Development[edit]
Background[edit]
With an interview with Farozan Akhtar of the Hindustan Times through email, Maas told Akhtar that she had the first idea of writing House of Earth and Blood when she was on a plane for one of her book tours and listening to some music.[10] She went on with saying:
At the time, I had no idea who the characters were, or what their world was, but I just saw this epic, emotional scene (what is now the climax of the book) play out in my head. It moved me so much that I began crying (in the middle of the plane!), and I knew that if I was having such an intense reaction to just a kernel of a scene, it was a story I had to write.[10]
Characters[edit]
While writing House of Earth and Blood and the character Bryce, Maas told NPR's Lulu Garcia Navarro that she, herself, experienced the same things as Bryce did—depression, anxiety, [and] PTSD.[11]
