Me fears over-hyping.... ::) If it is stand alone as some are suggesting I will be very disappointed..
Stand alone is okay for a short story, but at this point in the series any book needs to move things
along.
123Chikadee:
Yeah, I think we might be just a tad. Hm, I don't think it'll be a stand alone, since we're getting into the sorta home stretch. Pretty sure the things we find out in Mirror Mirror will serve as info that Harry couldn't otherwise get in "his" prime universe. Peace Talks will have some set up for future events and some payoffs too, I think.

Originally was going to state lets not get ahead of ourselves here but "Serious Analysis":
The gap, up until Peace Talks, was basically a year and sometimes a year and a smidge.
That's 15 books in under 15 years. Jim is pretty much a machine.
He had some crap happened, it caused the giant hiccup, but... if its all sorted out... we might get a return to that level of output. And heck, I don't think we all expect that level of output but just not something every 5 years :) Keeping my fingers crossed.
Skin Game came out May 27, 2014 and we might get Peace Talks by May 2019 and who knows, Mirror Mirror by May 2021?

It is five years since Skin Game, and it came out two years after Cold Days, so things are beginning
to stretch out, he is also writing another major series and has all kinds of other commitments, plus yes, the man has a personal life... So I think it is a bit over optimistic to think we will see Mirror Mirror in 2021, we will be lucky I think if we get Peace Talks in 2019...
123Chikadee:
Oh, I don't mind the waiting that much, really, but I just get excited and build up scenarios for how things happen. It's a bit rare for me to get disappointed due to over-hype.
When we got the basic plot outline for Mirror Mirror, I was intrigued because diverging timelines and alternate realities can be so fun to explore.
I'm just glad he's got a less hectic time now, gotta be less stress for him. :)
