Unfinished stories can be the best. They have so much potential. ‘Berserk’ and ‘Hunter x Hunter’ are good examples of this. Even though both series have been going on for what feels like an eternity, fans are completely devoted to them. In part, this is because the story is still unfolding. Once a story is completed, doors that were once open to our imaginations are closed.
I’m not saying that the series should never end, but when a work is still in the process of being written, it has a very special energy. The many, often brilliant theories that are spawned in the discussions, the feeling of the discussion being open-ended – this all disappears as soon as the work is complete. The discussions will then slowly shift from “what will happen next?” to “what did it all mean?” which is also very valuable, but in a completely different way.

I’ve been scouring every interview and social media post for clues about the release of Book 3. The author, Marlon James, has been pretty tight-lipped, but based on the gaps between the first two books, I’d speculate late 2024 or early 2025. The second book, 'Moon Witch, Spider King,' dropped in 2022, and given the epic scale of this series, it’s understandable why the wait might be longer.
Fans like me are hyped because the trilogy blends African mythology with gritty fantasy, and each book feels like a cinematic experience. James isn’t the type to rush perfection—his world-building is meticulous. If you’re new to the series, now’s the perfect time to dive into 'Black Leopard, Red Wolf' and its sequel. Trust me, the payoff will be worth it. In the meantime, I’m rereading and dissecting every detail to tide me over.

I’ve forgotten that I even pre-ordered something half the time. It’s a nice surprise from my past self. The occasional charge to my card or delivery notification and I’m confused for a moment and then I remember “Oh yeah, that book I was buying 6 months ago!”. It’s a nice little treat and something I don’t worry about in terms of the release date. It’ll get here when it gets here. I don’t follow any of the obsessive fan forums on the web where people are counting down the minutes. If you’re deep in a fandom then you’ll find it impossible to forget that you’ve pre-ordered a novel, but if you’re only buying standalone novels then this approach is blissfully ignorant.

The original Penguin Classics covers for the 100 books were designed and launched by Penguin Classics. The original covers are quite visually stunning, using bold and individual artwork to represent each of the literary masterpieces. From Frankenstein to The Scarlet Letter, each of the 100 classic books has been lovingly treated by the publisher with an eye for detail to produce some of the finest classic book covers in existence. They are testament to the great skill of cover design in bringing great literature to life.

This is great. A little digital campfire for us to share our anxieties and love for the book. As for the release date, I don't have any concrete news to add, but solidarity from someone who's also been waiting. I hope it's a great day for solarpunk and hopepunk fans everywhere. In the meantime, are there any other books we could recommend to each other that have a similar feeling? The Mountain in the Sea has some of that, but it's a much darker book.

A rumor has been circulating on the book subreddit that some retailers (particularly small online shops) might ship street date books a few days early. I would caution against counting on this, as it's far from confirmed. For now, the official street date is the only date we can safely rely upon to pre-order books in time.

Comparing me to Scott Lynch, who is also struggling to announce a release date for the next Gentleman Bastard book and has been open to his struggles with mental health as well, makes sense because I am another deeply detailed, character-driven fantasy writer. The depth of our work seems to come at the cost of a brutal, and largely unpredictable, work schedule.

I would like to see ‘Dragonfall Book 3’ made into a movie, however I fear that there would be trouble in getting all of the story and plot together within a 2 hour film. The second book is pretty intense and I fear that all of it could not be captured in a film without rushing through some of the parts.
It would work as a two-part movie or even as a series, like Harry Potter was split into movies. The dragons would have to be brilliant though. Since House of the Dragon set the bar so high, I hope they’d want to do it justice too. Bring it on either way!

I have a feeling she may be slowing down. We haven’t had a book from her in about a decade and it seems to me that she’s getting slower and slower with her releases. I wouldn’t blame her, though. She’s had a very long and successful career, and I’m sure she deserves to be in semi-retirement. Meanwhile, historical romance has branched out into so many sub-genres, and I love her old books, but I’m not holding my breath for another one. In the meantime, her backlist is wonderful and I can happily re-read The Secret and For the Roses instead.

The third book in the Cerulean Chronicles deals with the consequences of Kael’s actions in Book 2. After opening up a rift that is slowly tearing the world apart, Kael must find a way to fix it before it’s too late. The answer isn’t as black and white as he’d like, however, and soon finds himself at odds with the powerful mage Seraphina who believes the rift is a good thing. As Kael struggles to come to terms with his own role in the unfolding catastrophe, his loyalty is put to the test when his best friend Lira becomes a mere pawn in the game. The ending is heart-wrenching – did Kael make the right choice? The immense moral ambiguity of this book is what makes it so compelling.
