1. Origin of the story
Back in October 2019, Sarah Attended the New Your City Comic-Con. In this Interview from the Planel Sarah talks about coming up with the idea for the book, her inspiration was a music piece from the Score of the film Gravity. I think it's pretty amazing how a piece of music can inspire an entirely new world and story and it's always great to find out how authors come up with their stories.2. The Cover and Imagery
Sarah created an amazing Pinterest Board that features various images that most likely inspired her through writing. It's a very good way to get a visual of the book and the characters.There are a lot of Urban Fantasy elements, and it's really exciting that there will be werewolves and angels and other magical creatures, unlike her previous work which mostly featured faes.
We already know how the beautiful cover looks like and it has some clues to the story if you pay close enough attention as you can see in this video from Instagram.
3. This is a brand-new series
If you are asking yourself: Is it necessary to read any of Sarah's previous books? and the answer is: definitely not. This is a brand new series with a brand new world and characters and there is no requirement to read the Throne of Glass or A Court of Thorns and Roses series to enjoy Crescent City.
