How can Deuce like an evil monster like Stalker? I wrote the character as true to her world and her upbringing. It is impossible for Deuce to have the kind of understanding that I do in regard to Tegan’s situation. That’s part of the conflict, in fact, between kindness and survival, compassion and callous strength. However, my modern sensibilities have no place in a dystopian novel, where the continuation of the human race is threatened. How can you care so little about abuse victims? What Deuce says to Tegan is unconscionable!įirst, this question assumes that I, personally, have made some statement–that I think victims should “get over it”. And that’s really her primary source of social experience. Stone and Thimble were her closest friends in brat-hood, and she never encountered an either/or situation with them. Yes, it’s obvious to us that Fade digs her and that Stalker does too, and that by training with him, she’s making Fade think she doesn’t like him. Her emotional intuition is pretty close to nonexistent, and she misses cues that seem obvious to us because she’s very underdeveloped in that regard. Deuce doesn’t understand relationships the way a normal girl does she doesn’t realize what’s causing Fade to pull away or that Stalker is pursuing her. Why did you make it a stupid love triangle? I hate triangles! Next, I have a few comments about the book, responding to the three biggest questions I get. And if you really need a reply, just nudge me, and I’ll get on it. I try to keep up with all fanmail, but it’s getting more challenging, so if I miss you, don’t take it personally.
First, I thank everyone who has written about the book.
