A NOTE FROM VICTORIA SCOTT
I can’t believe how amazing these past couple of weeks has been. Fire & Flood is officially out in the world, and it’s an incredible feeling. To see it on shelves and hear readers’ reactions to some of my beloved scenes has provided me heaps of writing fuel. And this is good news since I’ve been elbow deep in revisions for book two.
Ah, the second book. What can I tell you without spoiling the ride? Well, I can say this—I believe in packing each book with more action than the one preceding it. I believe in continually raising stakes, testing characters, and strengthening relationships. There are many scenes in book two that break my heart, and others that make me laugh. There will be frostbite and avalanches, oceanic storms and twisted new rules. There will be deaths of beloved characters, and new Pandoras to adore. And there will be fierce battles between Contenders and Pandoras alike over the one thing everyone wants—the Cure. For it all comes down to this:
Who will be the one to cross the finish line first?
The answer may surprise you.
Now, let’s get on with what you’re here for—the first nugget of information about book two! The official title and release season are…
SALT & STONE
Haha I love the ongoing theme of alliteration and the two word title that's separated with an ampersand. It may be totally weird of me, but I love when titles are matched like that! I still need to read Fire & Flood, though, but I'm definitely excited to now that I know the second book's title.
ReplyDeleteMe too! And not weird at all - in fact, I secretly get upset when titles don't follow the same pattern as their predecessors (in series). For example, Shannon Messenger's Keeper of the Lost Cities series. The second book is called "Exile". GAH.
DeleteThank you for the comment, Eileen!
Ooooh, Salt & Storm is a great title! After reading Fire & Flood on release day, I'm dying to get book 2!! *adding Salt & Storm to TBR list now*
ReplyDeleteSalt & Storm is a book by Kendall Kulper! You mean Salt & Stone. And YES, I agree! Although I suppose I've been waiting a little longer than you have ;)
