Whilst this did remove lots of rewriting, which had been a real burden for the second book, I didn’t enjoy the writing process anywhere near as much as writing the first book where I did hardly any planning at all. I did little planning for the first and second books and a lot more for the final book including discussions with my editor about the plot. I’ve tried ways to make the process of writing a book easier, planning more at the start being the obvious example. I’ve always been serious and professional about any work I do, but writing is how I make my living now, so I’m even more serious! Has your approach to writing changed at all since you started Half Bad?

I’m incredibly proud of the trilogy and it will be wonderful to see all three of my books next to each other in bookshops. I’ve been writing from inside Nathan’s head for the last four years and I’ll miss him desperately. I love all the characters from the trilogy and Nathan, the protagonist, feels like a real person to me.

Half Bad has been with me in one form or another for my whole (admittedly quite short) writing life. Hi Sally, thanks for appearing on my blog! How do you feel about the Half Bad trilogy coming to an end? Combined with the Gifts he has inherited from Marcus, the amulet might just be enough to turn the tide for the Alliance and end the bloody civil war between Black and White witches once and for all…ĭoesn't that sound incredible? Let's find out more about Half Lost, the amazing YA fan community, and Sally Green's plans for her next YA novel. To win her trust, Nathan must travel to America and persuade her to give him the amulet. They need the missing half of Gabriel’s amulet-an ancient artifact with the power to render its bearer invincible in battle.īut the amulet’s guardian-the reclusive and awesomely powerful witch Ledger - has her own agenda. Scattered and demoralized, constantly pursued by the Council’s Hunters, only a bold new strategy can save the rebels from total defeat. The Alliance of Free Witches has been all but destroyed. Half Lost by Sally Green is out now, published by Penguin, £7.99.Ī stunning, magical world. I was kindly sent Half Lost by Penguin Random House in exchange for an honest review :) I don't know about you guys, but I am super excited for this last book, and can't wait to see how the story ends. a Q&A with the amazing author of the Half Bad trilogy, Sally Green! I interviewed Sally for the first time in November 2014 (which you can check out here) just after the publication of the first book in the trilogy, Half Bad, so I think it's perfectly fitting that I interview Sally again on the very date of the publication of the last book in the trilogy: Half Lost. Hello readers, and happy Thursday! I have an incredibly exciting blog post for you today.
