Y’all, I did\u00c2\u00a0pretty good<\/em> last time around, which means that fate shall swing the other way and I will do\u00c2\u00a0terribly<\/em> this time. SUCH IS LIFE. Let’s do this!<\/p>\n

First things first:<\/p>\n

Predictions for\u00c2\u00a0A Wizard Alone<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The title refers to Nita.\u00c2\u00a0IT REFERS TO EVERYONE OH MY GOD.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. I think Nita\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s mother will die in this book, thus leaving her \u00e2\u20ac\u0153alone.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00c2\u00a0Still, I fair pretty well in these predictions. ALSO: SADNESS.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. The book will alternate between the POV of Kit, Dairine, and Nita.\u00c2\u00a0Close, but no.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. Tom and Carl will play a much larger part in this book, supporting Nita.\u00c2\u00a0A little bit larger? Not a whole lot.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. So will Nita\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s father.\u00c2\u00a0I WAS RIGHT ABOUT THIS ONE, THOUGH.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  6. Dairine\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s powers will level out in this book.\u00c2\u00a0More than just level out! Oh, Dairine.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  7. Kit\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s errantry will BE Nita. Or at least helping her.\u00c2\u00a0Yes… and no. DARRYL OMG.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  8. I am going to be destroyed by this book.\u00c2\u00a0Utterly and completely.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  9. The weird universe-creating place will be mentioned by Kit at least once.\u00c2\u00a0And it was!!!!<\/strong><\/li>\n
  10. WE WILL MEET A NEW WIZARD IN THIS BOOK.\u00c2\u00a0HI DARRYL YOU ARE MY EVERYTHING.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  11. The book takes place in the year following\u00c2\u00a0The Wizard\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Dilemma<\/em>.\u00c2\u00a0You know, this is ambiguous enough that I can still count it. :: sticks tongue out at all of you ::<\/strong><\/li>\n
  12. It is NOT confined just to New York.\u00c2\u00a0Well, I tried.\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
  13. Ronan will be mentioned, but will not appear.\u00c2\u00a0I don’t believe he was mentioned at \u00c2\u00a0ALL.\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
  14. The struggle will ultimately be with the Lone One, but inside Nita this time.\u00c2\u00a0Close, and then TOTALLY WRONG.\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Y’all, I loved\u00c2\u00a0A Wizard Alone<\/em> so much. Thus: time for me to start my 7th\u00c2\u00a0Young Wizards<\/em> book!<\/p>\n

    Predictions for\u00c2\u00a0Wizard’s Holiday<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Nita goes on a MUCH-NEEDED VACATION. (If this is true, I’m already going to love this because this fulfills a trope I always want and never get.)<\/li>\n
    2. Kit goes with her.<\/li>\n
    3. Thus, this takes place in the summer of the same year as\u00c2\u00a0A Wizard Alone<\/em>.<\/li>\n
    4. They go OUTSIDE OF NEW YORK.<\/li>\n
    5. I am going to guess the West coast???<\/li>\n
    6. WHAT IF THEY COME HERE TO L.A.<\/li>\n
    7. Okay, not a prediction. I think Dairine ends up coming along, too.<\/li>\n
    8. As does Nita’s father.<\/li>\n
    9. Then, something *happens* that makes all three wizards work on an errantry while on vacation.<\/li>\n
    10. Darryl will appear once.<\/li>\n
    11. My guess is that the Lone One will try, purely out of spite, to ruin their vacation.<\/li>\n
    12. We’ll meet new wizards in whatever location the trio goes to!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Okay, I think that’s a solid attempt. Wow, how am I going through these books so\u00c2\u00a0fast<\/em>???<\/p>\n
