There will be a sixth Stravaganza! - Page 14 - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Dreamy · 15th September 2010, 04:39 PM

Hi guys! I just found this awesome forum.

Cross your fingers and hope that my English will be good enough. So stupid to live in Finland where you English is... well, not quite good. ^^ And in English you have these stupid "at, in, on, about, for, from, etc."-things what I totally don't understand at all!

But that's off-topic, and what I really wanna say is that I love stravaganza books! I just found them like two weeks ago and then I read a book in two days, then the next one and third one too... and now I'm waiting the City of Secrets... argh I hate library system, why there's just one copy of it... I've been waiting more than one week! (but what i read about your waitings that's not bad at all... would be awful to wait months!)

And I'm not even sure if we have the city of ships yet! I think they haven't translate it yet... maybe I read it in english (funny thing: I read and understand english really well but making sentences... gosh that's hard!).

And I'm sad 'cos I read the character list of city of ships and there was no mention about Guido Parola! My favorite character

plz tell me why i'm always falling in love with those character who are barely mentioned in series? Same thing with Harry Potter-books, I mean, Lee Jordan? He's gorgeous but his role is very small... this thing is kinda funny too.

I said my english-writing's awful and still I'm writing wery long post... and i don't even like talking!... I think :'D

But all I wanna say that Stravaganza is all what I've been looking for! good fantasy, I was already depressed 'cos i couldn't find anything good enough. So thanks for the Stravaganzas

It's really long time to wait until I can hold City of Swords in my hands.. But i'll be waiting, 'cos i really believe it will be awesome too

Thank you, Dreamy. I can promise you that Guido Parola will be a big character in City of Swords!

You are not the only one who likes him. If you go to fanfiction.net, then Books, then Stravaganza you will find someone has just written something about him.

All best

Mary

Wait...wasn't City of Ships the most recent one? Or is there some sort of a continuation from the events? I'm confused!!

I thought that too, especially since I've read it. Speking of which, did you get City of Ships yet?

Mary Hoffman · 7th October 2010, 10:21 AM

Sorry, I meant Swords!

Oh, I'm so happy to hear about the Guido Parola thing! Now I just can't wait City of Swords, it will be too awesome. And I have to wait like... two years? Plus the translating thing! Blah, that's gonna be long long time.

I just read City of Secrets, and I loved it! I was quite afraid about reading it, 'cause I thought I wouldn't like it so much (because there's not so much about Guido Parola) but that was okay, it was fantastic even without him (and the little part with him was great!).

And 'cause they haven't translate City of Ships yet, I ordered it in English. It will take like 6-10 days to get it! Can't wait it. That is the book with the twin, right?

I've never been good at waiting.

I think I'm gonna read City of Swords in English too before translate version.

Btw, I know what fanfic you mean! It's great.

That's what I meant

. Mary, I was just wondering, is grandduchessa caterina a 'good di chimici' or a 'bad di chimici'?

OOPs, I missed this question! As we go through the books and the Barnsbury Stravaganti pool their knowledge and opinions, I'm hoping we'll realise that very few di Chimici are all good or all bad. Caterina has her heart in the right place but is deeply in love with Fabrizio, who is going to the bad.

I've just re-read Masks in preparation for starting Swords; Stars next!

HappyscraperH · 17th January 2011, 06:40 PM

Love Stravaganza!

When do you think it will be published

I simply can't sit still

I am a huge fan of Stravaganza

Mary Hoffman · 23rd January 2011, 01:09 PM

City of Swords will be published next year! That sounds so much closer than saying "in 2012" doesn't it?

HappyscraperH · 29th January 2011, 03:47 PM

Can't Wait

2012 does sound a lot longer than next year. But next year is bad enough!!

Lexell_Cassini · 31st March 2011, 03:18 AM

"Next year" doesn't seem too bad now, thinking of the time I waited between reading City of Stars and City of flowers!

I finished Stars in May of 2008!

But finally yesterday the miracle happen and I got the five books!

And now I'm reading City of Flowers and I'm so happy! It's like a meeting with old friends.

I wished to drop here to congratulate Mary, I love the way you write, you make a whole world so real and now that I'm reading you in the original language I can see how really great it is, and easy to understand for somebody who doesn't know too much english.

(OK I have some problems when Dethridge talks...)

And I'm still Rodolfo's fangirl

A_I_13 · 4th April 2011, 05:47 PM

I can't wait for city of swords. I have never been good at waiting, so we will have to see if I can survive all this time.

Btw Mary, have you ever heard of patrick ness? It's just that I was reading his chaos walking books that other day and I fell in love with them.
