excitedI will make ten blog posts detailing aspects of Toby's universe. Ask me anything! I will not answer every question, but will select the questions that I think are the most interesting/fun/relevant, and will detail them to my heart's content. There's a lot to learn and know, and asking loses you nothing. Remember that nothing I answer here is full canon until it appears in a book: I will always reserve the right to change things if the series shifts between now and then.
Leave your questions on this post. I'm declaring comment-reply amnesty for any that I choose not to answer this time, since otherwise, my wee head may explode.
Game on!

Are all the fae races we've seen native to the summerlands, or were they forced to move to the summerlands when their homelands disappeared? Like, were trolls originally from the winterlands or whatever? And if so, is there an elemental association with the native land (i.e. summer=land, winter=water, etc)?

Also, there has never been mention of a "Winterlands" or anything of the sort. There are no other seasonal lands in this cosmology.

I've only just recently finished One Salt Sea, so I'm pretty behind. I've tried to focus my personal reading time this year on catching up/finishing series that I've already started, or on stand-alone works. It hasn't been easy, especially since I have the first books of several series on my to-read shelves/pile, and the list just keeps getting longer. Hell, I have books I bought several years ago that I still haven't read. So they just sit there on my shelves, taunting me.
Honestly, if the whole publishing industry could go on hold for about a year, that would really help me get my to-read list down to a manageable size.
And I just assumed that the lost lands were the other three seasons - it makes as much sense as anything else.
