So 'The Splintered Sun' will also be standalone novel, right? I'm kind of at a loss where exactly this would feature into the timeline. I've a feeling it could be sometime after 'Brothers of the Wind', no? Still prior to the Fall of Asu'a I'm guessing? Pretty sure 'The Shadow of the Things to Come' could easily be written as a bigger novel rather than the somewhat shorter novels 'The Heart of What Was Lost' and 'Brothers of the Wind'. The idea to have an Nabbanai envoy as the narrator is pretty good, but the story could easily profit if there was another narrating voice added giving the POV of the Rimmersmen or perhaps even some Sithi voices as well.

ylvs Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Tad said on faceborg The Splintered Sun will take place during the reign of King Tethtain, so roughly 250 years after the fall of Asu'a and 250 years before the Stormking's war.

Ah, yes, that would have been the other era I was thinking about. I thought the eventual succession of the young prince from BotW could also be a nice background scenario. But with Tethtain it might also be quite interesting how the Hernystiri lost their larger empire, etc. Although his backstory might also have been interesting, with the poem indicating a lot of backstabbing and intrigue there.

Jiriki Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 The current final manuscript page for The Navigator's Children is page 1163. It is a vast novel. I have no idea how Tad thought he could wrap things up 1,100 pages earlier. Ser Scot A Ellison 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derfel Cadarn Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 The fuck?? Was about to start a reread of MTS , and then reading the new series, timing it so that I’d be done in time for book 4. Another year?? Madame deVenoge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Patrek Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Hmm, could be that the editorial notes demanded more changes than Williams expected. A year's delay is quite rare, especially when a pub date has been announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jussi Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 https://www.tadwilliams.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=12868 Tad and Deborah are moving back to the South Bay area, from the Santa Cruz area, due to Tad's mom passing last year and his dad moving to assisted living. As a result, Tad has no time right now to finish TNC (which only needed rewriting), as they have a decade's worth of six people's stuff (and, like, ten pets' stuff) to go through/cherish/throw out, and make some repairs (fence, porch, etc) on the Santa Cruz house. Tad's garage alone was A Project back in 2013-2018, the times I was there, filled to the brim with books, books, books, scrolls, witchwood armor... it was what we called "The Full-On Morgenes' Chambers". They had acquired a lifetime of treasures in their strange and wonderful house, which I don't think was actually built for six (+ten). Moving is always a project. Moving when you've had four young people and your spouse and yourself and ten pets (including a snake) all there... it's a big chore. As a result, he's taking an unintended sabbatical and the publisher has pushed the date back by one year. I don't think that much time will be necessary.
