Adelaide Jensen

I'm your host, Adelaide Jensen, and today I'm joined by Stasia Stark.

Welcome, Stasia.

Thank you for having me.

I'm excited to have you here.

Stasia is the bestselling author of the Kingdom of Lies Romantasy series, among multiple others.

But today we'll be talking about We Who Will Die, which is the first book in her brand new fantasy romance series.

Let's start with a little icebreaker question to get to know you.

If you could pick any place to travel to, real or fictional, where would it be?

That would be amazing.

Yeah.

That's a great answer, actually.

Such a good, like, sort of a bucket list travel place.

So many things to see, but, like, quite a lot of effort and planning would have to go into it.

And what is the book or series that shaped you or your love of fantasy?

Well, that's one of the books that they always talk about as being like one of the first, especially in Australia.

I'm not sure if it was in the curriculum or anything in New Zealand where you're from, but it was very much like one of the first books that was counted as YA and started the genre.

It was that and Looking for Alla Brandy.

Did you study it at school?

Was there a lot of books also that were set?

Because part of it's set in New Zealand, especially later in the series.
