Series Speculation

[Kendra, The Author Person]

*Lost Bookholder was more like the lost Lords in VotDT, except it's not so much anymore*

[Brie]

Now that's a really big piece of information. Does that mean that book 3 has some elements from Prince Caspian? Probably not many, especially if my theory about Petra and Reuben not returning to our world in LDTD. On the other hand I suppose they could leave and go back, but that seems like blatant copying.
Now, a unicorn is a rowanda, right?

[Erika]

J...J.... *tries to think of J words related to Rizkaland*

Jane. Jasmine. Jill Anna. Jakob.

*gives up* i feel this is the wrong trail.


Book 1 and 2 seem to be quite different - different plots, different people, different problems.

I have the feeling book 3 will be more of a continuation of book 2 than that. :) I'm thinking that perhaps this whole plot thing is longer and bigger than I know. :)

[Kendra, The Author Person]

AT A TIME book three was something of a PC story, but it was also entitled "Six Princesses" at that time, and was also something of a Moses story. It's now very different. Of the Narnia books, I'd say the closest would be HaHB, but mostly because of setting. It doesn't really have talking horses in it. That's book four.

[Brie]

I wonder if books 4 is the one the evil looking Harandas belong to.

So I think 3 is a continuation (to some degree) of four. And I think that it has Rintae in it.

Clarand are mentioned to appear in 3. What if they found out then that they had turned up again in the past.
And I think Isabelle will go back during the time Timothea is around.
I suspect that some future books will have large casts of familiar characters, but that none of them will have anymore viewpoints than LDTD.
And the books are going to more complicated as they go along.

[C.B.]

*very excited about book 4*

I think, eventually, we're going to see a book, or at least part of a book, that takes place during the time with the original kings and queens. There seemed to be a lot of hints of that in the first book, so I'd hope that we'd get to see some of that.

[Alyssa]

*feels lost in all the glorious speculations*

[Erika]

I agree, CB. The kings and queens feel more important than that. Maybe a magician's nephew inspired book???

[Brie]

When I asked Kendra about that a while ago, she wouldn't say that there would be a book dedicated to the eight and ten, but that they do become increasingly important. And I can see that already. I've gotten the impression that Petra and Reuben's parents go to Rizkaland with them. I suspect they won't stick around though.

[Brie]

Oh bother I got the italics wrong and managed to post it twice as well.
And now I'm on my computer I can fix it up. Why can't everyone use the same codes.

[gabi]

It happens to everyone. :-P

[Kendra, The Author Person]

I may at some point write "Alphego's Hill" as a lesser legend, but as I stand right now, the story is too disjointed for me to make any promises.

[Erika]

Speculates on snippet...

Smoke! Dragon fire? What an emotional scene. Something's making her cry. And Reuben's there for her.

Wonders.

[C.B.]

I'm going to speculate on the snippet, too! :D

So, Amber's technically a dragon, but she also has ice powers. Maybe she somehow dies in a fire????

And... do we know for sure that the she is Petra? Since Reuben is there, we'd assume so... but maybe it's not? XD

[Erika]

Hmm... *takes idea and runs to China with it and comes up with crazy people she might be*

What if she is Amber, and Reuben were restraining her and making her feel so guilty she was moved to tears?? :) :)

[Erika]

BTW, I don't think Amber is dying yet. Later....

[C.B.]

@Resterwen: Maybe! And yeah, it's probably not Amber dying, but maybe Amber did something to the Kastle or some other place?

[Brie]

It's clearly from Petra's point of view.
Loray burning sounds more likely than the Kastle, (Rizkaland remember) but I think either is unlikely. End of part four would be starting to lead up to the climax. Petra probably makes some important inner decision or realization soon. We don't know what her struggle is though.
No idea of the context of the snippet. She doesn't quite feel comfortable about crying though.
Yes, I just did analyzation based on my knowledge of story structure and WPFP. It's probably way off and I didn't come to any conclusions anyway.

[Kendra, The Author Person]

On the vein of, it might not be Petra, you know, it could be Summer. She is Reuben's sister, after all.

Not saying that it is, but I just feel like confusing you all. ;)

[C.B.]

Ah-ha!!!! So I could have been right about the she not being Petra! XD And it could be Summer, I forgot about her....

[Brie]

Sometimes I'm not very smart. I looked back to make certain it wasn't Reuben's POV. Somehow I thought Petra's name was in there.

