Hey, hey, Toby people, I have a piece of news that you're not going to be thrilled about, and I apologize for that. Please hold your yelling until I say I'm done.
As many of you know, narrator consistency is very important to me. I want the audio books to be as smooth and immersive a "reading" experience as the plain text.
For something like InCryptid or Wayward Children, where we change focus every few books, I'm happy to switch up who reads the story, but for Toby, @MaryRobinette IS the voice of the story.
@MaryRobinette But recording an audio book takes dedicated studio time, and narrator availability.
@MaryRobinette Unfortunately, Mary Robinette is not available to us until September. In order to not upset people FOREVER when one book suddenly doesn't sound like the others, we're going to have to upset people temporarily by delaying the audio release.
@MaryRobinette I'm sorry. We wouldn't do this if there were any other way. But THE UNKINDEST TIDE will not have a simultaneous print and audio release, because we want to wait for our narrator.
@MaryRobinette Thank you for understanding.
