Finished Red Side Story! Satisfying ending that leaves me hoping for the third one.

I was introduced to Jasper Fforde’s books when I was a student and enjoyed the Thursday Next series a lot, though the later books were a bit weaker. The spin-off Nursery Crimes series was fun, but not quite as good.

In 2013, I found another book of his in a charity shop: Shades of Grey. This book was a completely new setting and was absolutely superb. It had been published in 2009 and ended with a reference to two forthcoming sequels, which I assumed would be available soon. A few years passed and they still weren’t out. Eventually, I gave up waiting.

Over Christmas, a post here made me reply with a Jasper Fforde reference and I went to see if he’d written anything recently, only to discover that Red Side Story (the sequel) had come out in 2024! Sadly, I can’t remember who borrowed my copy of Shades of Grey. My partner ordered both and they arrived on Friday. I reread Shades of Grey yesterday and Red Side Story today. Absolutely worth the wait.

No spoilers, but it’s a great ending that leaves open the chance of follow-on books but doesn’t feel like an unfinished story (unlike the first one, which very much felt like a Part 1).

And now back to the stack of books I got for Christmas. I only finished four of them before rereading Shades of Grey, so have a nice pile left.
