@YourLocalWriterAngie Hi! Thank you so much, I guess you could say the book is kind of on hiatus? Not intentionally though? I'm a University student and I just finished a semester so I've been too busy to write, but since it's my winter break now I'm hoping to get as much done as I can. Hopefully in the new year I'll be able to post regularly if I can sort of just, get a first draft done lol. Sorry for being so inconsistent with posting, but thank you for reading my fic regardless!! ❤️

@jimbob1999 They're certainly a very interesting culture, I really enjoyed reading about them. Athens was also very interesting politically and culturally, but for some reason I always found Sparta more intriguing lol. I definitely wanted to make Theodosia strong in some ways but weak in others since she isn't actually an experienced warrior like the people she was based off because while she has that identity and knowledge, she lacks in proper experience. Plus, that identity never included falling in love especially since she is made of wax. I read about Spartan marriage and it sounded so complicated, I still don't fully understand it, so I would imagine it was never her top priority lol. I wanted to show her weaknesses but her strength to overcome them. I also wanted her to resemble a more modern girl, because in the film franchise they never really take the ancient civilization part too seriously and a lot of the characters are more relatable than they actually would be, so I figured I would carry that through in my own story (plus it is way easier that way lol)

@kensie_ford the cover is perfect it what caught my eye at first :) i love leaning about ancient civilisations too! So im enjoying learning about the spartan culture and their view on spartan women through your book :) i love how the main character is very stong and a determined warrior ready to defend her people and her friends including larry lol i think its amazing having the main female character a born warrior an expert in battle but unexperienced when it comes ot attraction.  :)

@jimbob1999 I'm so glad it caught your eye, I was wondering if the book cover was too..generic lol. Also, I took ancient civ in highschool and I always found the Spartan people the most interesting out of all the cultures and civilizations we learned about (even though they are not without their flaws) because of how brave and strong they were. I also loved learning about a civilization that respected its female counterparts and I thought a young Spartan girl would make for an interesting character :)
