Adult Wizards

Books about adult wizards set in the same universe of the Young Wizards series.

Alternate Universes

The Young Wizards universe contains canonical alternate universes (So You Want to Be a Wizard and Book of Night With Moon are good examples: the protagonists travel to alternate universes to solve problems there). So You Want To Be a Wizard is the first book in the Young Wizards series currently consisting of eight books by Diane Duane.

The Middle Kingdoms

Also known as the Tale of the Five, this high fantasy series has been awaiting completion since 1992. The books center on some of the same themes as her more well-known Young Wizards series; those who wield the Blue Fire have many of the same responsibilities as the wizards and fight the same battle against entropy. In Thermodynamics (a branch of Physics) entropy, symbolized by S, is a measure of the unavailability of a system ’s Energy In So You Want to Be a Wizard Nita's wizardry manual is written by "Hearnssen", a reference to the protagonist of The Door Into Fire, Herewiss S'Hearn (son of Hearn), so it may be that the Middle Kingdoms are part of the same sheaf of universes as the Young Wizards setting. Adding to this, one interdimensional portal in The Door into Fire appears to open over New York City. Unlike Duane's children's books, however, the Tale of the Five series deals openly with issues of alternative sexuality. Generally speaking human sexuality is how people experience and express themselves as sexual beings Within the Middle Kingdoms, bisexuality and group marriage are the norm. Bisexuality refers to sexual behavior with or attraction to people of both sexes or to a bisexual orientation Group marriage is a form of polyamory in which more than one man and more than one woman form a Family unit with all the members of the group marriage being considered Duane is working on the final volume.
