So. Managed to finish “Yellowface” last night, which means I am now starting “Heavenly Tyrant.” Did I intend to read both those books in January? Yes, but it is what it is.

Issuing a correction to page 434 of Heavenly Tyrant:
![It's come to my attention that some people have been reading a certain scene in Heavenly Tyrant in a way I did not intend, and it's causing me so much distress that I am formally issuing a correction to the book in the form of a set of clarifying lines.
If you own a printed copy of Heavenly Tyrant right now, please take a pen and add the following lines to the top of page 434: [We can sculpt anything out of spirit metal. I could even FEEL through it. We can make this work.]
If you haven't read to that point yet, you can cover the text with a piece of paper to avoid spoilers while flipping through the book. The page is on the lefthand side.
Hopefully this scene will now read without ambiguity. I am campaigning to get the lines added in the ebook and future physical printings, including the translated editions. I've already confirmed that the Italian version (which has incredible translation work by Paolo Maria Bonora, btw) will have them in.
Thank you, everyone, and sorry for the trouble! I really thought it was plenty obvious that he was about to get pegged.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5v2dih6vrgbwcregngr2ecz4/bafkreiaxvxusybyu6j5ydikpgquzcdcqohywjgjo4kzp5txzhkryeiuciq@jpeg)

A month or so ago I saw a post by someone saying "we should all admit that Neil Gaiman has always been a shitty writer." That whole knee jerk revisionism. No, man, that's part of the whole horror. He's an internationally recognized writer. Objectively a good writer. But he's also a fucking monster.
