YA FANTASY - BETWEEN THE SEA AND STARS (The Lena Series, #1) by Chantal Gadoury Narrator: Dollicie Webb

BETWEEN THE SEA AND STARS

The Lena Series, #1

by Chantal Gadoury
Narrator: Dollcie Webb
Length: 6 hours 53 minutes
Released: December 20th 2018

Publisher: The Parliament House
Genre: Young Adult Fantasy

By Author Chantal Gadoury

• Lena - Gemma Arterton
  • When I first saw Gemma in Tess of D’Urbervilles, she was everything I imagined my character, Lena, a merrow turned human, to be.
• Soren Emil - Matt Smith
  • Soren holds a special place in my heart from a time before I started officially writing “Between the Sea and Stars.” I’ve always associated his character looking like Matt Smith, which is why I’d cast him as such.
• Jace Wyatt - Aaron Taylor-Johnson
  • I’ve been inspired by Aaron Taylor-Johnson since the first time I saw him in “Anna Karenina.” When I started to look for someone who reminded me of Jim Hawkins (the real inspiration behind Jace Wyatt) I saw Aaron played a role in a movie called Albert Nobbs. At that moment, I knew I had found the right choice of a “face character” and movie cast for Jace.
• Edwin Wyatt - Max Von Sydow
  • Edwin was a character I had planned to have in the story of “Between the Sea and Stars,” but suddenly he appeared, and became a character that I fell in love instantly. He is the sweetest of men, and so wise. When I started to look for a face that could envelope everything about Edwin, it was hard. I had been torn between Richard Harris, and Sir Ian McKellen, but when I saw Max Von Sydow, in this photo - I really felt like I had found the face of Edwin perfectly.
• Asger - Rohit Khandelwal
  • I knew as I was writing Asger, I was trying to bring in more diverse of characters - different skin colors, tail colors, - just different from Lena and the characters that I was already planning on land. And I really loved just how different Asger became. I found the photo of Rohit as I was trying to figure out Asger, and what he’d look like - he was an inspiration right from the beginning.
• Lord Jarl - Jeremy Irons
  • I went through a huge phase of watching “The Borgias” right before I had written “Between the Sea and Stars,” and kinda just loved Jeremy Irons as an actor. I know he could play evil - and well. And I know he’d adapt the character Lord Jarl perfectly.
