It’s coming mid-May, and at the same time all the pre-order links and buy buttons will go up.
On the bright side: now that there is a settled publication date, things can start moving! First: the cover reveal. If you’d like to read more about the supply chain issues, I suggest you check this article from The Guardian.ĭespite everything, there’s also some good news: So the new date is completely out of Cassie’s hand and of course she’s just as sad as we are. So yes 2023, but thank goodness, only a few weeks into 2023. So while this is not the news any of us wanted: the new pub date is now settled. I haven’t spoken out about it, because I didn’t know when exactly the new publication date would land, and I wanted to be absolutely sure that when I did announce a date, that date Would. I have to say I cried, because even though it’s no one’s fault - I’ve finished the book my publisher hasn’t done anything wrong or anything to delay it - I was crushed by the idea it might not come out until 2023, even maybe summer 2023. I was told the book might slide three months. This is a really good explanation of what’s facing publishers and printers right now, in case you’re interested. (There are only some printers that print books, almost all of them are overseas, and there’s a huge backlog of books now waiting to be printed.) A while ago I was told by my publisher that the release date on Chain of Thorns might slide back because of limited supplies of paper, and limited availability at printers. Supply chain issues are in the news, and while Chain of Thorns is not at the bottom of the ocean on a container ship. it is suffering from exactly those supply chain issues. You’ve likely been seeing book delays for a while now. I do have answers, and some mixed good/bad news. So for a while now I know you have been patiently waiting for updates and info about Chain of Thorns: specifically, when you’ll get to see the cover, and when the book will be available for pre-order.
Cassie explained this back in July 2021 and in her latest newsletter, which was just sent out to her subscribers, she addresses why Chain of Thorns has a new publication date. Of course it’s disappointing but we’ve known for more than nine months that there have been delays in the publishing world. The release date for Cassandra Clare’s final installment of The Last Hours has sadly been pushed back. Credit: Tony Luong for The New York Times
