Adrian Tchaikovsky also has the Children of Time series in which spiders are the main characters. A very fun read!
Comment on Statistically, probably with the beetles. 🪲

Tangent, there is a fun fantasy book series by Adrian Tchaikovsky where all the main characters are humanoids with bug qualities. So basically spiderman, antman, mantisman, etc. It is entertaining when you mix fantasy tropes (dueling for honour!) with mantis arm spikes…

The Insect-kindens! And it is quite a lengthy series, at that, if anyone is looking for something new to get into (not to mention he actually finishes series, unlike another fantasy writer…)

My first thought was Patrick Rothfuss but I think you are referring to Martin. I’m sure the list is long of unfinished fantasy series, whichever book you are waiting for I hope your year is 2026!

Indeed, I was referring to Martin. I’m not holding my breath, as there are supposed to be 2 more books, but perhaps at least one will appear at some point!

I actually only read the first four. Felt like a natural stopping point there. Pretty cool series though :)
