Building Character with Sabah from Edge of the Falls
Welcome to my blog feature, Building Character, in which
you get to meet a character from a book. Talking to a character outside of
their book is fun! Huge. Amounts. Of fun.
This week
Strands of Thought is host to Sabah from Edge of the Falls. Welcome, Sabah.
Tell us a little about you.
My name is Sabah. I’m the
oldest child the Mistress rescued after being thrown from the City.
That sounds intriguing. What conflict are you currently
up against?
A society that threw me away as a child, and a guardian who
has more secrets than any one person ever should.
What have you learned about yourself or your friends while
trying to resolve your conflict?
No one is what they seem—people I have loved my whole life
have been lying to me. When you can’t trust people that close to you, who can
you trust?
Oh, that is tough. Tell us about your best friend.
Berg? Oh. Well. It’s complicated. He was adopted at the same
time I was, and he saved my life. He’s always been there—I can’t imagine life
without him, honestly.
Then, there’s Arjun. Who also saved my life—and who made me
face some of the things about the Mistress that I didn’t want to see. He’s not
always easy to be around—and he’s bossy—but I sorta love that about him.
Sabah, if you could change one thing in this world, what
would you change?
How scared we all are. It’s why Citizen’s live with the
rules of the Commission—and I think if we were able to let go of our fear, we
could actually live.
What words of wisdom would you like to share with our
readers?
Sometimes, you just have to do what scares you. It’s hard.
It’s painful. There’s a chance you won’t get the outcome you want. But until
you take a chance, you’ll always
wonder what might have happened.
Thanks for visiting with us, Sabah. We wish you luck in
your tenuous situation.
Lovely readers:,here is more on Sabah’s story Edge of
the Falls:
Sabah always knew
where she belonged—with Berg—and what was expected of her—to care for the other
children the Mistress took in.
But when a ban-wolf saves her life, things begin to change.
Arjun isn’t like the other ban-wolves, the savage creatures that are barely human. He’s gentle and furious and as Sabah spends time with him, she can’t seem to get him out of her mind. But in a world of darkness, control, and danger, is there a place for two outcasts?
A romantic retelling of Beauty and the Beast in a dark dystopia.
