Stepheroni and Cheese

Hey guys, I’ve been thinking. How do you encourage a reader to like a character who is already dead? And with minimal flashbacks? And and without being boringly sad? I have a few ideas, but this has been a challenge so far and I was wondering what everyone else thinks.

Alright, here is my feedback!

~ Which character(s) did you find the most compelling/relatable/believable and why?

You know Tyn and Cyrus were my favorites from the previous book. In this book, I enjoyed James and Eric (post-memory wipe), both for their enthusiasm. Iskyagus was fun as well for the brief moment he was there.

I had to do a “sell an element” project a couple years ago, and I chose polonium, which meant researching how to buy it, and also given the fact I chose to sell it specifically for murdering people, I researched how much it would take to kill someone too.

AAHH GUYS

@linus-smallprint @keilah-h
