Hi Carlina,

I’m glad to hear that Leena got to come back and play an important role!

So far, the only death that has happened during the course of my chosen novel was one that was explicitly built up to, so I definitely wasn’t shocked by it. I wasn’t too saddened, either, because this character had treated his son pretty badly leading up to that point. I think a main character’s death can definitely make a novel more impactful if the significance of their role is clear.
