Skyward 3 (Nowhere) = Spensa POV, with 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 "novellas"?

Per this update from a recent YouTube Livestream, Brandon has focused Nowhere as a Spensa-centric adventure, but not wanting to leave her Skyward flight so much out of things for another novel, has commissioned Janci Patterson as a co-writer to spinoff three POV novellas (presumably from different Skyward flight characters) to see parallel events happening without Spensa.

That sounds pretty cool!  I wonder if it will be three separate novellas, or a single larger volume with the three POVs interspersed? I kind of think the latter would be better in the long run, as a bookshelf management or re-reading kind of thing, but from a writerly POV I suppose it's easier to write three separate POVs in three separate streams?

I forgot to reply to this! 

I think it'll be three separate novellas, since that has what Brandon has said in both in the SotS and Update 3. I can see the three being released as one volume in print though, sort of like how the Legion novellas are.

The first novellas are titled Sunreach and ReDawn according to the progress on Brandon's website!

I'm so excited for the novellas already! And they're being co-written with another author which makes it much more anticipating.

Also, I think one of them is going to be in FM's POV? It says so in this WoB excerpt:

...And the first of the Skyward novellas that Janci wrote is just spectacular, I really like it. If you guys like the Skyward books, it's from FM's viewpoint. It kind of takes a character that I had done very little with and does a lot more with her...Cosmere.es Interview (April 22, 2021)

Tbh FM's one of my favorite flight members so I'm really excited about this. I really don't think this is final though--it's still in its early stages but here's to hoping!

Considering that the first Skyward novella is in the final draft, I think you can get excited!
