Faith The Assassin asked Victoria Scott:

Hi, I just finished Fire and Flood and I absolutely loved it. And I'll be reading Slt and Stone soon. Is there an update on the third installment?

Victoria Scott Hi Faith,

Thanks for reading my books! I think all writers are inspired at least in part by the books they read, and of course I read the fantastic THG trilogy. Was it an inspiration in writing FIRE & FLOOD? Of course! But probably not to the extent that some readers may believe. I think it's just one of the first comparison books that comes to mind when trying to explain to a fellow bookish friend what the story feels like.

I've heard people say FIRE & FLOOD is similar to THE MAZE RUNNER, THE HUNGER GAMES...and many readers claim I drew inspiration from Pokemon--though I have little idea what exactly that is. Ha!

The REAL inspiration for my story came from a different book, though no one has ever guessed what that was, and I'll never tell. Hint: It's a very popular book.
