Fantasy Book Club Series discussion

I just ordered it and it's free delivery and is giving a 10/27 release date! I'm trusting they'll send me the UK one as the US one has been delayed until January of 2012! Which really really sucks because it's after Christmas.

Where did you preorder it? I haven't seen a date show up on Amazon yet? (But then I haven't looked this morning either.)

At the Book Depository.com. There's free shipping world wide. Sorry I shouldve said!

Have to look into that. I've never actually been to that web site. Do you know why the delay for the publication in the US?

Hmm, they have paperback and hardback editions. What to choose. I probably should get the paperback to go with the rest of my books.

Janny, is this book going to have the same look as the newer styles like this: or a full picture like your earlier works like this ?

Amelia - it will be the graphic style of the other, newer releases, not the portrait style - and the paperback release is likely a trade paperback, this round. I don't know yet when they plan the mass market.

It could be I will one day paint the portrait style image so collectors of the US editions can make their hardbacks match - I'd do it (like a jacket) as a print to wrap the books.

Hey thanks Janny for answering my question. All of my others are MMP, but I do like trade paperbacks better.

That would be neat if you did the artwork sometime, even though that might mean that I'd have to scrounge up some hardbacks to go with the covers. Your artwork really is beautiful. Since I'm late reading your work, I have the covers with the graphic style.

I ordered the HC as I have all the others in that format. I'll skip the paperback and wait for the ebook.

Certainly, that could be done - it's just a photoshop job. Though far as I know, the old hardbacks are not that hard to find, yet.

Well then, maybe I should get them sooner rather than later. I could always give my current one to someone who would enjoy your series too.

The first chapter is posted at Paravia.com if you're dying to read the new book!

Shall we contest who can get it and review it 1st :-?

But then, there are always those who get advanced copies and get a review up befor the release date.

Initiate's Trial already has 5 ratings. No reviews yet.

Sure! Already read the first chapter!

I pre-ordered mine a couple of weeks ago. As soon as I have it in my hands, I may need intravenous feeding because I won't eat or sleep until I finish it. :)

LOL!

Pre-ordering complete--glad this thread got bumped (and that I finally got back to checking Goodreads threads, which I haven't been doing lately). Of course I'm looking forward to this!

Ok, I gave up on Amazon ever showing a date for this. I just ordered it from BookDepository.

Well they're showing the hardcover for Oct. 27, but who knows? But it appears Amazon is the only one with an eversion available at this time. Pooh. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Kobo or BN or someone to have it in epub version later on. That way I don't have to mess up my pretty hardcover actually reading it! :)

I didn't see that. Maybe I was always looking at the PB.

I just got an email from The Book Depository that my book is in and on its way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


WOOT! WOOT!

Me too! Can't wait!

The Book Depository must of ran out of the hardback version after all those pre-orders. I ordered one on the 9th Nov and they only shipped it yesterday, they must have needed to get new stock in.
