Yeah I do not think he ever publish another one, we might get something like the Silmarillion when he dies put together by his estate, if he doesn’t have it all destroyed as part of his will.
Folio is the reason I downsized my bookcases, stop me spending so much money. I got rid of half my books, books I had no intention of ever reading again even the rare ones.
Yeah i am reluctant now unless I know the artist has finished the series. Wish I spent the extra for the folio versions of GoT series as those are at least complete and far nice
If I remember correctly they were doing an illustrated version of the book each year and then the series got delayed because they fell out with the orginal illustrator.
So it would make sense that this one would be shit, because even if its not AI errors like this are basic shit to get right, because I believe the dispute was over money.
Its probably why they and not others were picked to do this, they think people will forget
They didn’t expect the success of the first few that made the times best seller list, thats like massively more than they expected to sell, so they increased the planned number and the quality dropped massively as they expanded to the authors to suit.
If you read just the best books you’d still get the same favour but cut it to about 20 books or so, including the best ones in the Siege of Terra that are the actual ending.
I hope Bill makes a plea deal incriminating everyone else
