1) Spoilers!
2) A greater shadow affinity IS a greater light affinity in a very real sense- it could better be described as a light cone affinity. (For a better idea of how that works, I highly recommend Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time.)
3) No specific plan, Alustin was actually all on-board with the whole helping Hugh track down a patron to pact with thing.

Book 5, but yeah, I did! Glad someone caught that reference!
John Bierce
Yes, they definitely can.
But they probably wouldn't, because that's a waste of perfectly good cheese you could be eating.

(view spoiler)[They are! They're both part of the same multiverse, the Aetheriad- you'll find the Radhan wandering around in a lot of worlds!
There are more connections than that, too, if you look closely- and big plans for the future. (hide spoiler)]

Not during the pandemic, but maybe someday!
The tricky bit, of course, is that publishers traditionally organize book tours with the help of bookstores who benefit from them- since I'm indie, and sell very few books through bookstores... it'll be, yeah, tricky. Con appearances, however, are much more likely.

(view spoiler)[Mmmmm... there's not really a straightforward answer. Technologically, definitely medieval levels, but that is in great part because magic has heavily inhibited technological development- spells just work better much of the time, so there's less incentive. But then, on a material science perspective, thanks to affinity senses and magical research, they're roughly equivalent to where we were in the early 1700s when it comes to discovering new elements and materials. Likewise, there are massive variances across the arts and sciences that just make it difficult to answer that question. (hide spoiler)]
