At the World's Mercy, Volume 1 by Ning Yuan (translated by Ah Yang*):

( I haven't finished this one yet )

I'll have to double check to be certain, but I'm 90% sure changes weren't made from Rosmei's previews of The Creator's Grace and At the World's Mercy and the printed volumes. There's no footnotes in any of the volumes, which surprises me (I'd assumed there'd be at least a couple in At the World's Mercy).

So far the state of official English translations of baihe novels (that are available in print or ebook) seems to be as follows, as of May 2026:

Taiwain Travelogue by Yang Shuang-zi (translated by Lin King): licensed by Greywolf Press, ebook and print released November 2024.

The Beauty's Blade by Feng Ren Zuo Shu (translated by Yu): licensed by Seven Seas, ebook and print released November 2025.

At the World's Mercy by Ning Yuan (translated by Ah Yang, Serena, and Yang Di): licensed by Rosmei, volumes 1 and 2 of 8 (print only) released March 2026.

The Creator's Grace by Ning Yuan (translated by Shigure and Serena): licensed by Rosmei, volume 1 of 4 (print only) released March 2026.

Monogatari Novels seems to have essentially disappeared after releasing some copies of volume 1 of Female General and Eldest Princess in 2025 (iirc only some of the pre-orders that had been previously ordered via their website).

Seven Seas announced a baihe imprint in February 2026, but not any more titles for it yet.

My order from Yiggybean arrived yesterday! imho Yiggybean did a good packing the volumes for shipping.

( thoughts on the physical volumes )

I started volume 1 of The Creator's Grace last night and am about a third of the way though it. I'm liking it so far and am curious to see how the murder mystery will play out.

I so hope Jeannelle M. Ferreira's A Remarkable Rake will be published one day! It and Rose Lerner's The Girl in the Cellar are the historical romances I'm most looking forward to reading!

Any idea how to get non-sideloaded ebook thumbnails to show up on Kindle Fire?

Some of the ones for books I bought on Amazon are suddenly showing blank placeholder images on collection previews (the larger thumbnails that appear when I open a collection folder seem fine). The thumbnails for my sideloaded fanfic show up fine so far.

ETA: the same thumbnails on my phone's kindle app look fine
