Huh I thought Erin story would continue. I really think with the current release rate we should reduce random pov

Alice

Yay! Something to read while I wait to see if kids notice my porch light is on! twi + milk tea + homeownership = true

Matthias Ateo

finally I am caught up and now I can enjoy a chapter fresh off the press for the first time ever! I am so hyped.

Pirate, tftc. Around May of last year I finally gave The Wandering Inn a listen. Didn't think I would like it - too different. Hard to invest in a protagonist like Erin Solstice. Gotta say I was wrong. I binged the audio books and then dove into the online volumes. I love the world you've built. I love the deep and nuanced characters, and how you've done it without the cynicism and heaviness of a series like GoT. Hope you, or at least your nom de plume, is one day widely recognized for such a significant contribution to literature. So I'm writing this note to say Thank You, but one more thing also. I'm going to dive into the mud here, but I think you're leaving a lot of money on the table. On your Patreon you only charge for the latest chapter one week out or something. You should really consider putting up that paywall directly after the last period in the latest audiobook. I'll bet less than 10% of your readers, fans, and followers are in volume 10, maybe 5%? Just saying, for the price of one venti caramel frappe per month I'll bet most would be happy to support your work. And you work really hard. You have more than earned it. That's it. Thanks for everything. Love your work.

Fun to see the Goblins entrench themselves further in the New Izril. It seems like Rags’ master plan is working.

A good chapter for Halloween! Silly Rianchi

I laughed out loud several times through this chapter! Yay for V sticking up for the vampires! And poor Racini. He was fantastic!!!! Such a great chapter :-). Thank you!

It is a great feeling finally getting caught up. The anticipation of the releases are sweet. When I caught i up I started the reread. I found it very rewarding and picked up a frankly absurd amount of foreshadowing. It led to a much deeper understanding of the lore. Either way congratulations!!! It is a wonderful saga.

Stuart Matthews

Absolutely wonderful chapter. My favorite chapters are the ones with the "side" characters. The allure of The Wandering Inn has always been to me the side characters. Watching how they interact with this complex world Pirateaba has created as natives to the world has always been special. They have such an incredible ability to create characters that can be connected to. If the new release schedule has a dedicated week set aside to special projects and this chapter is in anyway representative of those special projects I say continue on. I think it is a smashing success.

Matthias Ateo

Ohh, yeah that sounds like a plan actually! It was bittersweet because I spent so long reading it... what were ur fav moments?

Stuart Matthews

*spoilers* Erin learning the flames of mercy, Rags learning to be chieftain, Norman riding off to die (to be burned), Laken working with the witches, the Redscar chapters with the palace of the fates are one of my favorite of all time, and Pisces journey from small time boogeyman to where he is now. They are all moments that stand out to me now, but the beauty of the series is tomorrow I could probably think of six different ones. What were your highlights?

James

Absolutely wonderful chapter :)

Nah I’m cool with this maybe after 10 chapters I would be upset

Maybe you missed the author note Pirateaba left? "This chapter has a funny story behind it. It was written as Interlude — Couriers…last year. I apparently wrote it almost exactly a year ago and never finished it because I was so busy." So it didn't really take away from anything. Anyway… I think looking at it that way isn't really great to begin with. The story is "The Wandering Inn", not "Erin Solstice's Wrong Turn At Albuquerque". The other PoVs are integral to telling the wider story, to setting the shape and feeling the texture and spreading ripples. And I say this as a woman who is suuuper invested in a lot of aspects of everything going on with Erin at the moment, other than just in general lol. But I can be patient! Really, I can! All respect for the slow burn… and maybe too much relatability to the "missing the thirty foot sign post". That and… sometimes things feel safer unresolved, when so many brutal turns are just a corner away. But this was great, and now I'm super curious about Rianchi leveling and/or re-classing from it!

Mike

OMG great chappy! I love the Rianchi & Flighti chapters more than the main story these days!! Well maybe not more than the Horns & Baleros arc chapters but more than all the rest….. well maybe the new lands arc too… damn I just love them all.

Shipen Shambiot

With that line of reasoning you can argue the title sells itself as "Erin and her Inn finding it's place in the new world" and not "the new world at large with the occasional Erin with a jackhammer" just as well. I just don't think most people expected our protagonists to become a minority POV along with all other POVs.

I am catching up on all the episodes since last year, as I binge read all the chapters once a year for Christmas. Currently reading 10.58 on antinium in khelt. I can tell you do a lot of research to and wanted to throw an extra bit of science on insects your way that I found fascinating. BBC Crowdscience podcast October 23, 2026 "How do insect hear?" (28 minutes) Spoiler: Apparently their ears on not in their head.

Robert Sheehan

I’m with you on this. We’re almost 3 years into volume 10, I’d really like to see some actual plot progression and story payoff soon.

Congratulations, welcome to the waiting game. When Pirateaba says she is taking a month long break, it now affects you deeply. Catch up on the comic or the physical books, ive been rereading them as they come out and their are a few changes from what I remember. Their is also the singer series
