Talk:Bloodbound, Book 3/@comment-43624524-20190906211143/@comment-37915141-20190907133835

At first, I thought that they might be rushing it too but then I looked at the average wait time between sequels. An overwhelming majority had only 1-4 months between the end of the previous book and the launch of the next one. There are only about 5-6 instances when it was 5-11 months. For all we know, later this year could mean the end of December and it's probably no sooner than the beginning of October since we already have 2 September books, so that's a 1 to 4 month wait which is very much the norm. Furthermore, if you look at the build-up in BB1 for a sequel you'll see it only has rather vague mentions and hints (just the flashbacks with Gaius and Adrian and Kamilah saying 1 or 2 sentences about their dark past) while BB2 had full names with some brief history mentioned (Aiko Nakamura whose clan gave shelter to Kamilah in the 13th century, Kano Yoshimasa who is another psychic vampire, and the Five of Japan) and parts of the lore laid out (prophecy about Rheya and the bonus scene, Order history, few things about the Bloodkeeper line) all of which was totally absent in book 1. So, considering all of this, I think they've already had some of book 3 when book 2 launched so it's not really rushed.
