My reaction to the news of 'The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue' sequel

=cue 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' song=



What's this?
What's this?
An answer to my prayers?
What's this?
A sequel with more layers?
'The Gentleman's Guide' was such a ride
Then I heard 'The Lady's Guide' and I cried
Is this a joke? This isn't funny!
Wait next year to take my money!?
What's this?

It's a companion piece that I would not dare dream
Early news of petticoats I already see a ruffled gleam
Gay Victorians were not to end at 'Vice and Virtue'
Now comes a solo adventure starring Felicity Montague
She of science sails with 'Petticoats and Piracy'
Can one book contain her scrumptiously hard and smart personality???

What's this?
What's this?
Felicity joins a girl gang?
What's this?
Feminism beginning with a bang?
Travelling and sailing as first mate
Such swashbuckling excitement, cannot wait
I feel my anticipation flying much too high
Pirates, science, pre-suffragettes, oh my!
It's full of queens! It's full of queens!
Hope and glory for youthful teens
Felicity cut down the Gentleman
Next she'll outwit Nice Guys with her mighty pen
Patriarchy fear the asexual female protagonist
Darling, this charted sequel shan't be missed
From lead to gold on my paper heart it overflows with bliss!

WHAT. IS. THIS????????????????????????



I couldn't express my feelings any other way, badly or not.

I never write about a book I haven't read yet, much less one that hasn't even been published. That alone should tell you how excited I am about this news. I can't imagine it being anything less than satisfactory. If it turns out to be yet another disappointing sequel, well, I'll only have myself to blame. Sames goes for this parody song.

'The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy' - my new hyped 2018 YA release, after 'The Muse of Nightmares'.
