Short answer is "yes". Longer answer: I guess I was 10 when I read Weirdstone and 12 when the second book arrived. I was hooked and eager for more. But it didn't happen. Years later I read that he had intended a 3rd book but started to dislike the characters and refused to write it.
Could you imagine if REF had decided he hated Pug? When I heard that the 3rd book was being written after all (just 40 years late) I was really pleased. Some of the other stuff he has done since has been dark and challenging to read so I think this new book (with grown up characters) might also be more of a challenge. But it's the writer's perogative to interpret his characters and he is a very acomplished writer.
