This looks rad, I had so much fun with the first two.

Oooh, yay. I love the wonderful ambiguity of the title. How is it triumphant? Because "Spell and Breaker stuck in a tree, K-I-L-L-I-N-G!"

Oh dear.

😮

This cover is fantastic! And I'm going to go pre-order copies for me and Ed right now.

mytholder.bsky.social•111 days ago

You guys should poke Orbit for review copies!

roamingbookgnome.bsky.social•110 days ago

Oooo good idea. I will commence poking.

I can praise the first two as exciting, thoughtful reworks of HF concepts, vivid writing, and strong characters but here’s a virtue that doesn’t get enough attention;

Punctuality! Three books in three years. Excellent all round

Thank you! My early writing career was for a company with a very strict attitude towards deadlines, so stuff gets done (when it's on deadline; no deadline, and it's all a lot more wobbly)

I worked as a broadcast journalist for decades. I realised later that deadlines were the key to my professional life. ADHD always threatened to make “set your own timetable” a disaster

What a gorgeous cover!!! 👀

Definitely going to pre-order! I've loved this series!

The three covers are of impecable taste. Love them

alexsbradshaw.bsky.social•111 days ago

An amazing cover!

snoodmonger.bsky.social•111 days ago

Excited. The first book was so good I bought and read all your other novels.

snoodmonger.bsky.social•111 days ago

Also, just pre-ordered!

mytholder.bsky.social•111 days ago

Huzzah! I’m glad you enjoyed them!

At last, a trilogy that actually has a third book😎 Patrick Rothfus can learn something perhaps🌹

jordanloyalshort.bsky.social•110 days ago

Hell yes! Almost finished with The Sword Unbound...🔥

If the first book was “what do heroes do after the Quest?” and the second was “what if the Quest was actually a horrible mistake in the first place?”, the third is “can you make things right?”

I have grown weary of stories that go "well, that character's story is done; let's kill them off instead of addressing the 'now what?'."

You may have just sold me some books...

mytholder.bsky.social•111 days ago

That's very much the theme. 9 heroes go off and slay the dark lord, then.... huh. What now?
