I'm amazed more people haven't commented on the fact this seems to be written as a young adult novel - She is under her real name a YA writer. This novel was marketed as literture not a YA fantasy. I agree 100% that the level of writing is at a YA lvl.

The 2nd book is out Eventine. On release some stores were giving away the first book with it for free. I guess it didn't sell as well as they hoped.

I've seen it around as a hardcover - didn't see any free book promos though.

I loved Across the Nightingale Floor. The culture really interested me. I recently finished the trilogy and have just started Harsh Cry of the Heron. :)
