just read your Thorn book, Really impressed but now also a little glum. As you stated on your site, I read with some disapointment that you would not be visiting Alyrra/ Thorn directly as a main character. As much as Rae is a work in progress, I was just wondering whether you would ever look to wrap up the loose ends directly for thorn or would you only be doing this is the future Rae books?
Intisar Khanani
I'm so glad you enjoyed Thorn! Yes, there are definitely some loose ends left both in the world and in Alyrra's life. What about her awful brother? And the kids who disappear? And...?
I'm afraid I won't be revisiting Alyrra / Thorn's life as a main character. But... Rae will end up working for Alyrra within a couple weeks of the end of "Thorn." Tricky me! So you will definitely get to see some developments and--conclusions?--through her eyes. In fact, the main reason Alyrra brings Rae on to work for her is because she wants someone to start investigating the disappearances in the city, something Alyrra can't do well as princess.
I know it's not the same as another Alyrra story, but hopefully this will brighten your expectations. (And now you know more than I've told anyone else on the internet!)

Dear Ms Khanani, Will there be a second Thorn? I just stayed up half the night reading it, it is absolutely incredible! Your characters especially the Princess Alyrra are so strong. She has become my absolute favorite female protagonist. There seems to be a lot of potential for a sequel. Will there be?

This isn't so much a question, as a comment. I wanted you to know that I am very, very impressed with Memories of Ash. I enjoyed Sunbolt, but did not expect the sequel to be so compelling and beautifully written. I am eagerly awaiting the third installment. Thank you for making us such a wonderful world and for peopling it with such fascinating characters and creatures. Your writing truly touched my heart. ?
