Andreas Karpf answered Nicholas Uribe's question: Hi, are there still plans to release book 3? I know you said it would be out in spring of 2024, but now it is going on 2026. Thank you for asking - Book three is complete! We are in pre-production. I will make an announcement in the next few days once the release date is set (late February or early March).
