Who is Mal Kekapania (and how is she alive)?
Who is Mal? Caleb’s manic pixie dream girl from Two Serpents Rise, who then terrorised the city and was seemingly vaporised, appeared to be a one-and-done antagonist, yet she is back in Wicked Problems. Who is she, and how has she come back?

Demographics of POV characters (UPDATED 2024)
A nerdy deep dive into demographics of POV characters in the Craft Sequence.

Who's who: Tara, Caleb, and Kai
Who are Tara Abernathy, Caleb Altemoc, and Kai Pohala? Often considered the protagonists of their respective books, they play similar roles introducing readers to story, location, and a form of magic. Ultimately, their decisions and character arcs will change the course of history in their world.

Shadow demons in the water, a fugitive father, and an enigmatic cliff runner interrupt Caleb Altemoc’s night of gambling – and may bring down one of the most important cities in the world of Craft. The weakest entry to the series, but it still has some great moments and characters.
