Kim and Xiaoling are kind of the babies!

Okay, that's all the Secrets to be revealed for now. Back to work, me...

Ahhhhh the feeling of having been the same age as Kim when I first came across dresdencodak.com 👴

I am greatly intrigued seeing that Ling is also classified as an Exode. Did I miss something? Isn't she 60% human? Or how does Exode work, exactly?

Well, without getting into spoilery territory, this book will be officially coming out after the next few DS pages go up... BUT before anyone gets any wild ideas, the in-universe definition of "exode" isn't agreed upon. As is indicated in the one-off "cyborg time with Kim Ross," Kim doesn't really agree with the standard definition the Dept. of Inquisition uses. In her view, what makes her unique isn't the arbitrary number of prostheses, it's the actual approach to cybernetics where the distinction lies.

Oh, to be clear, the textbook definition of "exode," ie: "extropic mezzode" is a "synthetically sustained transhuman lifeform," and the DoI sees any hypothetical "full body cyborg" be an exode. But Kim interprets it more as a "living cyborg" who consciously is in a perpetual state of transition.

balthazar looks like shit for being only 30 (maybe evil is bad for your skin?)

The real question is how old is mr head in a bot

I hope Stolas gets drop-kicked into orbit at some point, he is the worst even when balthazar is differently the worst and sirius was thirdly the worst.

Interesting, thanks on the clarifications!
