It's at Kobo UK now. Bought.
It's at B & N now, just bought for my nook!
My birthday is this Sunday, so I bought this as an early birthday present. Many thanks. I am enjoying it so far.
On page 5 "cloud-gray afternoon light" followed by "somnolent boredom of the morning" was a little confusing. I guess Des is a late riser?
Thank you. I view these ebooks as gifts from a retiring writer to her readers. I know how much work writing can be and I am grateful.

Des was bored throughout the morning, now it’s afternoon and something has occurred at last to relieve her boredom. I didn’t find it confusing; but different people react differently, as always.
It’s the start of a long weekend here in Australia. Thank you for the perfectly timed treat!
One typo in Apple Books version: “Ivola trailing in doubt, but not resistance, Spirit and Iva joined hands, and jumped.”
Should be Itola. (Names are always the hardest typos to catch!)

And one more of the same type:
“dizzying experience of Spirit-Ivola-Iva’s joint life”
A quick book search only found these two Ivola’s though. :-)
Awesome timing! Leaving on orders shortly and will have this to distract me from missing home. Looking forward to Pen and Des's insights on death!
Spoiler comment warning:
Awww! Cyn got to ride Laisa's horse that Gregor gave her.... Although *that* pure white horse was a mare, as I recall.
Keeping white horses white rather than green has given me a strong preference for plain bays. My current horse's three high white stockings require a lot of scrubbing. So good to read something from a horsewoman who gets the details right!
Kobo Australia had the goods ready and waiting for me 🎉🎉💗
Found a tad amusing typo in Barnes & Noble Nook copy: "A pair of pierced lattice widows."

Also in the Apple Books version, but I missed that one completely on first reading. (Probably going too fast.) :-)

Also in the Kindle version, but I didn’t notice it until you pointed it out.

All 5 platforms are done from the same file, so any typo will be present, alas, everywhere.
This also means that for corrections, my Spectrum ebooks wrangler has to go through 5 separate copies/vendors to repair any typos, so I do try to limit this chore to one pass.
Heh. Yet another example of "labor saving" computer tasks actually creating more labor -- in a print publication such would not be possible and thus not done. (Well, until a second printing, if there is one, and that only sometimes.)

I found four cases where "though" should be "through":
She answered aloud though his mouth
Learned Sioann, who has, though me, a vested interest in all this
A flicker of frustrated memories ran though his mind...
...rediscover his home for himself though this fresh way of seeing.
And one missing "the":
This question was answered when road resolved before them,
And a missing "n":
sharp jagged flashes of pain like little lightings
Also, I really enjoyed the story. Pen is building quite the collection of nonstandard sorcerers in Orbas!
In the Kindle version the final word in this sentence is on the following page. Is this a typo/something missing? It doesn't quite make sense to me, but appreciate that may be my fault?
"Four horses rested in straight stalls, their colors… quiet?

Yes, I just Docusigned the contract with Blackstone for it yesterday. Figure 3 - 4 months for production to release.

That's just Cin struggling to put into words a second-sense he's never experienced before.

Good so far.
