Straight up, I’ve never been able to get a solid number on that, which is weird because I read the whole thing. The main arc is four books: 'Night Sky', 'Starry Eyes', 'Sky Full of Stars', and 'Midnight Sun'. But then there are those two spin-off novellas set in the same world, 'Daylight Savings' and 'First Light'. I count those, personally, because the characters cross over. Some wikis and forums only list the four, though. Makes it frustrating when you're trying to complete a collection.
My local bookstore’s website bundles them all together as a 'Night Sky Universe' set, which lists six items total. I think the confusion comes from the original publisher only marketing the core quartet. So the answer depends on whether you're a completionist or just following the primary plot. I lean toward six.

It actually depends entirely on what you want from the series. The publisher says chronological order—starting with 'First Star'—and that's fine if your main goal is following the plot from its historical beginning. But I tried that and found 'First Star' incredibly slow. It’s a prequel written later, and it feels like homework compared to the original core trilogy.
I’m firmly in the 'publication order' camp. Start with 'Midnight Galaxy'. The trilogy—'Midnight Galaxy', 'Stellar Drift', 'Eventide'—was written as a complete arc, and the mystery of the protagonist's past works so much better when you don’t already have the prequel’s answers. The later books, including 'First Star', then become rewarding expansions, answering questions you actually have.
I think publication order preserves the original intended emotional journey. You can always loop back to the prequels and side novels like 'Nebula's Echo' later.

I keep a pretty close eye on release dates for ongoing series, and 'Night Sky' has been one of the more reliable ones, at least for the last few years. The author, Kaelen Thorne, seems to work on a pretty set eighteen-month schedule for the mainline novels. We got 'Stellar Drift' in January '22, 'Nebula's Veil' in July '23, and the next one, 'Eventide's Echo', is already up for pre-order with a November '24 date. That's a solid track record.
Of course, 'regularly' depends on your definition. For some readers who binge web serials that update daily, eighteen months feels like an eternity. But for a traditionally published fantasy series with intricate world-building, that's actually a brisk pace. Thorne also puts out novellas and short story collections in the interim, which helps fill the gap for die-hard fans. I'd say the rhythm is predictable, which is a blessing in a genre where some authors vanish for a decade between books.

Actually, it depends entirely on which 'Royals' series you mean. The popular ones I've seen swing both ways. The original series by Erin Watt, which is the high school/mafia drama one, has relatively long books. I remember each installment feeling like a substantial novel, definitely not a quick read. They pack in a ton of drama and multiple character POVs.
In contrast, something like the 'Royals' series by Emma Chase has much shorter, snappier books. I think 'Royally Screwed' is maybe 50k words? They're more focused on single romantic pairings per book. So there's no single answer. I guess the trend I've noticed is that the more soapy, saga-like series tend toward longer installments, while the lighter, romantic comedy ones keep it shorter.
My shelf has both, and my reading mood decides which length I pick up.

the length varies wildly depending on the series and target audience. Take 'The Horrible Science' series—those books are designed for middle graders, usually clocking in around 128-160 pages with illustrations. They're packed with info but keep it snackable. On the flip side, something like 'The Science of Discworld' blends fiction and science, pushing 300-400 pages per book because it's diving deep into concepts while telling a story.
Then there's textbook-style series like 'For Dummies' or 'The Complete Idiot's Guide.' Those often hit 400-600 pages because they’re structured to cover everything from basics to advanced topics. The page count isn’t just fluff—it’s layered explanations, diagrams, and sometimes even workbook sections. Compare that to niche series like 'Very Short Introductions,' where each book condenses complex subjects into 150 pages max. It’s fascinating how publishers tailor length to purpose—some aim to overwhelm with detail, others to hook you fast.

2023, and honestly, it was totally worth it! This series has this amazing ability to blend fantasy and adventure while delving deep into character development. I just love how the new characters are introduced with such depth; they're not just there to fill space!
The world-building feels as if you're stepping right into a dream. Each new episode or chapter keeps us on our toes and makes the wait feel like an eternity, but every twist and turn just fascinates me further. Plus, I can't get enough of the stunning visuals that accompany the narrative. It’s like being on an adventure while binge-watching a great anime! Can't wait for what they cook up next!
If you haven't checked it out yet, you truly should! 'Sky Valley' hooks you right in with its charm, and the community discussing theories and characters is phenomenal!
