I don't really favour either. It would have been lovely to have more of the limited ones, so everyone who wanted one was able to get one, but then that defeats the point of "limited" xD

In an ideal world, there'd be both - so even if people miss out the "special" one, they can get something nice 💙

Yeah we had wanted to get Shadow Gate out in 2025 but one of the illustrators took quite a bit longer than I'd anticipated, which meant the release was pushed to 2026. Everything else was ready to go in summer 2025!

It's all down to TBB - so hoping they do finish it! 😍

Hahahaha, it's so hard to sit on exciting information sometimes xD

TBB have said they want to do the whole trilogy, but I don't know anything yet in terms of announcements or release windows. With the finale released in 2025, I'm hoping it'll be sooner rather than later!

Now it's been revealed, hahaha, I knew TBB were working on slipcases for the press editions of The Iron Crown and The Shadow Gate!

Thank you for including The Broken Sword on this list of epic reads!!

I also am super excited to read Petition and Lonely Castles!!

Oh yaaaaaayyyyy!!! 2026 winning already!!!

So, so glad you were able to see it and get your order in on time!

I am feeling so many emotions right now it's difficult to put into words. But lots of happy ones mixed in for sure :)

I'm glad I shared one of the artworks of The Shadow Gate TBB Press Edition here, then!!

Everything is so unreliable. I would love just one massive collated list of updates and posts to read through from people I follow :(

But emails and notifications are so unreliable, it's beyond frustrating!

That is... quite frustrating :(

And you'd think something as simple as being on an email list would be easy to sort, let alone the form :(

Ahh, I hope you hear back soon, because otherwise you'll be missing out on so much news and updates :(

Ahhh that's okay! 🤗 There's always lots to read and newsletters/emails/social media posts get missed!

Hopefully you have your email from TBB inviting you to pre-order :D Pretty sure it would have gone out when they announced it, so around 17th December?

If not you can always email them direct! 🥰

I included some details in my December newsletter and on Patreon (free to follow/view)! Been shouting about it everywhere I can, but the algorithm doesn't always show everything to all followers :(

I think it was posted on Dom's Discord as well 😍😍

Do take a look: www.patreon.com/posts/tbb-pr...

Yes indeed!! I'm not sure why TBB didn't post on BlueSky - it was announced a couple of weeks ago on their Instagram and Twitter pages

If you bought book one, you should have received an email from them inviting you to purchase on early access!

AND THERE ARE SLIPCASES FOR BOOKS 1 & 2!!

Blown away by the love for the Dragon Spirits series!! So honoured to see The Iron Crown and The Shadow Gate in your top 10 reads of 2025!!

I hope you love The Broken Sword when you get to it!!

Oh wonderful, thank you so much!!

Yes of course :D

Baker's Dozen must be done! :D :D

Biscoff is such a brilliant flavour, it's very hard to top!

I don't suppose you happen to have the recipe for those Ginger Cream Biscuits, please? 😁

Thank you, and to you as well!

Have you by any chance watched Pluribus yet? It is absolutely brilliant, and the hive mind (including silent communication) immediately made me think of the various ant kinden from Shadows of the Apt
