They just licensed those two novels, so they haven't even been translated. We might see one by year's end I suppose.

TP took a large negative PR hit because after licensing the first six novels, the story told was incomplete since the first story covers the first eight novels. So now that TP is out trying to push other novels like Scrapped Princess, I've no doubt that they've run into the fact that fans don't want to take the risk of starting to buy the novels, only to find that TP's license won't complete the series.

Now because I want to finish the first story, I'll be purchasing the novels (my complaints about certain translation choices aside), but I don't trust TP when it comes to novels at this point.
