Let me know if you want to know who the next one is about. :wink:
Please tell. :)
Just in case curiosity didn't get the better of you... :lol:

We go back to before the first book again and we get to see Lundy's story. :D

What is grief, if not love persevering?

Grief is just love with no place to go.

Okay, on to the good stuff (sorry I was missing before).

Things I love...
I love Rini's entrance. I also love the thought of her cake dress. I want to see someone cosplay that!
I love the ending of this book, seeing Nadya go home, and her water hand, and I really would like to meet Burian.
Learning about Christopher's cancer and that he can't be away from his flute, I almost feel like this means we'll get his book sooner rather than later...but who knows?
I love Nancy's world, and how they refer to the visitors as hot and fast. (In a different series, the author describes a characters place of comfort as the "hot warm dark" and it just fits perfectly, and I love the way she describes things like that.)
I love Confection for Sumi and Rini, but I don't think I'd want to live there. :lol:
I also very much want to see Cora's world, and I'm fairly certain we'll get it and it will be a difficult read, given the subject matter, but it will also be epic and hopeful, and hopefully happy!
Such good points!

I would love to learn more about Christopher, his Skeleton Girl, and the flute made from one of his bones. You're right, thinking about living in Confection isn't too pleasing. Maybe for a vacation :lol:

Yes, Cora's story will be hard in a lot of ways, but I would love to read about her experiences and hope it would be happy, too!

I'm right there with you. :lol:
Cakes and cookies and pies! Breads and brownies. Baking a world would be way too much fun to resist!

It'll be interesting to see what Kade learns if he keeps watch on Layla like he said. :)
Yummy! :D

Me too!

Haha, yes, my curiosity! For whatever reason, when I first read the synopsis, I thought of Kade, but then I read further and learned it was Lundy. At first, I was a little disappointed because I thought we were going to get more of Kade, but then I remembered how much I enjoyed Lundy in the first book, and now I'm excited again. :D
