lovely person said this and why: "Susan Dennard (Something Strange and Deadly), Sarah J Maas (Throne of Glass), Trish Doller (Something Like Normal), Amy Plum (Until I Die), Gina Rosati (Auracle) are just some of the few authors that I completely respect. They don't just write fantastic books, they ineract with fans like they were friends, and they help budding authors with a kindness that I find is rare in some people."
