I am a huge Ruiz Zafon fan but I had no idea until I looked this up just now. I feel like going and sitting in the dark for the rest of the day.

R. MartinThe Doors of Stone by Patrick Rothfuss *Big sigh* These two in particular have gone so far beyond "unknown" that putting them in the same post as a headline saying 2022 feels like it's building false hope. I remember being disheartened by the lack of conclusive TWoW news in 2013. The quote in my signature was intended to be an accurate gauge of the sentiment at the time, but as time goes on it becomes more and more ironic. It took a few more years before I ever heard about Rothfuss and his tale, though, but what I heard after reading the two books was not very uplifting.

El Kabong Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Good Lord. 2013? It has been a really long time hasn't it? I feel at least with TWoW it's at least being worked on. The Doors of Stone I would bet real money on never being published. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calibandar Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 So far for 2022 there are only a few on my radar: All the Seas of the World by Guy Gavriel Kay Siege of Terra book 7 by Aaron Dembski Bowden and Siege of Terra 8 by Dan Abnett Day of Ascension by Adrian Tchaikovsky and possibly also his second Final Architecture book Looking at other favorites: Are we gonna get Winds of Winter? One can only hope but we did that since 2011. No idea. No new novel from Abercrombie but it sounds like The Devils will be out in 2023. Robin Hobb recently said on her blog that she has only written a few short stories the last few years, but hopes that she will find out this winter if she has a final novel left in her ( I really hope so..) No words from R Scott Bakker. Hope Endlords by JV Jones comes out, maybe someone can give an update on what she last said. Its not listed yet for 2022.

I'm anxious for it to come out on the 15th even though the online reviews that I have seen so far did not ranked it highly. I have not read it but am also very excited for it. Most of Abraham's books aren't as well loved on Goodreads or Amazon as they seem to be here, so I'm not worried if early reviews aren't glowing. I'm quite sure I'll love it. It's also very possible that it's a similar situation to A Shadow in Summer, which was a slow burn, not action-heavy character study that provided set up for the rest of the series. On its own, it may not be outstanding but the follow-ups could make it a masterpiece in retrospective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
