No it’s not! There was a release date but it’s been pushed back pretty much indefinitely for now, we’re still waiting!

oh noooo, another writer like GRR Martin or Patrick Rothfuss...

Just wait till you meet Zamira in Red Seas Under Red Skies. You’ll love her. Everyone loves Zamira.

I've ordered the next two books, I'm not sure about the fourth... is it published? I mean, for real? I googled but I'm still confused.

did you enjoy it???? I know it’s a very divisive book for a lot of people but I take it you liked it???

I loved it. I even dreamt of it the last couple of nights... it is so good. The world building, the texts, the characters, the idea of the blurry division between wrong and right, good and evil, the different perspectives... and above everything, Locke Lamora, he's a cat with so many lives some of them are lies, some of them are pure luck, he's the luckiest cat in the world and he's incredibly non trustworthy, but you can't help loving him all the same. The women in the book are never damsels in distress and they're not always young and beautiful, no. Some are brave, some are wise, some are reckless... women and men in this book are all human, with flaws and all. I'm still trying to process everything I've read.

To get you an idea it's Tolkien meets Dickens meets Renaissance Venice meet ninjas... and much more

On the topic of governess romances, Courtney Milan's short story 'A Right Honourable Gentleman' is absolutely amazing. It's only fault is that it's not a full-length novel, but to be honest I'll take what I can get when it's catnip!

One good thing to come out of that post is that people have been recommending governess romance novels to me, and considering I’m still fairly new to the genre I’ll take all the recs I can get. This one will go on my list as well!

I'm very sorry and it's probably not what you are going to talk about at all but the first thing I thought of was 'ah yes outdoor sex' because gosh Balogh does a lot of that doesn't she? At least it feels that way to me...

I MEAN. Outdoor sex could easily be incorporated! I was thinking along the lines of a lot of the heroines enjoying gardening and some of the heroes liking gardening and running a country estate and, as in the case of Hartley, landscaping, and how interesting it is that Balogh’s are basically the only Regencies I know where the characters consistently long for the countryside rather than London, and there’s constantly nature and flower mentions and Romanticism in connection with it etc. But the preference for the countryside and the outdoors definitely can include sex. :D
