Cassie Clare is Such a Tease

Well apparently today is a sneak peeky kind of day for YA fantasy readers. Not only did Holly Black give us an entire chapter of Red Glove, but Cassandra Clare is now toying with our emotions, dangling both Clockwork Prince (and especially) City of Fallen Angels right in front of our faces, but not close enough to reach it. Well, out of reach until NEXT Friday, that is.

Not only did she tweet this teaser from the upcoming Clockwork Prince, but she also revealed this evil little game-- five different blogs will post the exact same chapter from City of Fallen Angels, with different sections redacted from each version. Therefore, we all have to visit each blog each day and piece together all of the five versions to make a complete COFA's first chapter.

Holly Black Reveals First Chapter of Red Glove

As Holly Black enjoys a villa in Mexico for her writer's retreat with fellow lady authors extraordinaire Cassandra Clare, Robin Wasserman, Maureen Johnson, and Sarah Rees Brennan, we all stare at her tweets full of envy while we pile on a couple more blankets and cling to our cups of steaming hot chocolate. (Or, in my case, spiked apple cider.) But today Ms. Black has give us a very, very nice gift. No, it is not a tropical warm front that will melt the snow and ice, but it is something that will make you all warm inside.

Earlier this morning, she posted the first chapter of Red Glove, the second book of the Curse Workers series, on her blog. (Click the link to go to the chapter. Since it is not mine, I do not want to repost it.)

Let the rejoicing begin!
