OMG! That is so exciting! But does anyone know what TLH is? I don't..
This is getting a little crazy. Sure I am going to read all of them. Dang all the money it will cost...worth it :)
She's not telling anyone, all she's released about it is that it's going to be after TID and before TMI (With Will's kids and stuff).
I dont think CC officially said what TLH stands for...but it's with Lucie and James Herondale for sureAnd then there's the Dark Artifices with Emma Carstairs and Julian Blackthorn (?) So, I wonder what the last one would be about...
I would like her to write about other shadowhunter families from other countries or places, that have a small connections to her other books.
Wait, what's TLH?
My plan at the moment is to do five Shadowhunter series, total. I don’t know if I’ll do any series in the Shadowhunter world beyond that. I don’t know why five exactly — maybe because one of my major literary idols has always been Tamora Pierce and she did five series set in Tortall. :) Maybe I think I have five stories to tell in this world. Maybe I’ll get to the end and want to tell more. Maybe not — I have a stockpile of other worlds and stories in my head; I’m writing one of them by writing Magisterium now, but there are many others.
There is a special sort of enjoyment in developing stories in a created world, because you can take the rules you yourself have invented, and bend them or break them. You can create connections and history — the story of Isabelle’s ruby necklace stretches back all the way to Vampires, Scones and Edmund Herondale. Then again, with a brand new world, you get to make everything up again. It’s like: brand-new baby or adorable five-year old? They’re both good.
(The five Shadowhunter series are TiD, TLH, TMI, TDA, and very far down the road, TWP. Don’t even ask about that one! It’s too far in the future! There are other Shadowhunter projects like The Bane Chronicles and the graphic novel project about the Circle, currently in planning stages and known as TST, but I’m not counting them: I’m only counting book series/trilogies written solely by me.)
