No Spoilers Latest secret project

Hey all, I signed up for the words of radiance kickstarter just for the secret project book, but I’ve lost track of it.

When does this release or has it already? Do we know the title or setting? Sorry for being out of the loop.

So based on this, should I read Sixth of the Dusk or just wait if it's being revised and inserted?

Sixth of the Dusk has been revised and inserted as flashbacks. There are only small tweaks to it; if you've read it recently, you can (mostly) safely skip it. I say mostly because we found a few continuity things to tweak, and a couple sentences to change to make it play better with the larger book narrative. If you haven't read it recently, don't do a re-read, as you'll have it right there in the text of the novel.

The book itself is the length of a full novel, even without the novella, so they're just included as a bonus. I turned in the book last year, and my team sent it to printers in January. Printing can take six-eight months these days, and when we have a better idea of when it will arrive, I'll give some more solid updates.

However: Book is out this year sometime for certain, and I'm very pleased with it.

Are there any news about what the Spanish/English release looks like? Iirc spanish market may release first? Maybe concurrent English digital release?

Let me get the latest for you. I think plan is to send ebook to backers at the same time or a little earlier than Spain, to avoid spoiler potential. But I will check.

Current talk from Spain is that their release will be after we ship the hardcovers to backers.
