This has been long-requested and too long delayed. Many readers have wanted an omnibus version of the audiobooks, since it would offer more listening for one credit, but I didn't feel like I should put too much time into this until the fourth audiobook was on the horizon. Well, you can look forward to that soon, and the omnibus is out now!
Well... this weekend was supposed to be a big important audiobook release, but Audible has finally screwed me over and not released. -_- So it'll just happen randomly next week, probably? I apologize for the delay in chapters, but I already had this post set up and I really want to get everyone's opinion.
Last time Patreon ate some of my spaces for unknown reasons. This time I tried something different when adding the chapters, did it still happen? You tell me.
I am working hard on the omnibus TWC book, and there's a lot in the air, but this week you still get chapters. I'm glad we're getting this book started. ^-^

Alright, with Siata this set of Nine Worlds Anatomy is complete! I hope that you have enjoyed seeing all the species drawn out, as well as hinting at various processes and regions to come.
There's too much in the pipeline, I want to release it all, but I think you'll be getting chapters next week.

More anatomy pages! By my count we are at eight out of nine. I hope everyone has enjoyed this set. ^-^

I've been eagerly awaiting getting to this one! When designing Slest, I put a lot of thought into the balance I wanted to strike between strange and familiar. Even though Slest has mostly been used as a dangerous wilderness, it has very important roles to play in the broader story of the entire series, so I hope people enjoy it.
