I'm curious if Joe would expound upon what exactly they saw in TBI that caught their eye. The blog mentions that "They fished The Blade Itself from the slush pile, more or less". You know, as I thought more about his blog entry I was fascinated by something I saw. It'd be far different if he were like some other authors who just stopped writing in the middle of a series with their story at a cliff hanger. His story sits at a natural conclusion as is with a dynamic world that you can picture going on off-screen. I'm okay if somehow he were to drop First Law books. Given his love of games he should have considered writing a game for a new project not just writing a tie-in.ĮDIT now it makes sense why he had "the vikings" at the top of his "to watch" list :) I'd love to know what kind of games he was considering doing some tie-in fiction for. I just hope he doesn't have too much fun with the new series and decides to forget about the first law books! This way we should get a great "first law" book in a few years and potentially a new series to enjoy in the meantime. I think it would have showed if he'd tried to go straight into another First law series without being 100% behind it. I'm happy Joe took the decision to try something else while getting ready for the next trilogy. Chris Wooding's books probably fit into YA and they are excellent. I'm sure it'll read well and there's other fantasy works that could be considered YA that I've enjoyed and there seems to be a lot of leeway in when YA becomes Mature.
