Look, Amber has Petra's face. If that's not Petrified, what is?
:)
And one I wasn't even aware of when I named those two. Petra is named after Peter of Narnia, and Amber's name was inspired by Jadis - AND I WASN'T EVEN AWARE YET THAT THEY LOOKED THE SAME WHEN I NAMED THEM.




How could you ever think of this happening to anyone? That's a horrible death.
On second thought . . . maybe that's how Amber should die.

Now that you have a title, blurb, and a few snippets for the sequel, anyone have any new speculations?


So. Actual speculations:
-Amber will lead some kind of quiet revolution against the kings and queens of Rizkaland.
-Petra will stand against this revolution.
-Because of Amber's sudden popularity, Petra will be much less well-received by Rizkaland than were Andrew and Clara.
Also, a question: Laura said she's seen the point when she dies, so we know she does die eventually- but we also know that her timeline doesn't linearly fit with the rest of the worlds' timeline. Does this mean that people might, possibly, see Laura die, but then a younger Laura would show up sometime later?

So. Actual speculations:
-Amber will lead some kind..."
Good question!!!
I'm pretty sure Amber's going to die... but that's the only thing I'm sure about.

So my younger brother is reading Water Princess, Fire Prince, and frequently tries to get spoilers out of my whenever he reads my books. I just thought I'd share some of the comments and conversations we've had.
Him: So, when Amber is dead, her island will be useless, right?
Me: Maybe. Maybe they'll need it to hold someone else, someone worse.
Him: Like who?
Me: Like the Tela Du.
Him: It's like Andrew's mom when through a door.
Me: Oh, really?
Him: Yep! Laura must have opened a door right as she slammed on the break.
Me: Or someone.
Him: You mean there's other Doorkeepers.
Me: Sure....(Keep in mind, I have no qualms in misleading the boy)
Him: So, like, maybe Alphonse?
Me: Sure...
Him: Andrew's mom is the Tela Du, isn't she?

Those are great speculations. Ooh...
Is Petra a reincarnation of Amber? Maybe she's Renee's younger, long-lost sister...though those too specs probably don't go together.

I feel like the last part of that sentence made no sense but I really don't care right now.
Oh, indeed. (And I have two sisters, so I totally know) He also thinks that red water is what rusts iron, because it needs another use beyond simply keeping Amber out of Rizkaland.


So, I'm gonna start with the little I know. Clarand isn't gonna be in this book. :( Um... Amber likes paper and writing. Yeah .... That's basically all I know.
So what do I think is gonna happen? Well, Amber or Petra is gonna have to die. Well, you'd think it'd be Amber (I mean, she's the bad guy, and it was kinda prophesied). But. What. If. Petra. Died?? TWIST! OR neither Amber or Petra died? That could happen! There's always a way out of prophecies! That's what I have now, 'cause I have to go to school. :(

That's a spec based on the Character Chat, ain't it? I'll let it count. I like it.

And I'm rooting for Amber's salvation through Laura and Granite/Silver :) I feel like some of the snippets I've read are leaning towards that... maybe? :)
Going back to the theory about Petra being Amber's sister: Was Amber her twin? Could they get a happily ever after where Amber changes and goes to live with Petra's family, and Petra gets her sister back?
I mean, does the battle have to be fought with swords? It says one shall speak the other's death, but Amber's been threatening to kill the Tela Du for, well, ever... is that enough? Besides one of the themes is forgiveness, sooo... Besides, twisted fate sounds as though it's much deeper than just the fact that they look alike and Petra has to defeat Amber... I don't know.
Hopefully some of that was coherent... Oh, well.
(Random side note: I know this isn't a thing, (and I'm glad it didn't happen!) but when I read about the fact that Andrew's mom disappeared, literally my first thoughts were "I bet she went to Rizkaland" and then my thought right after that was "Ohmygoodnesswhatifshe'sAmber??" The sane and non-maniacal-writer part of my brain immediately shushed that idea, of course, but the evil and maniacal part of me enjoyed it immensely... Guess it isn't a speculation per sey...)
(On the note of the random side note, my brother had that exact same speculation. BUT, Andrew's mom had red hair and green eyes, Amber has brown hair and amber eyes, so there are a few holes there)
