    I have been HUGE fan of Victoria ever since Red Queen came out! I’m a bit newer to Soman, but he is seriously the best! I’m loving all the insights we get from these 2 amazing authors and the look into their world! The publishing industry is crazy and being an author right now is hard, so I’m thankful to these 2 for sharing all the things with us!
