AAnother reason to love Jay Kristoff.

[Jay Kristoff News/Updates @misterkristoff]

Hello friends,

Early in 2025, several sharp-eyed readers pointed out to me that the Russian publication of EMPIRE OF THE DAMNED had been censored from its original form. This censorship largely consisted of the redaction of queer content – namely m/m and f/f relationships in the text.

This censorship was performed without my knowledge or consent.

To say that I was livid when I learned of it is an understatement. I understand the political situation in Russia is complex, and precarious for dissidents, and that Vladimir Putin may control a great deal. But I don’t live in Russia, and he does not control me.

As such, I have taken it upon myself to commission Russian translations of the redacted text. This translation was made completely independently of my publisher, AST. All care has been taken to ensure the fidelity of the original manuscript, including restoring all censored queer content.

This uncensored text—along with the images redacted from the book—will now live on my Patreon, under the “Censored Content” tag. These pages will remain perpetually and freely available to any reader who wishes to enjoy them.

I have been left deeply unfulfilled by Sun Eater #7 Shadows Upon Time. Not how I wanted a 7 book saga to end.

[Dale's Fantasy Review @dalewritesstuff]

I'm off on my honeymoon in a week and looking for recent fantasy and sci-fi recommendations that are any of the following - high action, grim dark, coming of age.

Current list is

Shadows Upon Time
The Strength of the Few
Project Hail Mary

Help meeeeeee pleaseee

Peep the @misterkristoff collection.

Managed to get Illustrated EOTD a month early.

Just gotta wait a year or so for the last illustrated copy to complete the collection.

[Dale's Fantasy Review @dalewritesstuff]

Only went and heavily fanboyed over over the wonderful Mr @JohnGwynne_ and Mr @misterkristoff

butterflies, legs shaking, dry mouth.

Maybe one day this won't happen.

[Dale's Fantasy Review @dalewritesstuff]

Fuckkkkkkkkkk Yesssssssss

@misterkristoff @JohnGwynne_

[Dale's Fantasy Review @dalewritesstuff]

@binding_broken This looks like AI??

[Dale's Fantasy Review @dalewritesstuff]

I may not be around that much anymore but I do still have the best bookshelf around.

[Dale's Fantasy Review @dalewritesstuff]

CR: Empire of the Dawn by @misterkristoff

Guess who got his copy 2 days early....

I'm nervous.

[Dale's Fantasy Review @dalewritesstuff]

@dkmbookworm I fully get your point but 15 year gap between books isn't a palette cleanser or a break.

I won't support how people act towards him, or authors like rothfuss, but I don't agree with either. Stop pretending it's coming. The series is dead, same with King killer.

[Dale's Fantasy Review @dalewritesstuff]

@misterkristoff @illumicrate I'm devastated, I missed this and won't be able to finish my collection.

[Dale's Fantasy Review @dalewritesstuff]

@RCahillAuthor How does a man get one of these arcs floating around, the idea of missing a physical book of yours gives me small amounts of stress.

Think of the kids.

Why the hell are you cutting away from touchdown plays for awful little mini games? Just cover the damn game?

[Dale's Fantasy Review @dalewritesstuff]

@Glenn_sccc @TheBritLad The only people I've seen banning books are the republicans?

[Dale's Fantasy Review @dalewritesstuff]

@Glenn_sccc @TheBritLad You have the second amendment because guns are necessary to stop people ripping down flags?

Wow.

[Dale's Fantasy Review @dalewritesstuff]

@laurareadsstuff Good shit!!! Well done Laura :)))

[Dale's Fantasy Review @dalewritesstuff]

Dear fucking god.

Two of my favourite authors in one room. No shit I'm going. Tickets booked.

Can't wait to meet both @misterkristoff and @JohnGwynne_

[Dale's Fantasy Review @dalewritesstuff]

@tbbpublishing @RCahillAuthor Tarmon, may he always be there to watch Calens back.
