The Sequel to Galaphile
Just sharing that Delilah S. Dawson is deep into writing it. Terry has read it as it has been written, occasionally making some tweaks. He's really happy with how the story is shaping up. No word when the book's first draft will be complete or when the book will publish.

Not my news to share, I'm afraid. I'm sure they will talk a lot about it when the book is about to publish.

My hope is that "fans" like yourself wake up and see that the only shit here are opinions like that.

My hope is that this male Redditor doesn't inject bullshit into this thread...
Oh, too late.

What woke stuff? I think if you tried to tell some of the women in these books that they can't do what they want they'd walk over your unconscious body or corpse and do it anyways. Obviously there are bad guys, but generally the non evil people treat people with respect and kindness. They're not kicking people out because they're not from there. When the bad guys show up everyone shows up to fight them, irregardless of what they are.

If a white man took over writing and I said "My hope is this cis white male doesn't inject a bunch of racist and sexist shit into this book series" you would think I'm insane right? Or just stupid? You might think that I'm an activist BLM or some sort of Sjw feminist.
That's what you sound like. Like a crazy person.

Terry is what you'd call "woke," and he's written "woke" into every story he's told. I have no doubt Delilah S. Dawson will follow in those same footsteps.

Shawn thank you so much for the update! To me this pre-first king era is what I have been waiting to get filled in for a long time. I think Delilah will do great but at the same time happy Terry is around to guide and give his input! Having the creator around is a huge resource for her I would imagine. Can't wait to see how it all turns out (hopefully those missing elfstone sets pop up at some point).
But I do have to address the other elephant in the room and that is most of us truly thought it would be you taking it over. You clearly know the material and are an accomplished author. We appreciate all your web druid accomplishments over the years and contributions to the Shannara community.
