You seem so relaxed handling what’s probably a stressful situation. Can’t wait to pick up both books. And hey, Tad Williams has never written a series he didn’t have to split up or expand. It’s all good!!

Honestly, your books are so amazingly big I am not too upset that it will be split into two. We have been getting such great value for money for the first 3 books (each being so many times bigger than other books) that I am fine with this news! Looking forward to book 4 (and onwards!).

While it is true that this is a financial decision, paper cost being what it is, his books are SOOOO long that even splitting it in half still makes for two really big books, both of which I certainly intend to buy in hardcover as soon as they are available. As an added bonus, Christopher will actually earn more money, at least one would hope. He is well deserving of it.

This happened with Ken Liu and Jim Butcher. Not because of a paper shortage- they just let the length get away from them. They released ‘both books’ close together. Glad to hear ‘b’ will be released closely. I hope you’re happy with the final result! I found both parts of Butcher’s latest were hurt by the split.

Great stuff man, can't complain with more story. I just hope the book 4a and 4b (is that what they are now? or 4 and 5?) isn't too long. Out of interest how did you think of stuff to add into each book? Was stuff you had in your initial outline but couldn't make it into one volume? Or was it material for short stories that you figured could fit in here?
@SunEaterBooks2 жыл бұрын
Mostly it was stuff I just didn't have the space to get into. A couple things were things I realized I could start seeding now rather than later. It's hard to be more specific without ruining things, though!

Greetings, Christopher. Thanks for the update and transparency. Strange times indeed. I have my preorder confirmed by Amazon and the initial page count is 912. Considering what you just shared with us, does that mean that both volumes will be around 456 pages each? Will that change the final price tag of Kingdoms of Death? Be well and again thanks for the excellent communication 😎🖖
@SunEaterBooks2 жыл бұрын
I can't be 100% certain of the final page count, but it will be somewhere in that region, I'd expect. I don't know what that's going to mean for the price tag, especially with the ballooned production costs--but we'll find out together.

@fjuran12 жыл бұрын
If during the editing process of book 4, there was an elimination of some important parts, then I'd say this is a good thing, as we can get this back. However, if the story is getting bloated and parts added in unnecessarily for the sake of this publishing company crap (big books are still being published as we speak - although stay tuned on Tad Williams who may be going thru the same split up for his third volume) then well I'm not too thrilled about. Fingers crossed, Christopher, I eagerly await the next volume. Sad that I have to wait longer for the conclusion.
@SunEaterBooks2 жыл бұрын
Williams and I have the same publisher, so it's quite possible he'll be subject to the same thing (though it'll be interesting if his big-ness makes him immune to the problem). Can't say too much about how I plan to address these circumstances, but rest assured in that I am doing my very best to give you my very best.
