It was important to have The Purple Book first because Orinakin, the world's greatest diplomat, is the best person to introduce us to a new culture. He explains everything to Bade, and we learn along the way.
I could've put Kudorin's book last, so that we spend the series with Orinakin bringing a parade of suitors through the palace, marrying off one brother after another until we finally meet the king. But I couldn't, in good conscience, make Kudorin wait that long. And the king is such an important part of the family/country, it seemed wrong to spend the whole series without him.
When I first began ITL, I expected to write the books in a certain order. Since then, I've shuffled the order around to suit my vision. I now have it laid out pretty concretely, and don't expect to change it.
That said, which order would you put the books in? Whose book do you think should come next? Which order makes the most sense to you?

But I couldn't, in good conscience, make Kudorin wait that long. And the king is such an important part of the family/country, it seemed wrong to spend the whole series without him. Thank you, by the way! I would have gone nuts wondering who Kudorin's king was for that long, as well as felt really bad for him waiting there forever, being the sad, perfect god-brother who's endlessly supportive but lonely for his king. When I first began ITL, I expected to write the books in a certain order. Since then, I've shuffled the order around to suit my vision.

-Matthew Hmm...I don't know if I can stretch my predictive powers that far. That said, I would love Remin's book to be next, but from the general feeling I've gotten lately, I'm starting to suspect that Talin's book is the one coming up after Kudorin's. After that...::scratches head:: It's kind of up in the air in my mind. It could be Rini after Talin, because of the T'rin situation. Or it could be Remin, because he really, really needs his true love already, poor man. (If he could get away with it, I bet that he'd have the shortest wedding humanly possible. He wouldn't even make it to the reception--I'd see him maybe showing up afterward, haha, near the end. For like a second. Only to disappear again.) As for the rest of the brothers, I don't see any special urgency between Anosanim, Selorin, or Desin, so I can't even begin to put them into any order. - Jae |

 I'm inclined to say that Rini's book is going to be next. Orinakin's introduced us to Orina Anoris. Kudorin's introduced us to Jacacea. Rini's would take us to the plains. It seems that Rini has a long way to go, to find his place and all, and we would definitely see Rini grow and mature during his time in the plains. He's been struggling for so long with not having a set role, it would be fun to see him find it and then work through it, come to terms with it. I'm also thinking Anosanim (See this thread for details: http://matthewhaldemantime.com/board/index.php/topic,33.0.html ) but I think it's going to take longer for them (Anosanim/Hitari/Talin) to work things out before a book is needed. Things are gonna go slow and subtle for a while longer, and then things are really gonna get started in Anosanim's book. So I think: first Rini, then Anosanim. I can't go much further than that... |

To me at least, its looking like my beloved Talin will be the next to marry - then either Selorin or Rini. But I really don't want Remin to suffer that long.

Oh wow... I don't have a clue...
I'm very glad that Kudorin's book is second because, it's true, I wouldn't have been able to wait that long to find out who his king was.
As for the next book... I'm thinking that it'll be either T'rin or Talin. Then, personally, I'd like to have either Remin or Selorin, because I want to know more about them! After that, well... Anosanim or Desin 
Ok, gotta call work now... this isn't happening today...

I have no idea. I really thought this book was going to be the Orange book before we all figured it out. I still think Anosanim is next in line -- he needs to be loved. After that Remin, Selorin, Talin, Rini, and then Desin - would be my guess. But it could almost go anyway! The biggest shock to me, I think, would be if Desin were next. That just seems off base somehow, but otherwise I think any of the rest could have the next book.
The book I want to read THE MOST... is the Gold Book. It's going to be SO SO good!

okay I think we should make this official and start placing early bets or at least bets for each new book.
My bet and say that the order will look like this at the end:
Orinakin, Kudorin, Talin, Anosanim, Desin, Remin, Selorin, Rini
I'm even willing to bet that there is a 40% chance that Anosanim and Talin would have a double wedding if it works out with both of there current beau's. Actually no matter who they end up with I think there is a possibility of a double wedding.
I'm even going to guess that if Rini goes and visits T'rin after his 20th birthday and spends a year on the plains or visits at least three times in five years at more than four months at a time then he might just Marry T'rin, otherwise I think he'll marry an Anorian, if we even get to see him married at all.
Plus I think there's an about 60% chance that Desin and Rini will marry women.
mmm, maybe Remin and Selorin are interchangeable in the marriage order because there seems to be this push on both their cases to start to seriously consider looking for a permant partner; but they are also kind of stubborn, so I can see them resisting just to prove that they don't have to fall in line and get married. Ooh i just thought of a good reason for Remin to marry First! the sooner he gets hitched the sooner we could possibly see him in an orgy, I've wanted to see that since Matthew first made reference to Remin and the Bela's holding contest in the past. mm wait, can a High priest participate in an orgy? Damn, I hope so!
Oh and for all the Vade (insert your sibiling here) shippers, I just can't see that happening. While it would be really fun if he did end up becoming an official member of the royal family I think that Bade as filled the postion of Nosupolin Princes living in the palace. His family would probably worry that he can't be trusted to stay in the palace without some sort of supervision. Plus I think Tiko would hate to have both his brothers far away and he'll need Vade at his side to bring Nosupolis to greatness. However, I really hope that one of those siblings *cough* Selorin* cough* need to shag him silly or feel him up.
Just to throw one more thing out there, does anyone else really want to see Bade hug Xio Voe or even see Bade and Rini do a two sided attack and just snuggle him crazy?

Oh, yeah, The Gold Book definitely.
...Before Remin explodes.
Please, please, please, start on Remin's story. He needs a mate more than the others. And it needs to be a bela. He's going to need a guy that's going to be able to keep up with his huge sexual appetite.
...And before he explodes.....

A couple of things 1. Blue book too, blue book too!! lmao. 2. It would be nice if Rini and Remin could have children, but it's okay if they don't (besides, it would be a shame if Rini didn't marry...... T'rin). Whaa!! My colleagues are coming back, so that's the only thing I can post.. Vani |

I know I should of known but that part really threw me off. If Desin and Rini were straight, this would be more of a concern. But since they're bi, and since they're on my website, they're going to end up with men. If Desin were a side character, it wouldn't make as much of a difference. But I'd prefer to spend the Green Book exploring his romance and relationship with a man. (The rest of my comments aren't specific to you, they're just a general observation.) Several people have commented on that particular scene, and were confused or thrown off by what Desin and Rini said. I'm not sure why, and I definitely welcome input on that point. Desin and Rini are talking about how great sex is with women, but we knew before that scene that they were bi, and that they're genuinely attracted to both men and women. And, since then, we've seen them clearly enjoying their attraction to men. I'd like to hear from readers about what in that scene changed their view and made them question Desin and/or Rini's orientation. -Matthew |

-Matthew
Honestly the more that I think back to my guess the more i realize how ridiculous it was of me to throw that suggestion. I'm going to build a time machine so i can go back an erase it. but to answer your question, I'm not sure if i can properly explain my confusion/ doubt about the whole scene. Every time i read that part, I keep picturing Orinakin, Selorin, Anosanim and Talin's expression as Desin and Rini try to explain why sex with women is good. But every time they do it I see these "WTF are you talking about" or these "yeah.. I don't think so" looks and I can't help but think that "yeah, Icky why are you wasting your time sleeping with women when there are some seriously freaking hot guys around you all the time". So even though we all knew they were bisexual it not often that we are confronted with why they like sex with women. So its like "omg they like girls!". Plus since you place these little hints something someone said in an earlier becomes really important later on so then I get a paranoid and start to look ulterior meanings of certain things that the siblings might say. hence the wonder of why Desin or Rini would say something like that and the worry that they might hook up with a girl. I guess a real fan would no better, but honestly, that whole thing just threw me off because i want to see him with a nice hot guy.  |

No, don't feel bad about it. Other people have brought up similar points, so you're not alone. I think that I can see where it's coming from. Normally, my work is all about exalting the virtues of two (or three, or more) men together, so when major characters start telling everyone how great sex with women is, you might wonder what's going on and if this signifies something important. It doesn't, though. I mean, I like to throw in fun twists, but not this one. All that conversation means is, Desin and Rini are bi, and they're into women, and their brothers aren't. i want to see him with a nice hot guy I completely, 100% agree. -Matthew |

I will admit that after I read " Royal Greetings" my love for a certian pairing was cemented, but I always resisted the possibility because of Vade's new responsibilities in Nosupolis. mmm, or maybe if Dillane wanderlust ever wains we will see both twins with ambassadors of there own. |

When then he says he is putting on make up I picture the works, but now that I think of it his eyelashes are probably naturally lushes and curly so he won't need mascara. |

Eyeliner, absolutely.
The people whose make-up is mentioned most frequently: Anosanim and Rini. I imagine that Remin and Desin wear the least. Remin, because he doesn't want to draw attention to his features; Desin, because why bother?

Orange eyeliner? Or something darker, for contrast? Randomly, mascara was invented in the 1800s by a man named Rimmel. |

What we can be sure of, from 113: Anosanim says: I absolutely cannot spend an entire twenty-eight hours without apricot lip gloss Whether that means he has to wear it, or just has to have access to it, is up for debate. -Matthew |

Because it is. Ten points. Dragging myself back on-topic:
Topic? I'd assume that it's a shade of orange. A brown-orange? A dark orange-brown? Makes sense. He's too orange for me to see him wearing anything else, but if it was a bright and shiny orange, it wouldn't really accomplish anything. Just blend in with his eyes. |

What we can be sure of, from 113:
Anosanim says:
I absolutely cannot spend an entire twenty-eight hours without apricot lip gloss
Whether that means he has to wear it, or just has to have access to it, is up for debate.
-Matthew
Hrm. What happens if he goes 28 hours without it? |

Why ITL fans should not speak on the phone:
Jae: I love Xio Voe. I want to nom him. Nom nom nom.
Rhia: Don't chew on the Heir to the Jacacean Empire, dear.
Jae: But I want to! Why must you kill my dreams?

Talin begins wearing cranberry colored lip gloss in the attempt to make Anosanim happy. |

I think he wears dark orange mascara to show the full length of his lashes. Orinakin's eyelashes get lighter at the tips so I assume that's true of all the brothers. Anosanim would want you to see how long they are from across the room. - Diamond |

I have no idea. I really thought this book was going to be the Orange book before we all figured it out. I still think Anosanim is next in line -- he needs to be loved. After that Remin, Selorin, Talin, Rini, and then Desin - would be my guess. But it could almost go anyway! The biggest shock to me, I think, would be if Desin were next. That just seems off base somehow, but otherwise I think any of the rest could have the next book.
The book I want to read THE MOST... is the Gold Book. It's going to be SO SO good!

Nooooo, please Remin, then the others. Poor Remin is climbing the walls. |

No, I agree with Peaches. They are orangey-red in color and very sweet. And they're a very feminine fruit. Oranges are more masculine. |

Oh Good, I'm glad i'm wrong about that. I tried to guess what the chance were that all the sibilings would marry men. At first I though he would never but then I though back to that chapter when Desin and Rini were talking about why sex with women is good and it made me doubt my intial decision. I know I should of known but that part really threw me off. If Desin and Rini were straight, this would be more of a concern. But since they're bi, and since they're on my website, they're going to end up with men. If Desin were a side character, it wouldn't make as much of a difference. But I'd prefer to spend the Green Book exploring his romance and relationship with a man. (The rest of my comments aren't specific to you, they're just a general observation.) Several people have commented on that particular scene, and were confused or thrown off by what Desin and Rini said. I'm not sure why, and I definitely welcome input on that point. Desin and Rini are talking about how great sex is with women, but we knew before that scene that they were bi, and that they're genuinely attracted to both men and women. And, since then, we've seen them clearly enjoying their attraction to men. I'd like to hear from readers about what in that scene changed their view and made them question Desin and/or Rini's orientation. -Matthew |

I actually had no clue that Desin and Rini were bi until much later, but you mostly read about them being with men mostly, you rarely read about them being with women. I think that I can only remember them being with women twice. Maybe. Is that's what is throwing them off?
I think reading Rini's blog and intro into the story helped me a lot on certain topics. Had I not I probably would have been completely thrown by the news as well. |

I just remember at one point towards the begining of ITL Tara and I were going over who was gay and who was bi...I think I may have thought someone was bi who turned out to be gay (Remin maybe?? I can't remember) but I definatly remember Tara thinking Desin was gay. I fought her on that one! I knew Desin was bi and I wanted Desin to be bi...you know, just in case we ever run into each other.... 
~McCartny~ You definitely thought Remin was bi through! You were SO SURE of it! So we are even missy... EVEN! Here now... Hug it Out  |

But I couldn't, in good conscience, make Kudorin wait that long. And the king is such an important part of the family/country, it seemed wrong to spend the whole series without him.
When I first began ITL, I expected to write the books in a certain order. Since then, I've shuffled the order around to suit my vision. I now have it laid out pretty concretely, and don't expect to change it.
That said, which order would you put the books in? Whose book do you think should come next? Which order makes the most sense to you?
-Matthew
See, I was really really surprised when I found out that Kudorin's book was next for sure. I really thought that you were setting up Kudorin's book, but that Talin would be next, because I figured Kudorin and Xio Voe would need that much time to get started and then their stuff would kind of get worked out while Talin was taking center stage with Hitari. Then after that was over, Kudorin and Xio Voe would actually have a book where Xio Voe finally had softened up enough to fall in love and they would work through all the complications in order to get married. But that was back at the very beginning right after the Purple Book ended. I still look at where Kudorin and Xio Voe are and wonder how LONG this book is going to be and if there's going to be some over lap between Kudorin's and Xio Voe's actual marriage (like the handling of all the politics and the ceremony) and Talin and Hitari's book. (I am obviously assuming the Red Book will be next.) My guess is that the order will go something like this: Orinakin, Kudorin, Talin, Anosanim, Remin, Selorin, Desin, Rini While Rini has this romance with T'rin, I really think he's going to need a lot of time. It's possible Desin will be last and not Rini, but those both seem like they will take a while. I think Remin needs a little bit of time to open up before he can find his love, but that he'll be soon, because once he does open, he'll go fast. Selorin doesn't seem like he's as ready yet, although that might change. I'm even willing to bet that there is a 40% chance that Anosanim and Talin would have a double wedding if it works out with both of there current beau's. Actually no matter who they end up with I think there is a possibility of a double wedding.
I think there's a decent chance that Talin and Anosanim might share a book/wedding. I think an enormous part of who they are is a twin. Talin's identity is almost first Anosanim's twin. Anosanim's is Talin's twin. I'm not sure that's the first thing they'd say, but I think it's really high on the list. Maybe Matthew wants them to have their own time in the spotlight, but I get the feeling they'd love to share. |

Kay so I'm late... as always but I had to add my 4 cent, because this is something I've been thinking about for about a week and I'd like to get it out of brain. That said, this probably will make as little sense as possible. I can't stand to see characters suffer (unless we're talking about Justin Timberlake ) So I guess Remin should be next based on that. Rini is the youngest so he goes last because yeah settling down like that at 19 is a recipe for disaster. I think Talin should be only slightly before Rini- from a psychological standpoint he needs healing time. So after Remin, Anosanim, then Desin and Selorin- placed here because he's the only one left. So using that logic the books would go as follows: Purple, Rainbow, Gold, Orange, Green, Blue, Red, and um Silver... Going to finish my tea and thinking healing thoughts now... I hate having a cold that won't turn into a full blown cold.  |

Just want to say, I agree, Remin should go next. Do you think we can make a petition to Matthew about this?  |

( please don't let it be the Blue book, please don't let it be the blue book....lmao) Are you trying to pull a reverse psychology there? I don't know about the Green Book, Desin doesn't look ready but then again, even in reality, who is ever ready when love comes knocking?  |

Well, look at it this way, if the Blue Book comes next, you'll see Selorin and Vade's (crosses fingers) happily ever after go on and on and on. Just like Bade and Orinakin. |

*cackle* I'm on Twitter and haven't seen anything new about that... then again, I've been busy worrying about Brian's swine flu, but I digress.
Next book... I either want Selorin or Remin.

I want  's book next because he seriously needs to have sex. Watching him be celibate has become painful and, on a completely selfish note, I want to see Remin in action. Rereading Pass the Hour just doesn't work anymore. And I think he needs to marry a former bela and take a two week honeymoon to Satatunin with nothing but oil, sex toys, and bondage gear in their luggage. I can't see any of the other Siblings next, honestly.  strikes me as not quite ready to settle down,  is having too much fun scewing nearly every available person he meets,  and  will take a while to recover from Hitari's betrayal (I seriously doubt that Ritek will be around for the long term) and  is too immature to be making that kind of decision and I can't imagine he'd pick a spouse before he picks what he wants to do with his life. But maybe that's all wishful thinking on my part just to I can see Remin gettin' sexay.  |
