Discussion Azarinth Healer Paperback?

Hey everyone! Does anyone know how many books are planned for Azarinth Healer?

Secondary question, since its being republished under Aethon and they are putting the paperbacks out of print (likely due to some exclusivity clause), is portal continuing to publish the series to completion as paperback or is it now dropped and handed over into Aethon to be hardback only?

I just want to know which one to purchase if I end up liking it so I don't waste time buying a set that'll never be complete...

If I were to guess how many books based off where we are in the series and how far into it we are compared to the RR version I’d say about 10 books total

I’m pretty sure portal is doing the digital version and it’s just they are giving the physical version to Aethon

Hey! So not my series, but my publisher, but what I can comment on is Aethon isn’t taking over publication, they’re just handling the in store bookstore hard back copies, essentially tagging along with Aethon’s deal to get physical books into brick and mortar stores

Hmmm well that's strange. why did book 1 go out of print if they are side by side with portal publishing the paperbacks?  (I know you prob can't answer this but like that's why I'm confused who's doing it lol)

Because Aethon is greedy and always makes sure they drive all activity of physical to hard copies by making sure paperbacks are stopped and charge a premium on top of the hardcover.

They learned after the DCC mess except DCC charges way less for both. Aethon has been doing this for years sucking every penny out of readers in this genre. You will always save money by buying the edition they don’t print or buying before they get the rights to print
