Well, it seems I’m at an impasse. On one hand, I know Book 3 is amazing. On the other, I can’t travel forward in time and steal every tidbit for you about how it’s going to go. It’ll be available on August 23rd and no earlier, so I’m afraid I have no idea what’s going to happen.
…never mind, I just remembered I wrote the damn thing, so I absolutely know how it goes. (Say what you will about a duck that can type — it’s a duck that can commit anything to memory that’s noteworthy. What’s my name, again?)
So, without giving away too much, here’s some little sneakage and/or peekage at book 3, Noah the Red:
- As the name can tell you, it’s very Noah-centric. Era’s still the main character, but this one is where Noah’s character arc comes to fruition.
- There’s a reason for the bizarre strength of Noah’s spells like speed buff…
- Those who liked the cute Era x Liv moments from the last two books are gonna be eatin’ good, I tell ya what.
- Those who liked the trauma and major character deaths from the last book are gOnNa Be EaTiN’ tOo GoOd I tElL yA wHaT
- This book is gonna be Gregor Koschei’s finest hour.
- There’s at least one chapter set on Earth, dealing with Angel Sanchez’s end of things.
- “Oh, so it turns out Neverstone was cosmic horror the whole time?”

- A minor antagonist from Book 1 is going to come back for a downright twisted role early on.
- Yes, that snake on the cover is our old pal Fangzor. No, he hasn’t gotten any less mean.
- That rifle-toting bunny on the cover is a new party member: Bean, Noah’s clingy robotic plushie.
- While writing this entry, I nicknamed it the End of Nevergelion.
- This is the most chaotic entry in the Neverstone series yet.
- …but not as chaotic as the final entry, the Voice Highmost.
