This question contains spoilers… (view spoiler)

Michael J. Sullivan Hey Benjamin. Thanks for writing. I've not read any of Adrian Tchaikovsky's Shadows book - but I will certainly add it higher on my TBR pile. I've been pretty "heads down" with editing book #4 of the new series (which needed some MAJOR rework - Thanks Robin for making the book so much better!) I just have to do the edits to book #5 (which should be much easier) than I'll have some spare time and I can do more reading for pleasure and I'll certainly give Adrian's stuff a try. Direct recommendations mean so much especially given how slow I read and how high my TBR pile is. I'll add him on the challenge list.

Glad you have enjoyed the adventures of Royce and Hadrian. The reception to The Death of Dulgath has been really good...so the likelihood of a fourth chronicle is looking good at this point. Still, until I have a story mapped out and a good part of the writing done (such that I know it's "working" I won't know for sure - but chances are pretty good.

Thanks for being interested in Age of Myth. I'm getting pretty excited myself. The ARC's are in, the final copy edits and proofing have been completed so it's just a matter of waiting now. I think June will be here in a blink of an eye.

The Death of Dulgath was a nice opportunity to spend more time in Royce's head than I have in the past. Usually Hadrian is our major POV character of the duo and I found it really fun to give more information on Royce and what he is thinking. And yes, you are right. That book certainly shows how Gwen has been chipping away at Royce's exterior. It also made him admit something to himself that he's been trying to avoid. He's not very happy with Gwen being his "fifth thing" but he now knows there is no denying how he feels.

Thanks for the questions.
