When Will The Next Hibit Novel Be Released?

From what I've gathered in various book communities and author interviews, Hibit's next novel is still in the works. The author mentioned in a recent podcast that they're aiming for a 2024 release, but didn't specify a month. I remember the gap between 'Whisper of Stars' and 'Veil of Memories' was about 20 months, so if they maintain a similar schedule, we might see it around autumn 2024.

What's really exciting is that the author's assistant dropped a hint on Discord about this being the longest book in the series yet. There's also rumors about special illustrated editions coming from different regions. I've pre-ordered every Hibit book since 2018, and the way the storylines are converging suggests this next installment could be the most epic one yet. The fan theories about the protagonist's mysterious heritage better pay off!

but based on their previous publishing patterns, I'd guess it might be around late 2024 or early 2025. Hibit tends to take about 18-24 months between books, and the last one came out in mid-2023. I've joined their mailing list and follow their social media accounts for updates. The wait is killing me, but I know it'll be worth it. Hibit's world-building and character development just keep getting better with each book.

The author's blog mentioned they're currently editing the manuscript, which typically means we're in the final stages before publication. Looking at the publisher's catalog and comparing it to similar fantasy series, I'd estimate a release window between September 2024 and February 2025.

There's also some interesting speculation in fan forums about potential tie-ins with the upcoming 'Hibit Chronicles' mobile game, which might influence the release timing. Some fans think we might get a special edition bundle. I've noticed Hibit often coordinates major releases with fantasy conventions, so keep an eye on announcements around those events.

While we wait, I've been revisiting the short stories set in the same universe. They've been dropping subtle hints about the next novel's plot. The community has pieced together that it might involve the long-lost City of Mirrors, which was only briefly mentioned in 'Shadows of the Eclipse'. This makes the anticipation even more intense.
