Probably will be Aja. I worry they give this a young adult tone because it starts with him as a teen

Aja and her family are black in the books. I’ve always pictured her as the actress from The Walking Dead and Black Panther.

Not specifically that actress but that look is how I pictured Aja as well.

The other confirmed black characters are the Valii-Raths (Tactus/The Minotaur) and Orion.

Will be interesting to see how they will cast a bunch of Asian South Africans for the Rim Golds if we get more than one movie.

I just wish there was some way to have Tim Gerard Reynolds involved since his voice has been has been the series to date

I agree with the above regarding Aja, that look would be good for her

I know they won’t be able to match the size proportions in the book but will be curious if they do cast smaller actors to play the lower colors etc

I believe Pax and his mom were darker skinned, but not black. Closer to Samoan. Kavax was fair skin with red beard. Don't recall how the rest of that family was described.

Reynolds is one of my favorite narrators. I’m glad they went back to only him narrating after having a cast for Iron Gold.

They have to make them rated R. I get the first book could probably be pg-13 but if you make one of them pg-13 its more than likely the rest will be and that just really does not work after book one.

This is Aja’s card from the board game, which depicts her exactly how you suggested.

I know it may be impossible to believe now, when everything is dark and broken, but you will survive this pain, little one. Pain is a memory. You will live and you will struggle and you will find joy. And you will remember your family from this breath to your dying days, because love does not fade. Love is the stars, and its light carries on long after death.
