I'm definitely going to pre-order and buy a copy of this book because I've been waiting for the author to write a book from my favorite character's POV in first person for years now so I'm really hyped for this and I'm far from the only one because this is a fanf-favorite character (I don't mind borrowing the other books in this collection from public library but I want a copy if this one specific book on my personal bookshelf, it be will be released on November 7 2023):
