I'm thrilled that you loved Book 2—thanks for letting me know! I think there are still some unanswered questions, don't you? And I for one want to see what happens next for Nora and Aruendiel...how their relationship develops...what kind of magician she becomes....
Short answer: yes! But please be patient. It will take a couple of years (fewer than seven, though!) to tell this story properly.

These are great questions! It's clear that you've read the novel very carefully. I'm not going to answer them here because—spoilers! But if you listen to this audio excerpt from the new book, I think you'll find one of your suppositions confirmed: https://fb.watch/3GKKZp5mp0/

Hi, Robin! Well, I didn't make the deadline you proposed—my apologies!—but Alyssa Bresnahan did record the sequel, and you are right. She is perfect. Happy listening!

My audiobook publisher, Recorded Books, has really believed in this book and supported it, just as they did with The Thinking Woman's Guide to Real Magic. Their production of the first novel was fantastic, so I was delighted when they decided to bring out How to Talk to a Goddess and Other Lessons in Real Magic as an audiobook original. A print/eBook edition is coming, but it's going to take a little more time. (Correcting proofs now!) Thanks for asking, and I hope you enjoy How to Talk to a Goddess in whichever format you read it!
