Quotes

“I don’t ever see any character as 100 percent good or 100 percent evil…”
“Some people like ‘happily ever after,’ but I don’t think that’s me. I’m always writing from some difficult place and seeing how the character survives … or doesn’t. When I really want to be comforted myself what I look for is a story about how somebody could survive something really difficult. There are happy stories out there but I think some of them may raise false expectations for teens…”
“I succeeded in making you care. If you feel nothing, I failed you as a storyteller. I love happy endings, but some readers need the darker stories, too. The stories that don’t make them feel disturbed by their own reality because it doesn’t reflect what they’re used to seeing in fiction. There’s some comfort in harsher stories, and witnessing how one character rebuilds after tragedy can provide hope for the reader.”
“The Death-Cast universe is my favorite universe that I've created. It was born out of my fear of unexpected death and has ultimately changed my perspective on life. I make bolder choices in my life, almost like I have nohing to lose, but I could definitely take more risks. One of the worst parts about creating this universe, though, is that I spend so much time in it, and it's not real! I truly wish Death-Cast existed, and I often have to remind myself that it doesn't.”
“Robbie Couch: A lot has changed since They Both Die at the End was published in 2017. How have the last eight years of real-world changes affected how you've written the series?Adam Silvera: I never thought I would get super political in this series, but as I was expending the world and creating the Death Guard and pro-natural ideologies, I couldn't help but draw from the information wars this country has been facing. I truly hated how easily it was to create a cult that hates the truth.”
“You've made a name for yourself. And no one remembers the old one.”
