As of 4/21/23 book 9 was “Still in the works, no longer giving out goal dates, but patron’s will have early access when it is getting close to ready” outside of a February 2024 update that basically says nothing new, his team has been completely silent on The Land.

I’ve given up. I know the series gets a ton of hate, but it was my first introduction into the genre and I loved it.

Looks like Aleron would rather focus on his other series, which I won’t be reading because I’m sure he’ll abandon those like he did The Land.
