You'll notice there are two editions of The Foundry Listed here. The first edition is where the reader reviews are posted. Sigh. The second edition is the one available for purchase.

Why did we release a second edition? At 180,000 words the first edition was a bit thick making the print copy expensive. The second edition, at 164,000 words, saved the reader 24% on the printed version. No meat was cut. You can always find fluff in 180,000 words! Additionally, the cover art was updated to the motif developed for The Matriarch. Lastly, it gave me a chance to change one scene that readers wanted more from, and that was in chapter 5, onboard the Wind March where Prince Fire Eye was prepared to leap to the pirate ship. In the second addition he does, and from there, well, it is a pirate's regret.
