I wanted the feel in these books to be like an epic fantasy, with kings, queens, dukes and court politics, but of course like what I was explaining before, about making the science make sense, you have to make the politics make sense, too.

Summary

This quote refers to the intention of creating a rich and immersive fictional world that combines elements of epic fantasy with scientific accuracy and logical political dynamics. The author wanted to establish a setting reminiscent of a traditional fantasy story, complete with royalty, nobility, and intricate court intrigue. However, they also believe that by grounding the scientific aspects of the story in plausibility, the political elements must similarly adhere to logical reasoning to maintain coherence and authenticity within the narrative.
