And it was always going to be a quest, really to avenge them, but to avenge everyone against this creature this being who believes that he can make himself immortal by killing other people.

So that's something I created before she died but, yes, it seeped into every part of the books.
这就是在她去世之前我的构思,是的,这种想法渗透到了书中的每个部分。
I think, in retrospect, now I've finished, I see just how much it informed everything.

And I really, deeply regret that. I really, really, really wish I'd seen her.

It didn't matter what she looked like. I would have make it easier.
不管她当时看上去怎么样,我现在都会好过一点。
Because I do believe that the truth which is another theme in the books and certainly stems from my own past.
