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?
Intisar Khanani
I am so honored that you enjoyed Thorn so much, and sacrificed sleep for it--that has to be one of the highest compliments an author can receive! Alyrra and I have spent many years together, and I love her dearly, but I'm afraid I wont be writing more of her story from her perspective. However, if you pick up my free short story, "The Bone Knife," you'll meet another character whom I think you'll enjoy as well. Rae has a story coming in a companion novel / trilogy to Thorn, where she will end up working for Alyrra and you'll see some developments and conclusions from her perspective. So there will be more of Alyrra, just not through her eyes. :)
If you'd like updates on when to look for that release, you can sign up for my author newsletter (which never goes out more than once a month, and typically goes out less!), or just visit me again here on GoodReads. My guess at this point is that it will be early next year before I'll have news on that storyline. Thanks so much for writing!

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?

Hi! I wanted to say that I really enjoyed reading Thorn - never expected to see a rewrite, as I'd read the indie novel a long time ago, but it was a really pleasant surprise! I was wondering if we'll be seeing more of Stonemane and the Fair Folk in future stories, maybe in The Theft of Sunlight? If you can answer that :-)
