Deliverance of Dragons, January Update

[merlinscribe]

First of all, a happy 2025 to everyone.

Deliverance of Dragons is wending its way through the proofing process, wherein the author(s) discover they gave multiple chapters the same title, the same moonturn, and often forgot their calendars completely. Fortunately our copyeditor is a very patient man, and has uncomplainingly caught all our mistakes. Any mistakes remaining are entirely mine: feel free to point them out since we might be able to fix them in the mm paperback.

Once we're past this, copyediting and proofing are done. I'm very excited about getting the book on-press. And then it will be May, and we will all have copies in our hands.

Happy new year to you, too! Glad to hear things are moving along. :)

[merlinscribe]

Thank you! With the speed of a chilled and arthritic slug, but moving. :)

May will be here before we know it! I've started rereading the Obsidian Mountain books. Not sure if I'll reread the Phoenix books or just do Crown and Blade after.

Happy new year!

Awesome! Can't wait!

[merlinscribe]

Me too, actually. Will there be reviews? What will they say? Will people like the same scenes I liked? Who knows?

Happy New Year!

I don't know why notifications for posts never reach me but excellent news! Thanks for the update!

You are entirely welcome. I have the same problem often enough for it to be entirely annoying; the only thing I can think of to suggest is to just scrub everything off your page (in terms of notifications) and then put them back on again. Sometimes that works.

Just checked in to see where the process is at for this book, and. . . . WHOOOOOHOOOO!!!!
I've pre-ordered it from my local bookstore. Thank you for your effort and patience in finishing this series and not giving up (like a certain GRRM). The Dragon Prophesy is my favorite of the 3 trilogies!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

YAY!

Seriously, I could barely sleep last night in anticipation of this book release. I know it’s not gonna make it arrive any faster but I keep checking the shipping tracker! Thank you so much for finishing this book and I can’t wait to lose myself in it.

Audible sounds different

First, absolutely hyped for the release, pre-ordered the ebook and audiobook. But the audiobook sounds different; I was confused, but it's listed as the same voice actors as the previous two books, but even just the prologue is a lot flatter and more stilted than the previous books for the He Who Is portion. Which is a shame, because the interludes/Endarkened portions are some of my favorite parts (in terms of voice acting/sound). Did something change that's not noted?

I have just finished Deliverance, and I enjoyed it thoroughly! It has been so good to finally have come to a conclusion on this trilogy after so long.
I am curious, how long was the original manuscript you handed over vs. the final cut? I ask because I felt like I could almost physically see where portions of the story had been removed for brevity, presumably by or at the behest of Tor/editorial staff. Will those deleted scenes ever see the light of day? I relished all of the Rune/Vie interactions and have been left craving more!
Thank you sincerely for all of the interactions here and the transparency you’ve demonstrated! And thank you for writing my favorite books (my son Kellen may want to have a word one day though).

Whooo!
