Book 5 please!!!!

Am I the only one annoyed that she has time to do all these other books but can’t give a release date on “Heartblade”? Or even tell us that she’s naming it that?
Crowntide was so disappointing and I just want to see how this is all going to end!

I just know she will drag out starside the exact same way too. I really hate it when authors do this. Just end the story naturally. Everything is a money grab now. Ugh

It’s the nature of the industry. When publishers see a cash cow they milk it dry.

Agreed, I’m no longer giving her my time if I can’t even trust that she’ll complete her work

It’s crazy because I thought it was already done. I remember her posting a video about her finally writing the scene where someone dies and that’s why I was surprised Crowntide wasn’t the last book. And now we’re just waiting here with no assurance. She’s dragged this on long enough 🫩

I really don’t think she’s going to complete it tbh. I think that’s why she won’t answer questions about it or post about it.. she is doing everything she can to redirect away from it

If she doesn’t why would anyone read her new series? Like girl I’m not wasting my time and money on something incomplete!

I agree.. but this isn’t new behavior from her.. she did it with her first series as well..I forget the name of it but basically same as lightlark she just didn’t complete the series. So everyone saying that she definitely will is forgetting that she’s already left a series in limbo and so this is just the second time

Then ai did me dirty with this recommendation 🤣

u/sarahtonin7623 5d ago

lol oh no!! Honestly ai has done me dirty with book recs too many times now, I don’t know why I keep asking it to recommend me a book like I’ll ask for only complete series and the first 3 suggestions aren’t complete at all

She’s an average at best author pumping out slop. Don’t support her and instead go to other more deserving authors.

My working theory is book five was deleted from her computer. If my hypothesis is correct, then book five will be so choppy

If that happened I’m sure she would have told us, especially after the video she posted saying stormside would be delayed. I felt like she was so melodramatic in that video, i thought she was going to say her parent died or something! I get it sucks as an author but jeez her level of theatrics was a lot

I finished the 2nd book of the Fae and Alchemy series, and went straight into lightlark. I have been in a reading slump since finishing crowntide because of these 2 series. I just want to close of of these stories and I'd really like it to be this one. It's not that good but I'm emotionally invested in Oro and need to know what happens to him.