[Amanda]

Aaaaagh. We can't even assume it's Petra's POV?

I didn't know Reuben had a sister in Rizkaland.

I bet someone's home is burning. Maybe it's someone connected to Petra in some way? What would make her distressed enough to cry...

Maybe she and Reuben tried to save someone and failed and that's why she's upset.

[Brie]

Petra has a brother too, Tyler.

[Amanda]

Awww! Flynn is a cute name.

Hmm. I wonder who this Kevin is. I don't remember him, at least...

So, maybe Andrew has just returned recently or something, and this Kevin guy sees him and is confused. Maybe he has only heard about Andrew from stories?

(Also, Kendra, your handwriting is interesting. I like the "f"s.)

[Brie]

Kevin is Andrew's best friend. Steven and Jenna's son.

Now I think this is the book where we find out what happened to Renee.
Andrew and Clara go to Klarand during the time of their children. I think their parents and Andrew's brothers come too. And Kevin too it seems. Maybe his parents. Maybe Rhoda and her family. That's starting to sound like too many people though now.

[Kendra, The Author Person]

I've been writing "f"s like that since I was about thirteen. I like them that way. Makes me feel fancy.

Yes, Kevin is Andrew's best friend. Also Reuben's cousin. And he's completely unimpressed by suddenly being thrust into the insanity of another world. Oh, he's fun.

[Brie]

Reuben's cousin? Now that's a new bit of information.
I'm not changing my speculation to stick him and Petra in book 5 as well though. That would be madness.

[Amanda]

How have I missed all this info about characters? I'm confused. Maybe it has something to do with all the AA posts I'm behind on.

I seem to recall Clara was "completely unimpressed" too.

And yeah, I think that's a lot of people, Anna.

[Kendra, The Author Person]

There are a lot of characters in book 5, not all of them go to Rizkaland, though. That's book 6...

The speculation giveaway is closed, and I've announced the winner over on the updates thread. You guys can keep speculating if you'd like though. It might make me write part 5 faster ... and the faster I write part 5, the sooner I'll be able to edit part one. The sooner I edit part one, the sooner I'll be looking for Beta readers.

[Amanda]

But dash it all, Kendra, I don't have any more speculations!

[Brie]

We can speculate about which or our speculations are actually right. Or maybe not. It sounds impossible to me.

[C.B.]

XD It's very hard to figure it out.

What if Clara DIES in one of the books??? XD That's the best speculation I can come up with at the moment...

[Brie]

No, that can't happen.

[C.B.]

Why not? She has to die eventually. She's not immortal, so it could happen in one of the books.

[Alyssa]

It could happen... *sniffs*

[Brie]

But she's so young, at the moment at least.
Besides when have you ever heard of someone from our world dying in a portal fantasy? Only in The Last Battle. And they didn't die from our point of view. And Kendra's a nice author. Who so far has died in any of her books. Only bad guys and nobodies.

[Kendra, The Author Person]

I have five deaths planned for the final book. There may be more, but there are five for certain.

[Brie]

Okay, I'll accept it. Clara probably does die then. H'mm five. They're not couples then. Perhaps that's when Laura dies.

[C.B.]

Laura, Clara, Andrew, Petra, and Reuben??? Those are the only main ones we know so far. I'm guessing we'll see Laura's death at some point in the story.

And, remember, time moves differently in Rizkaland, so anyone could die at any time, really.

[Morgan]

Five deaths? NOOOOO!!!!!!

[Brie]

Another thing we can figure is who are all the POV characters. I think there's Amber, Petra, Ashna, Reuben and Summer. Who is the sixth? Tyler? Edna? At least I think Edna's in this book. I figure that she will be one of the four queens of Rizkaland. But I know nothing.

[Hannah]

I have read WPFP TWICE and I still can't remember a lot of the subplots and foreshadowing. Uuggh my memory is sooo bad. But all this speculating is very interesting.

[Kendra, The Author Person]

Edna is book 4. The sixth POV is Granite.

[Amanda]

Ooooh. Info.

*has no clue who Edna is either*

[C.B.]

*laughs* I don't know who Edna is, as well.

[Kendra, The Author Person]

She's the main heroine in book 4. She used to be Petra's younger sister, then she was Reuben's younger sister, and now she's their shared cousin.

[C.B.]

Ah, cool!
