I have hope it will thus be finished more or less on schedule (it was due out at the beginning of 2024), and reasonably close to as intended.

I figure his wife can wait ten or twenty years and, when she needs extra cash, can auction off the definitive answer to who killed Asmodean to the highest bidder. Didn't Carly Simon do that with who exactly is so vain, for charity? All the clues we needed by the end of book seven my ass.
