OH. THAT’S THE TITLE. GREAT. I’M TOTALLY PREPARED FOR THAT.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Y’all know I’m not. I can’t believe it. I got tricked! Cliffhanger’d for the first time in the\u00c2\u00a0Young Wizards<\/em> series and RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.\u00c2\u00a0Lord<\/em>. With that said, let’s look towards the previous set of predictions before I do another set of them. (I’m scared.)<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Nita goes on a MUCH-NEEDED VACATION. (If this is true, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m already going to love this because this fulfills a trope I always want and never get.)\u00c2\u00a0The funniest part about this is not only was I right, I was also wrong because her vacation became SOMETHING ELSE.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Kit goes with her.\u00c2\u00a0And I’m glad this is the case!<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Thus, this takes place in the summer of the same year as\u00c2\u00a0A Wizard Alone<\/em>.\u00c2\u00a0Ah, a technicality: Spring Break. I’m still not over the fact that spring break is two weeks elsewhere in the world. UNFAIR.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. They go OUTSIDE OF NEW YORK.\u00c2\u00a0What a guess!<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. I am going to guess the West coast???\u00c2\u00a0WHAT A FAILURE<\/strong><\/li>\n
  6. WHAT IF THEY COME HERE TO L.A.\u00c2\u00a0Not even close.\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
  7. Okay, not a prediction. I think Dairine ends up coming along, too.\u00c2\u00a0Oh MY GOD LOOK HOW WRONG I AM.\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
  8. As does Nita\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s father.\u00c2\u00a0I’m so glad that there was a split narrative in this book.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  9. Then, something *happens* that makes all three wizards work on an errantry while on vacation.\u00c2\u00a0Technically… not untrue???? I AM COUNTING THIS ONE.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  10. Darryl will appear once.\u00c2\u00a0Next book???<\/strong><\/li>\n
  11. My guess is that the Lone One will try, purely out of spite, to ruin their vacation.\u00c2\u00a0Oh god, I’m actually\u00c2\u00a0not<\/span><\/em> going to count this one<\/span>. Technically, it’s the fault of the Powers That Be more than anyone else. Even then, I wouldn’t say their vacation was ruined, either.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
  12. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll meet new wizards in whatever location the trio goes to!\u00c2\u00a0And I already miss all of them! Though I have THOUGHTS. See below!<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Given that we’re working off a cliffhanger here, I have way more to predict. LET’S DO THIS.<\/p>\n

    Predictions for\u00c2\u00a0Wizards at War<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Darryl will appear!<\/li>\n
    2. So will Sker’ret, Filif, and Roshaun. See, they didn’t go home at the end of the last book, so I’m guessing that they’ll stick around to deal with\u00c2\u00a0the thing<\/em>.<\/li>\n
    3. The “thing” being that some huge war is going to start on Mars.<\/li>\n
    4. It will be between wizards who support the Powers and wizards that support the Lone One.<\/li>\n
    5. Most of it won’t take place on Mars, though.<\/li>\n
    6. The main threat: Earth.<\/li>\n
    7. The Lone One will reference what Nita and Kit did in\u00c2\u00a0Wizard’s Holiday<\/em>.<\/li>\n
    8. A LOT OF WIZARDS WILL DIE. LIKE, A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT.<\/li>\n
    9. Nita’s and Dairine’s dad will have to get involved in the action at one point.<\/li>\n
    10. The phone call that Nita got at the end of\u00c2\u00a0Wizard’s Holiday<\/em> will be revealed to be from Tom.<\/li>\n
    11. We will meet more new wizards than I can count.<\/li>\n
    12. There will be a huge battle on Earth at some point.<\/li>\n
    13. Roshaun and Dairine will talk about their ~feelings~ for one another.<\/li>\n
    14. This book will ALSO end on a cliffhanger.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      LET’S DO THIS.<\/p>\n
