    He's slowly becoming one of the most significant authors of the modern age.

    Marlon is so brillant and engaging. I have so much respect for him! As a Caribbean person, I'm so glad to see Caribbean authors on here. I can't wait to read this novel! Great interview! 🇹🇹🇯🇲

    Such a lovely man. His novels are great and always has time for his readers. So interesting when he is speaking could listen to him all day. Yes I'm a big fan.

    His damsels are not in distress (mostly), but most of them are evil, though. Food for thought.

      Keep in mind that his plan is for a trilogy with each book telling the same story from a different perspective. So, it's entirely possible that the portrayal of the characters will be drastically different in the subsequent books.

    Really enjoying the book.
    Quite challenging but well worth it.
