Spoiler

"Multiple queer characters die; multiple queer characters also survive. The deaths are not presented as being related to the characters’ sexuality, and it is not treated as a punishment for their sexual identities. As a queer author, I value letting queer characters experience a wide variety of tragic and happy experiences (when handled carefully by a queer writer). My hope is that these deaths are treated sensitively and with care, as a necessary component of the story, not contributing to a dangerous narrative about queer characters’ value in fiction."
