I just read something which talked about the fourth book being the start of a separate series featuring the same characters, but for example, it is a different bad guy!<br /><br />There is also another spin off series that is set in Victorian England, and so far only has one crossover character.Marghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508430635744720721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282761092944595871.post-34013571020679312842011-01-13T22:00:32.861-06:002011-01-13T22:00:32.861-06:00Forget the books, I want to see badassery become a...Forget the books, I want to see badassery become an official word.

(Oh and I enjoyed them, btw. :) ) To find out that there was a fourth sorta left me feeling mixed emotions. I read somewhere that's it's focusing less on Clary and more on the other characters. With that being said, I feel as though I could wait until the other three are written (Yup, there's suppose to be three more, I believe) to read them. The third City book ended perfectly, so I'm content.<br /><br />Also, I think that Zibilee is confusing the Clockwork Angel book with the newest fourth book. Clockwork is a prequel of sots, but with different characters. There will be 3 - 6 of those as well. <br /><br />I say, bring them on. They're fun relaxing YA reads.christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16749333368560606659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282761092944595871.post-71296562229348456132011-01-13T15:46:31.564-06:002011-01-13T15:46:31.564-06:00More than a few times, I've considered startin...More than a few times, I've considered starting this series and reading it with my daughter. She's totally into this kind of thing. I don't really mind if stories have a HP influence, but let's be honest, there are some out there that are just plain thievery.Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282761092944595871.post-44849495791853233552011-01-13T09:59:02.948-06:002011-01-13T09:59:02.948-06:00I think the fourth book actually starts a new seri...I think the fourth book actually starts a new series that is meant to be a prequel.
