Jonathan Stroud is so magnificent at writing female characters that my jaw dropped when I looked at the book jacket.
Lucy being abrasive but also nervous when first meeting Lockwood. Holly describing Sir Rupert Gale getting too close to her and breathing down her neck. Flo being severely traumatized by ghosts, leading to her mania and homelessness.
I seriously cannot even get into how good so much of the commentary was in Lockwood and Co. Talking about CPTSD, Lockwood’s suicidal behavior, child labor, capitalizing off of tragedy, large corporations, like Stroud is that guy. But there is something so amazing about him writing such relatable and compelling female characters that makes him one of my favorite authors of all time.
From 18 January 2021, after the release of Season 1
Tell us about your characters
Brenock: He's a bit of a laugh. He doesn't fit into most social situations. He's only got...one, very close friend. Which is our...our title hero, Alex Rider. And yeah he's just a very sweet boy who gets himself into sticky situations.
Tell us about the relationship between your characters and why it's important to the show
Brenock: The relationship between Tom and Alex is very...pure, and sweet, and just...open and honest, until it's not. And that creates some beautiful...rifts, between the two friends, that they have to overcome.
Otto: Mm. Yeah, I think, Tom is...Tom is Alex's heart. Tom and Jack are Alex's heart. And they give him strength.
Brenock: I like that.
