Garth - I love your novels so much. I read the Keys to the Kingdom when I was younger, and Lirael when I was slightly older, and they're all just incredible. I can't stress this enough. Seriously. Amazing.

Anyway, my question is: does the walker choose the path, or the path the walker?

Joking, but seriously, what inspires your character names? I've been curious for a long time. Do you just come up with names like Lirael, or is there a significant reason behind them? Why are some characters called things like Sam? What is the logic behind the bell names?

Thank you so much for doing an AMA (and I loved Clariel so much. Damn, that twist at the end.)

...Dude, good guess.

Thanks for such a detailed response! To be honest though, I couldn't put Clariel down (it was really getting in the way of my studies, haha!). That's really interesting - thank you so much and I can't wait for your next novel! :)

I think I'm way to late to the party, but I have a few questions, so. A) how did you get into your profession? I'm pretty obsessed with WW2 and the holocaust (my great grandmother living in Poland at the time of the war) and it seems like an amazing job! B) what books would you suggest on the subject? I loved the book thief, milkweed, anne frank (duh) but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much!!x
