I know this has been said a million times, but please make sure book 7 is PERFECT and don’t rush to meet any deadlines. Series are often judged on their endings and this really could be the best modern story if it lands just right.
I don't understand the ending thing. A bad ending certainly makes something less enjoyable, a good ending is like the icing on the cake. But that doesn't mean it will ruin or make non-existent all the hours that the story has given you all the different travel of emotions. Travel over destiny always.
I took a break from reading for a long time probably from 2016 to around 2022/2023. This was the first series that I read after that long hiatus so thank you for writing these books I have re-found my love of reading because of this series. I look forward to how this series will conclude I cannot thank you enough for writing these books.
I have never been into sci-fi in any capacity never really liked Star Wars and all that jazz, but now if anyone asks what’s my favourite sci-fi series the answer is sun eater and I don’t think that will ever change now. Keep up the beautiful work
Dude youre an incredible writer. I cant put the book down. I am so blessed to have come across your work. Your writing flows so well. I'll be done with Empire of Silence within a few days the way things are going.
I have faith in you Christopher , you never dissappointed me so far, i'm absolutely sure you will stick the landing and the last book will be the literal masterpiece, unmatched by anything written in 21 century so far. Good luck, can't wait.
This makes me so happy I finally was able to start Empire of Silence and missed the boat on any special / broken binding editions. You are on my binge list for next year. Can’t wait to catch up hopefully in time to read the final book with everyone else.
I am broke broke at the moment, but I still just ordered your first book because this series sounds incredible. Thank you for doing what you do, brother. Literature brings me great joy.
Man, well thank you--but make sure you're taking care of yourself. I hope things turn around for you soon, and that you feel the book was a worthy investment.
@SunEaterBooks Writing the last book in the series doesn’t mean you should put an end to writing in that universe you created, Mr Writer. Waiting for more stories and novels taking place in that amazing world of yours. Not so impatient to read the last book, even if I know I will enjoy it, because I know I will miss Hadrian.
Awesome Personally, I would love to know a little more about the lore and why the first leaders of the Empire felt compelled to use the Roman Empire model.
I really hope you included more of The Well in the last book. If not in the new book maybe a novella. For some reason I found it fascinating. I just started Overruled too. The first story is pretty funny! Btw did you have Sun Eater kinda mapped out before writing it or did you just start from nothing? Either way cranking out a book a year with that much content is insane, you're a machine!
I am excited to see production details of the Howling Dark Diamond edition when you are ready to share. Hope that there will be some some video uploaded to youtube from the Brandon Sanderson event you will be attending for all of us that won't be able to attend. Finally, as other people have said in the comments, please don't rush book 7 to meet the end of 2025 deadline, the Sun Eater story is great, I really hope the final book delivers, both in the story and in the thematical depth areas.
I honestly don't know if I'll be recording or not. I suppose I could, but I'm not on panels or anything. I'm just at a booth talking to readers--I don't even expect to see Mr. Sanderson at all.
Christopher I got to know was that a Neuromancer reference when they first get to Padmurak in the chapter Paradise? Kingdoms of Death is so far is just amazing.
@@SunEaterBooks Awesome man, I just finished KoD this morning, thank you for this story I know you probably get that a lot but seriously, thank you. Please never stop the references I love them.
Chris i just started Empire of Silence and your writing is all ready really good. I am having to go back and re reading sentences because I personally dont try and fast read. The only thing I will say is I wish you did a John Gywnne style book with bigger print for us more blind folks😅. I do love that larger style book but also your cover art is incredible.. Are the hardcovers for these books bigger with larger phont?
Hey man, The hardcover is marginally larger than the paperback, for sure. Sorry about that. I don't have any control over the font sizes in the standard editions!
I would soo love to make Dragonsteel Nexus ... so many of you great authors are going .. I would have a few books for you to sign 😅 Hey, I also wanted to say that I picked up a copy of Disquiet Gods, the Baen Books edition. The details around this books existence is so important to me and I wanted to get a copy before it was to late. Can't wait for the cover reveal for book 7 and the subsequent release. Thanks for the update! 🌸
I'm from Germany and am going to start reading EoS in a couple of weeks. I know that books 1-3 have already been translated into German, is it foreseeable if and when German versions of the later books will be released?
I'm afraid I don't have a definitive answer. Heyne Verlag bought the rights to books 1-4. I have no idea when 4 will be translated, I'm sorry to say, and they have not said anything about purchasing the rights to 5-7.
Hey, just sayin', if you have the travelling fortitude to endure a trip to the West Coast between MarsCon and the Cary B&N for the Portland Fan Expo on the 24-26th I can totally get you a booth. It's no Dragonsteel Nexus, but the foot traffic is considerable compared to your other two events!
I think Portland is probably bigger than Dragonsteel, to be honest, but I fear it isn't in the cards. January is going to be the month I'm pushing to finish SUT (I thought I'd be done with it when I agreed to MarsCon, haha). Cary is a half hour's drive away!
Hi Cheistopher, ive been out of the loop for a while and now youre at the 7th book wow. After writing and finiahing this book, what are you going to write about? High fantasy or something more tame
I like how I totally signed up for the Anderida email list for The Murdered Sun but never received a notice that when it became available. Per their page for the book, "Regarding the remaining 150 copies, those are now reserved." Sadness. PS put your Patreon link in video descriptions!
As others said it is not out yet, most copies are offered to those who bought the novellas/short stories already (like 3/4ths) and the rest went to some on the preorder list with more slots opening once released as people do not convert on their preorders. I am hoping we get a wider release even though this book is not canon or a second print of the fine copies (similar to the novellas reprints recently done).
@@1klakak I'm sorry about that, but I would reach out to Rob and see what the situation there is. There may be something he can do. He's usually pretty good about sorting things out.
For those of us that purchase The Murdered Sun from Anderida, can we also get it as an ebook? (I like to collect hardcovers and support authors, but prefer reading on my kindle)
Can people buy Howling Dark Diamond edition without having bought Empire of Silence? Or are there rights involved? Book 7 is gonna be amazing than you Mr. Ruocchio!
I know this has been said a million times, but please make sure book 7 is PERFECT and don’t rush to meet any deadlines. Series are often judged on their endings and this really could be the best modern story if it lands just right.
It will land just right. I've got this.
@@SunEaterBooks You're a champion! Godspeed, Chris.

