(You can ask anything else, too. Q&A vid will be posted on the 15th.)

Could you expand on the social role of Breeders in the broken earth setting? I found it difficult to understand what purpose Breeders have in a com in the fifth season setting. It seems like producing new children are something that individuals with any use name could achieve. It's also mentioned that Strongbacks (labourers) are only one step above commless during a season. It seems like producing more mouths to feed is an even less useful skill than labour during a season. Is the child of a Breeder a Breeder?

Which character did you enjoy writing the most? Which character was hardest to write?
