Hey, they shouldn't differ too much at all aside from corrections. It also depends on which version you've got as there have been some updated versions released over the years :)

Hey Katherine! It sometimes can be, mostly when it comes to character traits such as physical traits. I have a document which I use that keeps track for me.

Hey Cillian! They're not hugely important as the journeys are described and not necessary to follow via the maps. Or, you can also find them all at my site www.bengalley.com 👍

It's coming out from Audible this year!

Hey Jim! There will be 3 altogether
Ben Galley
Thank you! Great to hear that. I've got a long list of authors to drag into the Author Lounge, and Mike and Alec are definitely on the list. They're great people and awesome authors. Thanks for watching and stay tuned :)

Thanks for your question! It depends based on the reading age. They're for adults and teens, and I normally say 13/14 up, especially if they've read other epic and dark fantasy books. The sex/nudity level is nil in all of my books apart from two very brief scenes in The Written and Pale Kings, Emaneska Series Books 1 and 2. These are essential to the story, and far, far from erotica :)
Ben Galley
Thanks for your question. I wrote 3 before starting The Written, my debut.
Ben Galley
Hi Peter! Thanks very much. I have 3 planned: The Forever King, Heavy Lies The Crown, and To Kill a God.
Ben Galley
Thank you! It's actually something I'd like to create myself. I'm involved in a 5E adaptation at the moment and can't wait to do it for Emaneska.
Ben Galley
Yes indeed! It's something I working on at the moment. I hope to have the full Emaneska Series out this year.
Ben Galley
Hi Paul! Great to hear it and thanks for reading. No Fairytale is set over a decade after the Emaneska Series, and is set between Dead Stars and the new Scalussen Chronicles.
Ben Galley
It is! LErel :)
Ben Galley
Well, there's a short story Shards out now, which is a prequel story, but The Heart of Stone sits as a standalone, with no sequel novels planned! Thanks again for the great review.

Children should be seen and not heard they say, yet no matter how much I shouted, or threw papers across the room, or how many times I hid their precious things, I was never seen, and never heard. They saw me only as a grave, and yet here I was: a wisp bound to their every move.
Ben Galley
Thanks for the question, Kelley. The answer to that would be my Scarlet Star books. Lilain is one of the main characters and is as capable as they come. She's an undertaker out on the frontiers of Wyoming and the aunt of the main character Merion. Hope that helps.
Ben Galley
Thanks Rochelle! I will be doing a new series called the Scalussen Chronicles, which will be set 20 years after the end of Dead Stars - Part Two. It should be starting late next year.

Hi Barnaby, thanks for your question. I'm proud as hell of all my books, but as my writing style has changed and improved, I've found that I'm not 100% happy with the execution of my earlier books. To that end, I've actually just rewritten and re-edited The Written, my debut book. That's now published and out, and I'll be working on Pale Kings in the next few months as well!
Ben Galley
Bloodfeud, the 3rd book of the Scarlet Star Trilogy!
