Spin off

Same way other 3rd person books work out. I think "Sydney as the narrator" doesn't necessarily mean it has tp be 1st person, all stories have a narrator in same way, shape or form. Sydney will be the main focus, we'll hear more of her thoughts/opinions via the narrator, therefore we see her as the narrator.

Ah. lol I think I get it now. Same way HP was 3rd person then. *smartical*

Or am I still getting it wrong?

Nope, Harry Potter is a good example! I couldn't think of anything off the top of my head.
It means RM will be able to branch off occasionally and show us the mind of the villain or something at the same time, but will mainly be focusing on Sydney.

heaps of books flip from character to character. one person doesn't necessarily have be a narrator. I was hoping for that. I'm not sure I'll like something from Sydney's pov all the time.

Libby, I agree. I like sydney and I think I could handle that, but it wouldn't be the same as being in Rose's head. And we wouldn't have a "bond" to tell us what's happening somewhere else either.

Has anyone read J.R. Wards Black Dagger Brotherhood Series? Those books flip between characters and its awesome! if Bloodlines will be written like that, i have no complaints! but it's true Adrian would be the perfect guy to pick up with but alittle too obvious, i doubt it would be Eddie, unless he's assigned as Jill guardian.. but Joshua didn't really show an interset in leaving the Keepers like his sister Angeline did, but being a damphir she'd most likely go to St. Vlads along with Josh... What about Jesse Zelkos? he was a love interst for a little bit?? but set in a high school....i don't think anyone who's left high school would go back...damn!

Yep, I've read the BDB. Love that series. I do also think it'd be interesting if RM flipped between characters similarly to that. I think that's kind of how she did the 3rd person for her short story in Kisses From Hell. Maybe we'll get into Jill's head as well as Sydney's.

I expected it to be like that but the article says Syd is the narrator.

Unless RM has decided to start over on Bloodlines (she's already started working on the first draft), it should still be in 3rd person. I get that it says in the EW exclusive that Sydney will be the narrator, but they couldn't even put the right LS cover on there. On RM's website she says that Bloodlines will be in 3rd person and we'll be getting a couple of different perspectives, one of which will be Sydney's. So which is it? lol I really want to know.

I'm going to stop speculating and wait for Richelle to say more on her blog or website.

Maybe RM will start to post more about it after the LS tour is over. She'll probably announce the title of the spin-off on her blog in case some of her readers haven't heard or something. I hope she blogs about it soon. Maybe she'll mention something nobody knows yet.
