The Orb of Cairado by Katherine Addison, a novella in the world of The Chronicles of Osreth, to release 31 January 2025!

Summary:

Set in the world of Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Award nominee The Goblin Emperor, The Orb of Cairado offers an unlikely hero in historian Ulcetha Zhorvena.

Five years ago, Ulcetha was studying at the University of Cairado, working his way toward becoming a scholar first-class in the Department of History. Then a prize artifact disappeared and Ulcetha, deftly framed, was kicked out. Now he works for a crooked importer, using his knowledge of elven history to write provenances for the fake artifacts Salathgarad sells.

When the airship Wisdom of Choharo explodes, killing the emperor and three of his four sons, it takes with it Ulcetha’s best friend, Mara Lilana. But Mara leaves behind a puzzle—the one thing Ulcetha can’t resist. And the puzzle leads Ulcetha back to the Department of History…and maybe the chance to clear his name.

This is a standalone novella. I contacted the publisher, and they said it will be sold as an ebook as well (at least in the US and Canada), but didn't say when.

The conclusion of The Cemeteries of Amalo trilogy, The Tomb of Dragons, releases 11 March 2025!

The preview for Season 2, Episode 108 of ENNEAD by Mojito is up in Korean!

Ways to read the Korean raws

If you'd like more episode previews, Witchcomics, one of the official Korean publishers, typically puts out episode previews on their twitter within around 24-48 hours prior to new episode releases. Often it's actually closer to release, within a few hours.

Season 2, Episode 108 should be up in Korean on 19 November 2024, around 22:00 KST!

Mojito has announced that ENNEAD in Korean will go on hiatus after the release of Season 2, Episode 108 until it returns on 20 December 2024 with Season 2, Episode 109. As all translations are behind the Korean, they will likely keep going until they hit Season 2, Episode 108, and then take a break to mimic the Korean, as has happened in the past.

There are differences between the uncensored and censored versions of Season 2, Episode 107 and 108 if you want to see everything!

The English translation of ENNEAD is 8 episodes behind the Korean. Season 2, Episode 100 should be up on 20 November 2024, around 00:00 ET (mature/uncensored version and censored version)! Here's a guide for using Tappytoon and unlocking episodes for free! Season 2, Episode 101 should be up on 30 November 2024, around 00:00 ET! For some reason there will apparently be a double update, so Season 2, Episode 102 should also be up in English on 30 November 2024!

Other stuff in the fandom recently:

The Tomb of Dragons by Katherine Addison to release on 11 March 2025

The end of Sarah Monette/Katherine Addison's The Cemeteries of Amalo trilogy, a spin-off of The Goblin Emperor (together known as The Chronicles of Osreth) has been listed as releasing on 11 March 2025, with cover art by Sachin Teng, design by Esther Kim, and there's now a summary:

"Thara Celehar has lost his ability to speak with the dead. When that title of Witness for the Dead is gone, what defines him?

While his title may be gone, his duties are not. Celehar contends with a municipal cemetery with fifty years of secrets, the damage of a revethavar he’s terrified to remember, and a group of miners who are more than willing to trade Celehar’s life for a chance at what they feel they’re owed.

Celehar does not have to face these impossible tasks alone. Joining him are his mentee Velhiro Tomasaran, still finding her footing with the investigative nature of their job; Iäna Pel-Thenhior, his beloved opera director friend and avid supporter; and the valiant guard captain Hanu Olgarezh.

Amidst the backdrop of a murder and a brewing political uprising, Celehar must seek justice for those who cannot find it themselves under a tense political system. The repercussions of his quest are never as simple they seem, and Celehar’s own life and happiness hang in the balance."

내가 키운 S급들 | The S-Classes that I Raised Korean physical novel pre-order for release 26 December 2024

A post shared by JAYPLEMEDIA (@jayplemedia)

A 5-volume physical release of the novel (not the manhwa adaptation) for 내가 키운 S급들 | The S-Classes that I Raised has been announced! It is currently up for order and will be available in December!

Store link (more in the Instagram post; JPLEMEDIA is the publisher for the series)

Twitter link

Onlyraii's post on it, as they drew art for the release (Onlyraii drew the current novel art used for the single chapter release)

A preview of the goods (twitter):

Geunseo also helped to compose a song for this (Track 11).

Unlike the previously unsuccessful crowdfunding physical release, this seems to just be on sale.

The series is 35 volumes in ebooks, so I'm not sure if this is a reformatted version or it's just the first 5 volumes, with more to come. I would imagine it's the latter. All the (current) ebooks in Korean are available on multiple sites, including Ridibooks. More info on the series here.

"Nimona" 10th Anniversary edition available 05/2025

"The genre-defining graphic novel from ND Stevenson celebrates its 10th anniversary with a special edition, featuring dazzling special effects and bonus content.

Nimona is an impulsive young shape-shifter with a knack for villainy. Lord Ballister Blackheart is a villain with a vendetta. As sidekick and supervillain, Nimona and Lord Blackheart are about to wreak some serious havoc. Their mission: Prove to the kingdom that Sir Ambrosius Goldenloin and his buddies at the Institution of Law Enforcement and Heroics aren’t the heroes everyone thinks they are.

But as small acts of mischief escalate into a vicious battle, Lord Blackheart realizes that Nimona’s powers are as murky and mysterious as her past. And her unpredictable wild side might be more dangerous than he is willing to admit.

Nemeses! Dragons! Science! Symbolism! After a decade, everyone's favorite shapeshifter continues to capture hearts.

Nimona has taken many forms: a beloved and critically acclaimed web comic, a staple in comic bookshelves everywhere, and an award-winning Netflix film. This celebratory edition includes a letter from the author and behind-the-scenes art."

(The links are kind of weirdly functional at the moment, but if you go to your book store of choice and search for it, it should come up for pre-order)

Ize updated the English translation of the novel preview "cover" on certain storefronts online (versus the default temporary covers most sites use for novels that have no official cover yet). This isn't an official cover, it's just different than the regular default that was there. It's just using the font for the title that they use for their release of the manhwa. So probably it'll be the same font? We'll see.

They're also releasing it as an audiobook on the same day!
