What was it about these books that made them so special? (pre-answers: EVERYTHING) Obviously, I love them both, and Laurent managed to break my heart about 2000 times, but…if I had a type, it’d 100% be Damen (aka my sweet, noble warrior-prince). I literally can’t even talk about him without breaking into the goofiest/creepiest grin. Sarah: So, I’m totally in the minority here, but… DAMEN. I want to put him in a comfy chair and give him tea. So much of what I love in Laurent comes through when he’s with Damen, but at the end of the day, Laurent is just such an incredible–and incredibly nuanced–character. The truth is that I love them as characters more together, though, and that is a real triumph by an author, when you love who they most when they are interacting with each other. meticulous, and brilliant (hello, Cat’s brain). At first, I thought I would be a Damen girl forever, but there was something about Laurent that was so. I love that he’s cunning, but so vulnerable too. So yeah… I’m so with you, Sara. Vilma: LAURENT. I love his quiet intelligence and depth. I just want to bask in his maliciousness. But in like a I-just-want-to-follow-him-around-and-be-his-groupie way, because I know he’d have zero interest in me. VERY IMPORTANT! Damen or Laurent? Obviously BOTH (because who can truly choose between a noble, dark-haired warrior and a beautiful, enigmatic and brilliant golden prince?) But if you really really really had to choose or someone like Jord would die, who would you choose and why? Read the question and make decisions on what you are okay with knowing.įirst question.

Sara Raasch, author of the Snow Like Ashes series.Lo of Christina Lauren and I messaged pretty much daily as I devoured the books, pouring over scenes as we traded expletives and quotes and OMGs. Before long, we decided to bring in some more friends to talk about Laurent and Damen too, and this informal but super fun interview pretty much wrote itself. Here’s who I called… Once I finished the books, I couldn’t stop talking about them and thankfully I had a group of willing friends to gush with, including some other incredible authors like the ones I’m featuring today. This is the ultimate enemies-to-lovers story emblazoned by vivid world building, unraveled by flawless pacing. It’s a high fantasy adventure, both sweeping and intimate, with two princes at its center- two rivals-who battle their intensifying feelings for each other while also battling cunning enemies to reclaim their thrones. As most of you know, I recently fell in love with the Captive Prince trilogy written by the amazing C.S.
