So these are just notes and random things I wrote down from Stephanie Garber's London tour:

● Her favourite character used to be Jacks but now it's Apollo *gasp from the audience*

● She wrote Finale chapter 16 ( the one where it mentioned that a wedding party was turned to stone and the bride's sister took their place) before she wrote Once Upon A Broken Heart, which actually contradicts what everyone believes- that she wrote chapter 16 to set up ouabh.

● In the first draft of ouabh, Evangeline was a spy sent from Valenda to the North to kill Jacks.

● She's written her next book (secret project #7) and it's probably going to be announced around a month after acftl is released.

● When asked if Chaos, Lala and the Valors are going to return she said yes and that there is going to be a Chaos/Lala scene (a scene where Evangeline is like "hey I'm still here guys") (Stephanie's words)

● She said she also has a Chaos/Lala story in her head but I think there was something about Secret project #7 having nothing to do with the ouabh/caraval universe but don't quote me on that.

● Jacks was hard to write in acftl

● Also mentioned that Legend was easy to write until Finale

● When asked about alternate endings she said she:

> she doesn't like writing bonus material

> she feels like she puts everything she wants to in the book

> they are not canon

> there is one light ending, one dark ending and one that's in the middle (out of all the bonus epilogues/alternate endings)

> she prefers the dark ending and doesn't really like the light ending

● There actually is something about Jacks liking apples and sometimes the colours were intentional

A curse for true love, Eva and Jacks

Is Evangeline just going to grow old and eventually die while Jacks still is ageless?Or based on the established lore, Jacks falling in love with Evangeline would lead to him becoming mortal, allowing them to share a life together without the barrier of immortality separating them? (Like Tella and Legend)

𝒀𝒐𝒖'𝒍𝒍 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒎𝒆 𝒂𝒕 𝒐𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒚 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒅𝒊𝒅 𝒐𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒖𝒑𝒐𝒏 𝒂 𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎

Evangeline could not help but return the smile of the too familiar stranger

𝒀𝒐𝒖, 𝒎𝒚 𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒚, 𝑰 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒐 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖

𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒕

The devastatingly handsome stranger grin, and it grows wider; his pair of dimples even deeper.

Evangeline couldn’t help but get lost in his eyes, and perhaps deeper in his soul that she could somehow hear his thoughts

𝑴𝒚 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆, 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒔𝒂𝒘 𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒊𝒅𝒅𝒍𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎

𝑴𝒚 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆, 𝒔𝒖𝒄𝒉 𝒂 𝒔𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒕 𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎, 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒋𝒐𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒔 𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏

His hands reached out for hers and somehow her heart seeks out his.

Eye to eye, hand in hand, the two walked through the forest (re)living the best day in their lives…

EvaJacks in a nutshell.

[saciada]

“Certa vez, Evangeline ouviu uma lenda sobre um casal de estrelas fadado ao fracasso. As duas estrelas atravessavam os céus, atraídas pela luz uma da outra, mesmo sabendo que, caso se aproximassem demais, seu desejo terminaria em uma explosão incendiária. Era desse jeito que Jacks olhava para ela agora. Como se nenhum dos dois fosse sobreviver, caso se aproximassem mais.”

How did I just realize that the book covers for the OUABH trilogy held some kind of relation to the love triangle between Evangeline, Jacks and Apollo

btw, I got the pics from @sweetingseva

(Jacks) (Evangeline) (Apollo)

the first book having a broken heart, representing jacks

the second book having a key, representing evangeline

and the third book having a tree (there's a theory that it's the phoenix tree from when eva first met apollo), in other words possibly representing apollo

notice how the books in order seems like jacks-evangeline-apollo

I have a theory that we might get apollo's pov in the third book

“You're in the wind, I'm in the water nobody's son, nobody's daughter” that's how Once Upon a Broken Heart was introduced to me. It happened in a short video suggesting books with the vibe of Lana Del Rey's 'Chemtrails over the Country Club,' and boy, did they get it right, the pain is real! I'm utterly speechless about this series. I devoured all three books in less than a week, or to be precise, I swallowed them without any ceremony. I cried, laughed, had my heart broken into a thousand pieces, and fell in love with Evangeline and Jacks on every page! This book is for everyone who craves a fairytale feel with a slow-burn romance, just the way I like it hahah

The best one has to be The Ballad of Never After, what an incredible story! I still can't believe Stephanie Garber gave us that ending. My chest hurt for days, unable to digest what I had read.

As for the last one, I felt like something was missing. It's not bad. I found the conclusion satisfactory. However, I sensed a gap, whether the vibe got lost in the plot or the characters felt a bit distant from their earlier selves, I can't tell. Nonetheless, it remains one of the best series I've read! And now, I can't help but think about Evajacks all the time, I just can't live without them anymore! 🩷🩷🩷

“According to the myths, the Prince of Hearts was not capable of love because his heart had stopped beating long ago. Only one person could make it work again: his one true love. They said his kiss was fatal to all but her—his only weakness—and as he’d sought her, he’d left a trail of corpses.”

“Dear—Prince,” she started haltingly. She’d never prayed to a Fate, and she didn’t want to get it wrong.

Evangeline couldn’t imagine a more tragic existence. If one Fate were to have sympathy for her situation, it would be the Prince of Hearts.

“So I’m here, begging for your help. The wedding is today, and I need you to stop it.”

“𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞, 𝐈 ��𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤. 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐋𝐮𝐜 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐥. 𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧.”

“Now, that was a pathetic speech.” Two slow claps followed the indolent voice, which sounded just a few feet away.”

“In one elegant move, the young man reached into the inner pocket of his ripped burgundy coat, pulled out a pure white apple, and took one bite. Dark red juice dripped from the fruit to his long, pale fingers and then onto the pristine marble steps.”

“Don’t do that!” Evangeline hadn’t meant to yell.“You’re being disrespectful.”

“𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐠𝐢𝐫𝐥 𝐡𝐞 𝐤𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞?” The awful young man punctuated his words with another wide bite of his apple.”

Butterflies fluttered to life inside Evangeline’s stomach. Scared ones. All frantic wings and too-fast beats, warning her to get out of there, to run, to flee. But she couldn’t look away.”

“𝐇𝐞 𝐠𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞, 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐥. But she imagined even angels would need to beware of him. ”

“It’s you,” she whispered. “𝒀𝒐𝒖’𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑷𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒔”