Game of thrones? How'd that ending treat you?@@PhononLabs
@@kjfhyg5uy5urugfgxgjd haven't watched it, sry. BUT still like Lost even with that final.
I’m convinced Christopher is going to Dragonsteel to wreak terrible revenge on Brandon Sanderson for eating up all the paper for the Diamond Editions!
SINGLE COMBAT.
Brandon "Smaug" Sanderson and his infamous hoard of paper
Empire of Silence Diamond Edition arrived and it’s amazing! Super excited to see the cover for Howling Dark.
I just finished Ashes of Man... My God dude...
Your an amazing author, my new favorite. Your the first writer to Ever successfully make me cry.
😂😂😂
I am honored! Thank you!
The Broken Binding editions are absolutely phenomenal. Truly beautiful work!
Planning on starting your series soon! I’ve heard TONS of amazing things so I can’t wait
As long as Samuel Roukin keeps narrating the audio editions you can take as long as you want!
Great update about Book 7, mate. I'm looking forward to it!
So excited. I’m listening to every book now after finishing reading disquiet gods so when the book drops I’ll be right into it again

Half way through book one and I’m hooked! Can’t wait to read the rest.
I just bought the first 5 books in paperback. I’ve been very excited to finally get into your series!
You're a prodigy. Howling Dark ordered ✅️
I have faith in you Christopher , you never dissappointed me so far, i'm absolutely sure you will stick the landing and the last book will be the literal masterpiece, unmatched by anything written in 21 century so far.

Just wanted to say thank you for the effort and quality put into the EoS Diamond Edition. It took a while but it is perfect.
Thanks man. We've got a lot of the kinks worked out (namely, we have a stock of paper saved with our name on it), so we'll get moving here soon!
So soon!? YEAAAAAAAAAA BOI!
Watching my Diamond Edition go through UPS and hopefully soon get on a flight to Europe and arrive here- the wait is almost over! Can't wait! :)
Great news about book 7,as soon as I have a release date,I can plan a reread of the series.
I am broke broke at the moment, but I still just ordered your first book because this series sounds incredible. Thank you for doing what you do, brother. Literature brings me great joy.
Man, well thank you--but make sure you're taking care of yourself. I hope things turn around for you soon, and that you feel the book was a worthy investment.
Caught up again on everything I have in hand now that your fantasy stories are under my belt. Looking forward to the Guns of Pharos!
So glad to see you going to DS Nexus!
Can’t wait for The Murdered Sun and Howling Dark Diamond Edition! I saved up for both of them.
I am very excited for those books as well.
Thank you sir!

