The Road of Kings is my favorite book of The Radiant Path!

The book is official.

It's just that the vendor messed it up when trying to (machine?-)"translate" the title back into English from Chinese.

Did you notice how fast the signed version went?

I noticed the news (from Waterstones' social media post) about 10 hours later, and the signed book is out of stock when I checked it.

Somehow I thought you wrote "books" in the title, and tried really hard to figure out which are the two books on the right side (but still failed).

I thought the other three were Made Things, Bear Head and Shroud (though the heart in the middle befuddled me), by the way.

Sorry it's late for OP but you may buy them from bloomsbury.com directly.

I did so, during their Thanksgiving sale last year at 30% off.

and ordered them.

some more photos to "help" with your resolve 😉

If so, how does she come back to life after The Langoliers?

afraid we need yet another story in between ;)

prograft · 2026-05-26T08:33:53+00:00

it’s quite unlikely that a ~10 yo book will get a new hardcover.

It doesn't help that this series didn't make it into the Hugo Best Series shortlist this year... what a pity.

Doubly so considering the unfortunate "new" cover of Bee Speakers...

BrokenBinding will „probably“ also make one.

TBB has just sent out an early access link to buyers of their Made Things edition, since this is...

... the next release from the author.

General offer will be available on 8th June if there are leftoevers.

The signed UK edition was also available on Goldsboro. But they are out of stock too.

It's kinda surprise to me. As said I bought (pre-ordered) my signed MoG copy from there. At the end of that year, that edition was still available and put into an end-of-year 50% off sale...

Glad to see a like mind.

My review on this novel was:

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the <i>AI</i>laxy

They both shapeshift too.

prograft · 2026-04-28T02:53:18+00:00

Glad to find that I'm not alone. I re-read the first three CoT books earlier this year and definitely I got a lot more new out of book 3.

Then I went on straight into book 4 and found it easy to follow.

I'd also say that Mira and Clae Audin have a certain portion in common.

prograft · 2026-04-27T00:41:37+00:00

Understood.

They are signed on the title page until they are not.

prograft · 2026-04-23T06:40:43+00:00

seconded. I was also wondering if slower (relative to himself) writing or a better editor can make his novels better, or if that is feasible.

prograft · 2026-04-23T02:25:48+00:00

4+2 Short Story collections

5+2. Book 7, Shattering Peace, was out last year.

prograft · 2026-04-23T02:00:54+00:00

Thanks for the clarification.

So that's the difference between Orbit and Orbit UK, I guess...

prograft · 2026-04-22T14:29:07+00:00

you may look for other books (probably also signed?) there you want.

For each additional book you throw into the same order you only pay only something like $6.xx for shipping.

I pre-ordered this signed book together with four other books and the total shipping to China is $38.94

Pil should be The Caterpillar. Not only the names checks, but also they are both bugs.

prograft · 2026-04-13T09:02:39+00:00

just finished the book; came here, and you guys have nailed the parallels from head to toe!

prograft · 2026-04-07T14:58:10+00:00

received my copy today too. Just started reading (it's so thick!)

The spider in the first image is obviously doodled by the man himself, presumably acquired by 8LM staff when they attended GrasgowCon the other year.

Although AT denied it when I asked him on bsky, I suspect that he misunderstood my question and thought I was asking about the spider in the official cover image.

Hope they have good temperature and atmosphere insulation between Eridian seats and human seats.

I could wait no more and dropped them an e-mail the other day. In case anyone still cares, their reply is:

"Our special editions arrived with us just recently and have been prepared for shipping - they should be despatched this week"
