Hi! I simply love your books and my favourite one is The two princesses of Bamarre. So is there going to be a sequel to that book?

A Goodreads user
A Goodreads user asked Gail Carson Levine:

Mrs. Levine, I haven't picked up a book by you that I haven't loved. While I never cared much for Tinker Bell aside her original appearance in J. M. Barrie's novel, I've fallen in love with your depiction of her in the Fairy Dust Trilogy books. I'm fascinated by the depth you brought to characters that I'd considered fairly bland. What was it like to work with them? Was Disney very restrictive in what you could do?
