The one thing I hate more than people rating/reviewing books before they have read them, is when people hate on authors for writing in the same universe.
Ever since it was announce that Cassandra Clare would be writing more series in the shadowhunter universe (The Dark Artifices and The Last Hours) people have gone mental. I have seen so hate towards her on goodreads and such, that she should not be writing more books in this world – that she is only doing it for the money. As a writer and reader this makes my blood boil.
But the thing is, I haven’t just seen it with Clare, recently I have seen hate angled towards Rick Riordan with the announcement that he is writing a new series in the same world as his other books.

1.They are the author! If the author decides they want to write in the same world, then I say good on them. They can do whatever they like. They are the ones writing the books, so they can do whatever they want.
Maybe they like the world so much, and they have so many ideas and characters, that they cannot fit into one series. Both Clare and Riordan have been writing for quite a while and they both know what they are doing.
2. The author’s world isn’t all we see. When an author starts creating a world – they don’t just create the one that we read, they create so much more and sometimes, those characters and stories need to be heard.
3. They could be contacted to write a certain amount of book. Sometimes authors have contracts for a certain amount of books and I can bet you anything that some of these authors are contracted to write book in the same world. Publishers know that they will make money off them.
4. Money. This is a big thing that I am seeing. That all the author wants to do is have money. But the thing is, you kind of need money to survive in this world and if an author knows that people like a world so much that they will get money from it – they why
