Marie Lu, New York Times bestselling author of the LEGEND and the YOUNG ELITES series, talks about her newest book, WARCROSS as well as BATMAN: NIGHTWALKER and the forthcoming KINGDOM OF BACK. Marie chats about the lag between the eternal optimism of tech and moral questioning of its powers, how writing about evil characters was almost too much for her, and the responsibility of writing a real woman's story.   Marie Lu 2.0 Show Notes Nice Try, Jane Sinner by Lianne Oelke Marie Lu's first First Draft interview Zelda (video game) Tahereh Mafi (listen to her First Draft episode here or read the transcript here) Assassin's Creed (video game) Street Fighter (video game) Mortal Kombat (video game) World of Warcraft (video game) Overwatch (video game) Battlefield (video game) Call of Duty (video game) Pokémon Go (video game) Batman: Nightwalker by Marie Lu  Leigh Bardugo (listen to her First Draft interview here) Batman (animated series) Darkwing Duck (animated series) The Dark Knight (movie) The Kingdom of Back by Marie Lu Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Mozart's sister, Maria Anna Mozart Amadeus (movie) Pan's Labyrinth (movie) Hamilton (musical) Lin-Manuel Miranda Renee Ahdieh (listen to her First Draft interview here)
