Wucaii is an urban
fantasy/post-apocalyptic book. We were afforded the opportunity to have an
email-interview with the author, Pembroke Sinclair. This is completely spoiler
free.
It has been 500
years since Aelana has been home, and a lot has changed in that time--including
her.
As a half-dragon,
half-human hybrid, she has been traveling the universe destroying worlds.
Both anxious and excited to return, she wonders what she will find. Her
memories of home are filled with pain and loss, especially for her first and
only love. She knows he won't be there, but will his memory? Will
her anguish remain?
What waits for
Aelana on her home world? Find out in this exciting urban fantasy
novel by Pembroke Sinclair.
What genre would
you place Wucaii in?
I would say urban
fantasy. To be honest, finding a genre for this story was a bit difficult.
Could you briefly
summarise Wucaii?
It is the story of
Aelana, who is trying to come to terms with who she is and finding her place in
the universe.
A half-dragon,
half-human hybrid sounds quite eccentric! What personality qualities did you
give Aelana, and how would she vary from a standard human?
Well, the most
apparent difference would be in how she looks—she has scales and wings.
However, she still retains a lot of human qualities, including emotions and
uncertainty. Part of her has the dragon’s logical side and magical power,
so she has to figure out how to balance those two sides.
What was your
inspiration in writing this?
I am fascinated with
hybrids and what it means to be human, so it just came together.
Which character in
Wucaii was your favourite to write about?
Aelana. I like
her flaws and uncertainty, but it was also a blast writing about her strengths.
What is your
favourite quote in Wucaii?
“Saving everyone was
impossible, but not everyone was worth saving.”
Are there any
authors or books in particular that influenced your writing?
Not really. I
love to read, and I try to read a lot, so I find inspiration and influences in
various places.
You've written in a
fantastic range of genres; which is your preferred?
Zombies and young
adult.
What is your
favourite book?
I have multiple
favorite books, but the one I read over and over is Alice in Wonderland by
Lewis Carroll.
Once we're all
cleared from exams, we'll hopefully get a chance to read Wucaii ourselves and
put up a full review of the novel, let us know your thoughts on the book below.
