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!!

This is honestly more exciting hearing this! 1 more book and 1 more awesome cover art for the Sun Eater series sounds great to me

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!).

No panic here - you’ve more then earned my trust as a loyal reader. I’m just sorry it’s a lot more work for you.

"you're getting more story out of this" absolutely SOLD. Thrilled for more! Thanks for the heads up!

Extra Sun Eater material? Yes please! Thanks for the update, Christopher.

Just became a patreon. Wanting to support you for your amazing work as well show my appreciation for you as a person. Thank you for giving my wife and I countless hours of enjoyment with your works. Your balance of being incredibly talented and yet so humble and open is really something special. You’ve made two permanent fans up here in Canada. Cheers, and praying for all the best for things to work out. -Graham

More Sun Eater content? Sounds like good news to me! I'm glad to hear you're happy with the breaking point and the new material. Can't wait to read it!

I'm really hoping we can get both parts in 2022! I'm also pumped to see the new cover and hear what the title is of the new one! Thanks for the update Christopher.

I am still with you Ruocchio! Thanks for the update. 🔥Still can't wait for the books🔥.

More story and another beautiful cover? Count me in!

I love when this happens. More story. Looking forward to them all.

I get one more Sun Eater book? I win!

I will never complain about having another gorgeous book to put on my bookshelf. This is super exciting and I have complete faith you will nail it!

Looking forward to it!!!

So your series is 6 books and now unintentionally fits the Devil theme even better.

I know this means a lot of work for you, but it sounds like great news to me. Love your books!

I’m super excited for the next books!! Cant wait to re-read the first three books in the lead up to book 4A, then fight with my family over who gets to read it the moment it arrives.

This sounds super exciting, it seems like you’re handling such a huge change incredibly well. Thanks for explaining the logistics behind it as well, it’s fascinating. Any idea on how current pre-orders will be handled?

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?

My friend's book, second-to-last in a series, was delayed from December to February because of paper shortage.

I've heard a lot of amazing things about your books from Mike and many other readers, and this popped up on my feeds. Btw... on an unrelated (or maybe related) note, is that the entire Berserk Deluxe Edition on your bookshelves!? Damnnnn

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.

Good news, great news. Excelent day.

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 😎🖖

Need some hardcover reprints of the first books

I'll be patient, and to be honest, more story - even if split in two- is better than less 😏🖤😈

It's like we're back in the 1930's. Still eagerly waiting for the new books.

More text from Hadrian is never a bad thing. Bet it was a mixed bag of emotions when you got that news. "Sweet another book!... crap I need to rewrite a lot." Not that it matters, but will this affect the price point of Book 4A?

📚 more books is more books

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.

This just means more sun eater let’s freaking gooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I actually rather have 2 shorter books. Easier to travel with, quicker reads, same overall story. Weirdly good news.

Paper shortage. Solution? Cut the book in half to make two books and then make each part longer. Now uses more paper. Fun. That was a good morning chuckle.

Book I: Kingdom of Death Book II: Empires of Death

Annoying for you but personally can't complain about the series getting more material
