Well, this interview is a bit old ( disappeared) but still Lauren Kate lets us know several things about Torment (mostly the end) and Passion)
PART 1
Today, we are excited to present Part 1 of our two-part interview with Lauren Kate on her new novel Torment. We must warn you that some questions are spoilers, but we have clearly marked so you can choose the answers. Hope you like! (And a HUGE special thanks to both Lauren for answering our questions and Noreen!)
To be an "angel", Daniel does some pretty questionable works. What is your real motivation? Are we going to learn more about their motives in future books? Is it really so cut and dry as "keeping Luce safe?
Well, Daniel is a fallen angel, which means you put something else before God and was expelled from heaven for it. You can not always act as "good", as one might expect that an angel played and there's a reason for that. He has put his love for Luce above all. I would not say that keeping safe Luce is a simple issue, whether it is of utmost importance to his existence and his life is constantly threatened throughout the series. Although she (and reader) can not see, however, he always has your best interest in mind.
In Torment, we finally got to glimpse some of the past lives of Luce. Will we see more of these in the next book?
In the third book we see whole Luce exploring your past lives. We will continue to Luce while tracking more than 5000 years of history. It may be the craziest book I ever write, but I think it will do much to explain the love shared by these two.
The following questions are some spoilers of Torment, so read it only if you agree with that (or if you've read the book):
SPOILER ALERT! At the end of Torment, we feel there is more than you think Luce. Can more information about itself, not only of their past lives, but its role among the angels and demons in the next book?
Of course!
SPOILER ALERT ! At the end of Torment, Callie enters the world of fallen angels. Are you here to stay? Will we see more of their participation in the activities of the next books?
Callie (along with most of the other characters) will play an important role in the books to come, but until PASSION [the next book in the series FALLEN] will I would say to expect a lot of time of Daniel-and-Luce.
SPOILER ALERT! Speaking the end of torment ... Luce's parents! Anything you can tell us about your near future?
One thing that surprised me to write Passion and deeper into the past lives of Luce was how well their parents are in their current life. She will meet many other parents in groups Passion and few of them compared to Harry and Doreen. Luce will meet with parents before and she finally be able to explore with them about what happened.
SPOILER ALERT! Miles. Oh, Miles! It is so good and sweet and charming, and yet ... Is there any reason that you have the feeling that there is more to learn about Miles? Is it really that good?
Yes, it's just great. Are you trying to plant a seed deviated from it in my mind? If he returns as a villain in the fourth book, I know who to blame. Just kidding. For me, Miles is a representation of a life healthy Daniel Luce might have if it were not such a big part of their destiny. It's a good guy. Really!
