Ditto. Trying to get some momentum going on Name of the Wind though. There always seems to be something more pressing to read.Quote:

This has led to Malazan fans demanding bookshelf continuity ordering the British paperbacks from Canada to keep things the same.
What's even odder is that Bantam haven't yet switched the rest of the series over, so if you're buying the series new in the UK, Books 1-7 are still in A-class and 8-9 (and presumably 10 in a couple of months) are in B-class, causing much confusion.
I did notice that, Adam. Well, as much as one can notice it in Waterstone's when they have about three of them :p
Harper Voyager did it with the reissue of ASoIaF, I think. The tie-in edition of AGoT is B format, I think the rest are A.
Really? I'm only halfway through the first book and it already seems like he has something in store for Thalric besides being a generic bad guy. It's fairly obvious he is having second thoughts about the empire.Quote:

Well, apparently Shadows of the Apt would take that path a book earlier - the seventh book in the series is going to be released as B-format. As are the new editions of the first 6 books with the new cover art.Quote:

For the time being it doesn't look as if Pyr is continuing the series.Quote:

I've been getting them directly from BD. It's a series that I'm just not going to wait around for, plus I already have the first 6 in the Tor covers, so....
I have ordered the first six books of this series from Book Depository. I want to order HEIRS OF THE BLADE from BD, but, at the moment, the book is unavailable.:( Does anyone know the reason it is unavailable there, but the book is available through Amazon.co.uk.
I live in the United States, and I really do not want to order from Amazon.co.uk because I would also have to pay for shipping.:mad:
There's something more, I don't know epic and sweeping, about Dragonfly Falling than I felt was present in Empire in Black and Gold. Even though I'm only reading in rather short clips, Tchaikovsky is maintaining that grand, sweeping feel to the story.
So, i am now reading Dragonfly falling... and i must say, Totho is breaking my heart.
does anyone wonder if there are any kinden underground. looking at the other places you could find them [the sea watch], one wonders where the earthworm kinden are.
also, in the cities of the nem, whipspider kinden?
There's the giant Mole Cricket kinden, with their ability tu dissolve stone
they still live on the surface though.Quote:
