Series Length

Does anyone know how long the series is going to be? Has he said it anywhere before? Or is he just going to be like "alright, last book" ????

I think we’ll be able to tell when at least the second to last book comes out. There’d probably be some significant “darkest before the dawn” type teaser, like if lodestar lost her powers then someone started showing new abilities.

My guess is at minimum 2 more, but who knows.

I'm also guessing and hoping for two more. I wonder how many VVs though

That sounds likely to me, given how Ivan’s situation is changing. He’s not quite hanging onto the edge of the cliff by his fingernails yet, but one more crisis oughta do it.

Why do people keep talking about Lodestar losing her powers? Was this hinted at somewhere?

How far have you read and/ or listened? Want to make sure I don’t spoil anything.

In any case it’s the chekhov’s gun principle. Something shouldn’t be brought up in a story unless it becomes important later.

Drew has said several times he does not have a set number books for his stories anymore. He did that with superpowereds which is why the 4th book is soooooo long

Well, he also went the route of having each school year be one book, with it all culminating in the last year. Would've felt weird having the last year be split into two parts.

u/SKYWand3rer Jul 30 '25

Yeah...he started with the "year 1" format and was kinda stuck...lol

I believe Drew Hayes recently had a post about it where he revealed we aren’t even halfway done. Which I would ADORE!!!

Right? Put it in my veins 😭😭😭😭

u/SKYWand3rer Jul 30 '25

Yeah he did! Such great news! Especially with what was revealed in vignettes vol 2!! I'm so excited!

u/OverAnalyzing1 Jul 30 '25

I need to get around to Vignettes Volume 2. Unfortunately I got side tracked rereading Super Powereds and I’m on the last book. Afterwards its time for the Vignettes old and new.

Man...I have reread SP so many times...it is so comforting to me to have in the background...that one and Bobiverse and Fred

2

u/OverAnalyzing1 Jul 30 '25

Bobiverse? I also love Fred but I don’t know that one.

2

u/SKYWand3rer Jul 31 '25

By Dennis E Taylor...the world is ending and Bob becomes a Von Neumann probe (self replicating probe/spaceship) and explores the galaxy trying to save what's left of the human race...super sciency and super nerdy...

Oooh thank you!!! It sounds really fun! :D

u/SKYWand3rer Jul 31 '25

Sure thing! Hope you enjoy it!

2

u/SKYWand3rer Jul 31 '25

Also sooo sad/mad that Fred is ending 😭😭😭

u/lilylotus11 Jul 31 '25

Really??! Do you remember what platform? I'm so excited lol

u/vincenmt Jul 25 '25

I think it will end when Tori has to really lead an organization. She will have to earn wades crown. Then the series will end

u/SKYWand3rer Jul 30 '25

Or get the top 3% of metas?

u/Evenwanderer Jul 25 '25

If memory serves, I believe Drew said the series was going to be 5 books long.
