Lauryn asked Morgan Rhodes:

Hi :D I was wondering which animals could represent Magnus and Jonas, in terms of both physique and mind and why ? Thank you for taking some of your time to answer our questions ! And I also wanted to thank you for writing such beautiful books, you really have an amazing talent and I'm so glad I had the chance to discover your novels :)

Morgan Rhodes Thank you so much, Lauryn!!

I see Magnus as a cat...a big cat, like a jaguar. But not an adult jaguar, kind of a teenage jaguar who thinks he's all tough until the adults knock him down, or he has to go hunt for his own food and he finds that he enjoys playing with the gazelles more than eating them. (FYI I have no idea if jaguars hunt gazelles.)

I see Jonas more as a dog. A mutt, probably, and enthusiastic and loyal, but trained to protect his people from harm. Perhaps a big easily distracted by shiny frisbees or other pretty female dogs, but he means well.
