      Hi Grace! Thank you so much for your feedback. This post is still a bit of a work in progress, not to mention it’s sometimes very difficult to find art that isn’t AI or spoilery! I just finished up updating the descriptions of the characters from Throne of Glass and added the new characters appearing in Crown of Midnight. Let me know if there’s someone specific you’re looking for!
