Sorry it took so long. It's 317,000 words. Big book. As my editor is having some family issues and my copy editor is on vacation, I'm going ahead and releasing the Beta. There shouldn't be very many errors, however. I will release the final version, with any minor edits, on August 1. Thanks for reading! And NO SPOILERS ON THIS THREAD!
Ah, I see. It seems you made some corrections to a section of the first chapter (or the chapter entire) and pasted in the new version, and the old version ended up sticking around.
There is a lot of similar copy-paste / repeat between Chapter 9 and Chapter 12.
In beginning of Chapter 9 we hear about how the Duke is delivering justice, collecting fines, and then clearing his backlog. This repeats near the end of Chapter 12.
Similarly Pentandra delivers a report toward the end of Ch12 about the effectiveness of the Woodman against the Rats. This exact same report was previously delivered in Chapter 9.
So basically Chapter 12 appears to be the exact same events as Chapter 9, but worded differently. Some details are different, added, and removed, but for the most part it was like reading two different versions of the same chapter.
also, forvie me for doing to piecemtal, but i am doing this as i write the topic of investing magelords also comes up at least twice, which seems strange
This says "Book Nine of the Spellmonger Series". Which was #8? Wasn't Enchanter (#7) the last one? Please tell me I haven't been waiting all this time and missed one!
I know, I just fixed it in the update I just posted. Sorry for the typo - this is Book 8, not Book 9. It should be up shortly. Shall I push the corrections out to everyone?
<3 Finally, I am so happy :)

actually chapter 13 seems to be doubled as well
DeleteChecking it out. Thanks for the note. That's what you get when you dramatically re-structure a framing device.
