But signs of a more recent slaying emerge when a second body, bearing a similar wound pattern, is found - this one sporting a wristwatch.

Tell us about your research process for Never. ![]() In an email interview, Follett talks to us about the process of writing the book, the impact of the pandemic on his work, dealing with the weight of expectations, and more. Rich in details, Never makes for a fast-paced read, picking up momentum as the seemingly regular events in the book snowball towards a terrifying catastrophe. “The inspiration came from the general atmosphere of danger and tension in the world which is much greater than I have ever known it,” says the author known for best-sellers such as the Kingsbridge series and the Century trilogy.

What does this say about his gender identity? Orsini: By the end of the story, Prince Sebastian seems to still be splitting his time between dresses and menswear. I still wish I had three books worth of time to flesh it out but I hope the end result is something that resonates with readers, especially parents. I didn’t have three books worth of time to develop the King’s feelings toward his kid so I had to think very carefully about how to present it in a way that felt in-character but also positive. I wanted the ending to be hopeful but still make sense to the characters. Wang: I rewrote the ending with Sebastian’s father several times. ![]() ![]() Orsini: What was the hardest scene to write, and why? I did a lot of research for context but kept the final product flexible. Frances makes clothes that feel fresh and new and I wanted them to defy the silhouettes and conventions of the time. But I also tried not to be too strict about accuracy because I wanted the book to feel fairytale-like and contemporary. Wang: I spent a lot of time on Pinterest which is a pretty good resource for historical costumes. ![]() Orsini: How much research went into the gorgeous fashion depicted in the book? ![]() |
