been really exciting and delightful to get the chance to explore a new world and characters, and learn every detail about them! That sense of discovery is exactly why I love writing so much.
Excerpts from an email interview:Īre you nervous about starting a new journey with a new universe? Packed with a gamut of fantastical characters - faes, werewolves, wraiths, angels, merpeople, and whatnot - the book promises to be an engaging read for fantasy aficionados. The book revolves around half-fae, half-human Bryce Quinlan, who seeks revenge after a terrible tragedy and ends up embroiled in a violent web of greed and politics.
Since her earlier books, such as Throne of Glass and A Court of Thorns and Roses, were in the YA (young adult) category, this shift took many by surprise. However, with her latest work, House of Earth and Blood, first in the Crescent City series, what whetted the fans’ excitement manifold was the announcement that the contemporary fantasy series is her debut into the adult fiction genre. Bestselling author Sarah J Maas’ releases have always been highly anticipated.
