Yes yes 1000% yes. Two side characters ended up being HUGE. Xander, a traitor to Ario's throne - Mara, the wolf shifter who tracked him. They both ended up being hugely important.

The Goddess possesses Ario.
"Each move, each twist, takes hundreds, millions, billions of its cells and nerves working in perfect harmony. It is as complex as the universe. It is unbearably simple. It is a neutron star in a glass box."

Peony, as a siren, is naturally musically inclined and pours her feelings into her music. Priestess Evelyn prays. And of course... the Goddess takes it out on her people.

Back for day 9 of #FantasyIndiesJuly 👀
Ario, as a young prince, definitely relies on his priestess Evelyn, his guard, Michael, and his soulbond Peony. And, of course, his faith in the earth's Goddess, whose motives are maybe not quite so pure... There's also a surprise ally that he comes to rely on

Late for day 6 of #FantasyIndiesJuly!
OH BOY does Heartlines have some ✨️drama✨️. Forced soulbonds? Traitors seeking to repent? Messed up brothers? A distant neglectful former queen? and possibly the worst - the moon and earth gods hate each other and want a divorce.

The funniest character in Heartlines is either the protagonist Ario, who's a snarky dude, or Mara, the wolf shifter who is incredibly self-aware. Ario overall has some more zingers, but Mara's just hit different.

Unsurprisingly I loved some of the GOATS growing up--Road Dahl, Terry Pratchett--and I also ready a lot of the dystopian YA. Scott Westerfeld's Uglies was a fave.

I have a real soft spot for side characters and minor characters who have super deep lore even if it doesn't serve the plot
My 2 faves from Heartlines are side characters. Wolf shifter and atoning traitor? Who needs anything else?
