My It's Been A Long Time

I see from my posts that it has been a shockingly long time since I did anything like keep you in the loop. I blame this on the fact that March, April, and part of May were spent going in and out of the hospital, and the rest of May and much of June was spent packing to move.

None of these activities, you will note, leaves time or energy to write.

All of which is my craven and deeply apologetic way of explaining why the book isn't done. It's extremely annoying to be 80 pages from the end in April and still there in August.

It's still great to hear from you even if no progress has been made! I actually just finished reading the Phoenix Trilogy this past month and really enjoyed it. It was very different from the other two series in this world which was very interesting for me. (It was also very funny to me to compare the very detailed and nuanced descriptions of living in the desert in your books to the desert episode of the the Witcher lol)

Congrats on finishing the book! I am very excited, the Obsidian Trilogy has been my favorite series since I read it, but I can easily foresee the Wings of Fate series bypassing it once its complete.

It's more or less the entirety of S3 Episode 7, I don't know about clips from the show but this video is decent overview of what happens: https://youtu.be/3mHmEb56n-Q?si=vlPPCTeU76vXNHcQ&t=211

The thing that stood out to me was the 2 full days in the desert with minimal to no water and basically no protection from the sun, which just seems like a death sentence to me. I guess there is magic involved so who knows but I definitely preferred the desert in your books.
