Yas asked Morgan Rhodes:

Did you know how interesting and beloved the character of Magnus would be from the start? If so, how can an author know when a character's likeability will be key to a series?

Morgan Rhodes I had no idea at the beginning of writing Falling Kingdoms, but by the end I knew there was something special about Magnus. That he has become so beloved by a lot of readers did surprise me. Of course, I do feel that his character arc and growth in the first three books was vital to this affection. If he was the same guy he was at the beginning of book one, I think readers might be rolling their eyes at all of his dark-prince angsting by now. LOL! I know I would!
