It seems like every time I get major Marie Lu news that I can’t wait to share with everybody, I’m at work. I spend my 15 minute breaks on Twitter; that’s when I see them. I knew Marie Lu had some news to share with us either this week or next, but I couldn’t imagine that she was going to write a FOURTH book to Legend! I’m so excited!
Oh, and it’s supposed to come out NEXT FALL! I was a little disappointed last month when Ms. Lu said that Kingdom of Back wouldn’t be coming out until 2020. Goodreads had been saying it was a 2019 release, so I figured I had over a year to wait for a new book from her. This might be why there was the delay. I do have some short stories to read (I plan on reviewing the Slasher Girls and Monster Boys anthology later this month, which has a story by her in it), but we get a whole new book next year. Yay!
Oh, and that’s not the ONLY good news today! She will have another book called Skyhunter coming out! It looks like Skyhunter is going to be a duology.
There is an article about the deal in the Washington Post.
So this last 30 days has been an AMAZING reading month for me. Not only have I read some of the best books this year (Wildcard, Enchantée, Muse of Nightmares, more Mortal Instruments books), I get this news. When I read this on my last break, I practically floated through the last hour of work! And of course whenever anybody asked how I was, I told them “outstanding!” or some other thesaurus variant of the word. If they asked why I was doing so well, I told them about the book, LOL.
Have a wonderful day!
I was SO excited when I saw this announcement yesterday. The end of that series left me in tears, and if Lu doesn’t give us an update on June and Day, I will be beside myself.
Yes, I was definitely crying as well. Have you read Life After Legend? That story left me crying, but in a really good way. I can’t wait until Life After Legend II arrives… it shouldn’t be long now, since Warcross came out almost a month ago.
