Lately I’ve been reading The Boneshaker and its prequel The Broken Lands. When I started Greenglass House I didn’t actually know the books would be connected, and it was fun to discover the various characters and places that tie the books together. (You can read my take on it here.) It’s set in the same world, but takes place much earlier, and focuses on Lucy Bluecrowne, the daughter of a privateer. The Left-Handed Fate is actually the first book of Kate Milford’s that I read, though it was actually published between the two Greenglass House books. Both of the books take place during the winter, and involve unexpected guests showing up and bringing mysteries with them, while Milo (the son of the proprietors) investigates with his friend Meddy. The proprietors are on good terms with various smugglers who still visit the inn as they pass through Nagspeake. I’ve described the Greenglass House books in a previous Stack Overflow, but here’s a quick summary in case you missed it: Greenglass House is an inn that used to be a smuggler’s house, set in the seaside town of Nagspeake. All of the books will be published by Clarion Books, an imprint of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Books for Young Readers. And then, finally, in fall of 2020, Milford will publish a stand-alone novel, Rialto. Then in spring of 2020, we’ll get The Raconteur’s Commonplace Book, the collection of stories that’s often referred to in the Greenglass House books, also illustrated by Nicole Wong.
Feast your eyes on this gorgeous cover!įollowing Bluecrowne, in the fall of 2019 we can also expect a (not yet titled) book about Marzana, one of the carolers from Ghosts of Greenglass House, with illustrations by Jaime Zollars.
According to the Kickstarter page, this story links together the world of Arcane (from The Boneshaker and The Broken Lands) and the world of the Greenglass House novels.
It’s an updated version of a story that Milford self-published through a Kickstarter campaign a few years ago, freshly revised and updated (including a new character) and featuring illustrations by Nicole Wong. Today, I’m happy to reveal the cover of her upcoming book, Bluecrowne, as well as announce a few more books that will be coming later!įirst up: Bluecrowne: A Greenglass House Story will be published in October this year. I only started reading her books in late 2016, and her Greenglass House series became some of the favorite books I read in 2017. This week’s Stack Overflow is a dive into the world of Kate Milford’s books.
