Why do most of my favourite characters end up being side characters who either get ignored by the fandom or side characters that die

hi! i loved Priory and Bone Season but havent gotten TMO and TSR yet but i really wanted to know if we're ever gonna find out what the seventh card was when Liss attempted to hold a tarot reading for Paige? Is it discussed in TMO or TSR, or in a future book? If its in TMO or TSR, im ok with spoilers...

It will be revealed in the final book.

Do any of you guys re-read THE BONE SEASON and then you get to Seb and Liss' ends and you just can't and it's not okay and then you remember the author is responsible and sometimes you're like

Getting attached to a side character that gets no fandom attention is one of the best and worst feelings

Which tarot cards does Lisa use, both before and after (art/design-wise)?

Liss uses a Rider-Waite deck initially, then Thoth.

so here for liss and paige content

Does Liss’ tarot card reading for Paige in TBS predict the plot of the series? The first three books seem to match up fairly well...

They don’t precisely correspond to each book, but there are certainly links between the tarot reading and the events of the series as a whole.

Will we(I mean Paige) ever find out what happened to Liss' parents? Love your books btw :)

Elspeth and Paige originally discussed Liss’s parents in The Song Rising, but the book went through some pretty brutal cuts and that dialogue was removed. If I see an opportunity I’ll put it back, but if not, I’ll tell you elsewhere at some point.

when asked about your poc characters i noticed the descriptors were quite vague! you said south asian and east asian, i was wondering if you could list your asian characters with their specific ethnicities (korean, vietnamese, chinese, filipino, indian, etc)

Sure. 

Some of these characters are mixed-race, but their Asian descent is specifically: 

Abbess – Indian

Elspeth Lin – Chinese

Hari Maxwell – Indian

Divya ‘Ivy’ Jacob – Indian

Liss Rymore – Chinese

Nadine Arnett – Japanese

Zeke Sáenz – Japanese
