A guy doesn’t really know who the heroine really is, and they’re on opposite sides? Isn’t that kind of like Leviathan? There is! But the Love Interest doesn’t know who Frey really is, of course, because she’s an impostor-like in the title! So everything is very tricky, and also our pair are from different sides politically. Important question here: Is there any romance in Impostors? The new Uglies world will get bigger and bigger. But later on in the series, Tally (and some other familiar characters) will play a bigger role. This series mostly follow the adventures of Frey. Also I had a bunch of science fictional ideas kicking around in my head, and once I came up with Frey’s story, they all started to click.īut you said four books. Do you really think a bunch of recently awoken bubbleheads are going to make good choices?” Even stable-seeming democracies are built on seriously rickety underpinnings. Why did you go back to the Uglies world after all this time? Spy dust, suborbitals, lupine surgery, cyranos. WHAT A QUESTION OF COURSE THERE ARE HOVERBOARDSĪlso lots of other cool new tech, never seen before in the Uglies universe. There will be another trailer this summer that goes into the plot and characters of Impostors.įORGET COVERS ARE THEIR HOVERBOARDS IN THIS BOOK? This was more of a “Remember Uglies? There’s more!” reveal. It’s about the roles that our parents and society force upon us, and how we fight to create our own identities, to invent selves that really belongs to us. She’s more like a famous person in the background.Ī girl named Frey, who’s been raised from birth to pretend to be someone else. But she’s not a point-of-view character (in the first book, anyway). More than ten years! Is Tally in these books? (Wouldn’t she be, like, super old?) This new series is about all the expressions of human nature that’ve popped up after more than ten years of social upheaval. But we also will travel to other cities where things aren’t all bad. The story starts in a city where things did not work out well. As she once said, “Freedom has a way of destroying things.” The Imposters series is about dealing with the consequences of ending the Pretty Regime. They take place in the Uglies future, after Tally’s revolution has changed everything. Where are these books set? Same world? Same time frame?

I know, I’ve been doing collaborations to stretch myself lately-the Spill Zone graphic novels with Alex (read them online!) and the Zeroes series with Margo and Deb-but this is a solo project. watching that trailer, I thought it was a TV show or a movie!

You can buy them in physical bookstores or order them online here. I am returning to the world of Uglies with four new novels.
