1.Winter Glasswill have its own set of fairytale inspirations.
A lot of fairy tales are, but particularly that one because shes so passive.
But it wasnt like I set out to do a Cinderella book.
Its more like I got to know Isabelles character and I realized she felt like that unwanted half-sister.
So it felt natural.
Its a clue to her past and unlocking who she is, says Hillyer.
Its really a quest for identity.
It will be a tale of two queens.
Hillyer is intent on subverting expected fairytale tropes in this second book.
As a result,bothsisters will be going into this book as queens in their own right.
But then theres this question of, how are they going to negotiate that?
I wanted her to be more empowered… Shes not satisfied to just be what she was before.
All of her illusions have been shattered.
[Now], she goes kind of dark.
There will be a couple of differentkindsof love stories.
Theres lots of romantic stuff that ensues, teases Hillyer.
I wanted to focus Isabelle most on just one love trajectory and explore how she feels about that.
Aurora will also be exploring her romantic side.
She realizes that love doesnt have to look heteronormative, shares Hillyer.
Shes really growing up.
