Please read the Trilogy of Kithamar! It's genuinely so good and the idea of building a trilogy on simultaneous stories rather than a sequel as continuation works wonders
Finished Blade of Dream. Didn't expect it to love it as much as Age of Ash but I did. Still in awe at how Daniel Abraham managed to repeat this feat twice (and I hope thrice once the last book comes out).
Feeling emptiness from leaving beloved characters once more. But that's part of why it's great

I’d fund an adaptation of Daniel Abraham’s Dagger and Coin series, and then his Kithamar trilogy, then Justin Cronin’s The Passage… I would go bankrupt bankrolling adaptations that aren’t more marvel silage

The Kithamar books from Daniel Abraham do this pretty well in a fantasy setting I think.

I always called The Aspects. The publisher always called it the Kithamar Trilogy. The third book should match the first two.

I'm very excited for this. I've wondered though, when did the series start being called Aspects of Kithamar? The spines of my first two say The Kithamar trilogy.

Really looking forward to Kithamar 3 and loved both series very much.

Fair point.
So as I move toward the publication of the last book of the Aspects of Kithamar, I'll just mention that I have two other completed epic fantasy series -- The Long Price Quartet and The Dagger & the Coin -- that I'm quite pleased with and both available for TBR piles.

I KNOW preorders are super important for books, but they're also not how consumers find products, so like... just remember the long tail.
People want to go into a place, pick up a thing, and enjoy it. Build more infrastructure around the period of time when readers can actually be consumers.

we are (I am) now in the wonderfully agonizing waiting period for both Captive's War #3 and Kithamar #3 (Daniel Abraham's under-appreciated, fantastic fantasy series which you should ALSO be reading)
"Corey builds to every revelation with masterful restraint, and yet this is the kind of book you want to clear your calendar for."
Book two in James SA Corey's Captive War series is here, and @mollytempleton.com thinks you'll like it:

One thing I like about @abraham.bsky.social 's Kithamar books is that the inhabitants of Kithamar do view other places this way...but visitors TO Kithamar see it as the place that has unusual cool stuff from *their* perspective.

Seconding Kithamar and Memory Theater!

Seconding Kithamar and Memory Theater!
idk if it's just my bubble but I never see anyone talk about Daniel Abraham's Kithamar books and they're absolutely fantastic (feels weird to think of 1/2 of JSAC as unrecognized but his solo stuff is different!).
also I think about Karin Tidbeck's The Memory Theater a lot.

Wow, really eager for it then. Thank you again for letting us discover Kithamar and its secrets!

Oh! Interesting. What is it about these stories that makes you classify them in that way? Kithamar feels so much more personal and focused on individual experience than what I expect from epic fantasy, so I’m interested to understand your perspective.

I thought you meant Kithamar. I can't imagine having to work with all the layers of what happened & when added with each book and keep it all consistent. Hats off to you!

Yay! I've bought the first two Kithamar books but I haven't read them yet, I've been waiting for the third to do that all together.
I trust you enough (i.e. loved the other series) to do this 😃
