.LacyMB sits down with adalyngrace_ to discuss her bestselling new book Belladonna, her love for the Victorian era, and why Signa's story felt so important to tell.
duology—a dangerous high seas adventure about princesses, pirates, mermaids, and more—may find themselves a bit surprised by her sophomore series, which represents quite a significant shift in tone.
“My thing with the show is I could never tell if it was supposed to be nice and lighthearted or if they were trying to be spooky,” Grace laughs.
Interestingly enough, however, the two series do touch on similar ideas when it comes to how women are treated within our larger society and feature similar feisty, quippy, and utterly capable heroines.], about how women are seen in the world and how they interact with the world,” Grace says. “I think it’s going to feel pretty relevant to a lot of people. Because even though these are Victorian problems, they’re problems we still deal with today.
“I love the Victorian era and I also thought it was a very good period to kind of examine [gender roles and expectations] because there are all these very structured societal rules. But it’s really funny that a lot of the things—and it’s not funny actually it’s really sad—we, unfortunately, still all deal with,” she says.
“I was kind of afraid, I think, to personify Death, even though I always wanted to, just because it’s a trope,” Grace says. “Everything is a trope, and personifying death is nothing new. But what can I bring that’s new to the table to this if I’m going to do this?”
