Cecily Luft asked Intisar Khanani:

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. ?

Intisar Khanani Thank you so much for writing, Cecily. I must say, this is the best "Pending Question" Goodreads has ever wanted me to answer. ;) I am so, so happy that you enjoyed Memories of Ash so much, and that it touched you in the way that it did. I was very nervous about how long it took me to get Memories of Ash "right" before publishing, and I'm so very glad that I didn't rush it past what I was able to do well. I've now spent about two months working on the outline for Book 3. I make occasional forays into editing the early chapters I've already written, but I always end up back at the outline. I've never spent this long outlining, but I'm hopeful that this work up front will deliver an equally good book just a little bit sooner (or at least with a couple less revision rounds!). Here's hoping that you will find the next installment as compelling as you did this one! :)
