I believe the issues established at the onset of the book are resolved, but it also opens up more questions, too.ĭoes the series get more difficult to write with each new book? The relationships between Seth, Keenan, and Aislinn represent this complicated situation.įragile Eterntiy is really the first book in the series that is not to be intended to be fully freestanding. It’s not uncommon to have several people catch your interest at the same time, and loving one person doesn’t mean not noticing other people. The Seth/Keenan/Aislinn love triangle continues, too. His interests have been subsumed by this world of Faerie, so I thought it important for him to explore his path.

Seth is fragile and this situation causes imbalance in his life. He’s living in a world where his best friend is king of the Dark Court and his girlfriend is queen of the Summer Court, and both immortals more or less. And by the events that happen in Ink Exchange, Seth is completely without power. I think a lot of times when people talk about Gender Studies they think of women only, but Gender Studies includes concern for equality among both parties. Why did you choose to continue the story through his character? And in terms of readability, there are things that will not make as much sense in Fragile Eternity if you haven’t read Ink Exchange.įragile Eternity is really Seth’s book. Fragile Eternity couldn’t happen if Ink Exchange hadn’t. All three books are set in the same world and are sequential in terms of events. The reason Fragile Eternity uses the word sequel is to indicate that this book features the original characters from Wicked Lovely.

On the cover of Fragile Eternity it says “sequel to Wicked Lovely”-where does Ink Exchange fit in the series, then?
