Author ameliewenzhao talks to LacyMB about her latest novel CrimsonReign, how it felt to bring a controversial series like BloodHeir to an end, and what she hopes people will take away from Ana's journey.
, she defines herself as a rightful heir to her Empire fighting to depose a tyrannical monarch from the throne. She is very much looking inward and driven by her personal desires: her love for her brother, the puppet Emperor suffering under the villain; the desperate need to return everything to the status quo with what remains of her family on the throne; and the fear of her own monstrous blood Affinity.
Flipping the “princess reclaiming her throne” trope on its head was one of the most satisfying aspects to pull off in this series—and one of the most important themes I wanted to explore. Ana’s journey was never truly about gaining back the throne—her story wasn’t meant to end there. Her arc was all about discovering the injustices of her empire and fighting for those who can’t fight for themselves. She’s perfectly imperfect—and I made her that way—but what she does have is a lot of empathy, a fierce heart of justice, and the ability for action … less so court intrigue and politics .
I’ll just start by saying I love angsty fictional relationships, but I absolutely need mine to go with what makes sense for the character arcs. In, Ana and Ramson began to develop feelings for each other, but they simply had so much baggage that it would have been unrealistic for them to come to love each other before they could even learn to love themselves. In, we saw their jagged edges come together at last.
Personally, I teared up several times over Linn’s subplots . But did you have a favorite secondary character/secondary arc in this trilogy?
