In an attempt to remain somewhat calm and keep my anxiety in check I’ve been re-reading some of my favorite YA fiction, because you know, #comforting.
Next on the list was Meg Cabot’s Mediator series.
(Side note, it’s a fucking TRAVESTY that there is not a larger fandom around these books, I was heartbroken about it at 13 and I still am today.)
Anyway - so I do a quick google search and...
BE STILL MY LITTLE FANDOM LOVING HEART...
Meg Cabot has written TWO MORE books for this series in the last 15 years and she wrote them for an adult audience!! This beautiful women has not only given us new content but also let that content grow up right alongside the readers.
Also important - it appears that she did NOT attempt to be edgy by killing off main characters, ruining established character growth, or otherwise sabotaging meaningful plot points for no apparent reason other than it’s “unconventional”
In summary... if you need me - I’ll be over here hyperventilating and then re-reading the originals so that I can properly enjoy the new books.