It's not the end of the universe. Never was!
Awesome

I have received my Broken Binding copies. They are excellent.
Would love to see you in south Florida !
Would love to be there!
Hope you’re able to come to NY next year! 🤓
It was great meeting you in New Hampshire! Thanks for signing all my books!
Just received my broken binding edition while finishing book 6. Just perfect.
I look forward to the last book.
Greetings from France.
I really hope you included more of The Well in the last book. If not in the new book maybe a novella. For some reason I found it fascinating. I just started Overruled too. The first story is pretty funny!
Btw did you have Sun Eater kinda mapped out before writing it or did you just start from nothing? Either way cranking out a book a year with that much content is insane, you're a machine!
It was roughly mapped out, but a lot was found along the way. I plan one book at a time, and have had a vague cloud about the books beyond that.
I like how you just casually mention that Kharn is in book 6, but I was just about to start book 6 😂
Yeah, whoops. It's uh...hard to talk about anything anymore.
@ makes me more excited to get into it, I’ve been wondering if we’d see him again. One of my favorite characters!
@@sincerelygideon Well phew!
Nice. Book 6 was practically a religious experience for me and I hope for the same from the ending of the series.
The diamond edition looks fantastic. Congrats and good luck on the homestretch for Book 7!

AHHHHHH!!!! NORFOLK/VB!!! I WILL BE THERE!! 🥳🥳🥳 Will there be a book signing?
Christopher I got to know was that a Neuromancer reference when they first get to Padmurak in the chapter Paradise? Kingdoms of Death is so far is just amazing.
Of course it was, haha.
@@SunEaterBooks Awesome man, I just finished KoD this morning, thank you for this story I know you probably get that a lot but seriously, thank you. Please never stop the references I love them.
I like a good 400k book. Especially on an ultimate of the series. Regardless, I'm ready to eat up book 7!
See u at Dragonsteel!

6 on each foot.

Please don't rush book 7!!!
Will there be another printing of Kingdoms of Death hardcover?
I am wondering the same thing
Yes. Next year. DAW is reprinting 4-6 in hardcover before the launch of book 7. They're just spacing them out.

@SunEaterBooks what can I say, I had to try at least 😆
Still bummed about missing the EoS diamond edition. Hope to at least get book 4-6 and novellas in hardcovers. :)
The reprints of 4-6 are coming! And it will, hopefully, be possible to reprint the Diamond in the future.
@SunEaterBooks Yes! So happy to hear that
Hi Cheistopher, ive been out of the loop for a while and now youre at the 7th book wow. After writing and finiahing this book, what are you going to write about? High fantasy or something more tame
It's not 100% decided, but it won't be tame.
Are books 4-6 hardcovers going into second printings soon??
Next year.
I like how I totally signed up for the Anderida email list for The Murdered Sun but never received a notice that when it became available.
Per their page for the book, "Regarding the remaining 150 copies, those are now reserved." Sadness.
PS put your Patreon link in video descriptions!
Its not out yet so if someone who bought the short story 3 pack doesnt want murdered sun, their copy will become available
As others said it is not out yet, most copies are offered to those who bought the novellas/short stories already (like 3/4ths) and the rest went to some on the preorder list with more slots opening once released as people do not convert on their preorders. I am hoping we get a wider release even though this book is not canon or a second print of the fine copies (similar to the novellas reprints recently done).
@Jackknight28 I know. I'm saying the 150 reserve copies are already spoken for. I should have gotten an email about those 150, but I didn't.
@@1klakak I'm sorry about that, but I would reach out to Rob and see what the situation there is. There may be something he can do. He's usually pretty good about sorting things out.
Sorry if this is a repeat question, but do you know when there will be another print of the original hardcovers books 4-6?
Next year!
Are Hadrian and Syriani's relationship based on the idea of quantum entanglement?
Nope!
KEEP IT LONG. DON’T MAKE IT SHORT(ER)!
It will be as long as it needs to be!
For those of us that purchase The Murdered Sun from Anderida, can we also get it as an ebook? (I like to collect hardcovers and support authors, but prefer reading on my kindle)
I don't honestly know if that's something they can do. I can ask.
Can people buy Howling Dark Diamond edition without having bought Empire of Silence? Or are there rights involved? Book 7 is gonna be amazing than you Mr. Ruocchio!
There are rights involved. EOS-buyers have a month to collect. Anyone who doesn't loses their rights after than month is over.
