Saaaame. Can't wait to read both his 2026 releases so far, book 4 of the Tyrant Philosophers series, and book 4 of the Children of Time series. I have so many other authors that I wish published as voluminously as he

I couldn't get through the third Children of Time book, but would really like to see what happens to the freed demoness in Tyrant Philosophers .

Here's a suggestion.

'Over The Wine Dark Sea' by Harry Turtledove. Greek traders circa 300 BC.

Ooooof, that 3rd Children of Time book actually was a bit flimsy. Added to the lore & mythos of the universe; and that's about it.

I loved those first three Tyrant Philosophers books. Felt like he was channelling China Meiville's Bas Lag novels; but doing a superior job of it.

I'll check that out, I haven't had much exposure to Turtledove
