regional barriers on digital files rarely works out in the long run.


Note:
when 'thul write in all italics, it is the lord of the three realms within 'thul speaking. A fairly egoistical, but also somewhat simple-minded dragon. Do not take such posts at face value.

There's always the option of 'Farseer's Reading Time' via Skype or the Facebook/Sype tab! Big Grin

I've spent *hours* on there with a cousin from New Zealand and the quality has amazed me.

Not the story... The distance and understanding between the narrator and the occorrences.

[+]Spoiler
I know it is just a scroll, that the reader can find hidden somewhere, and we were supposed to find out things, and okay, a crow, it was clever thing from him to make sigil of the spotted animals, then having a black soulmate, but I wanted to enjoy the story with more spices.

Felicity did nothing except one time when she made up her lie. She saw nothing. I missed the conversation between Charger and anybody. But she was somehow colorless and slow-minded. That is not out of her character but somehow I expected a better point of view from a narrator character. (She was close but not close enough).

I missed the feelings. "He told her something we don't know what" - I want to know his words, but we can't know and the book is full of this we-can't-know thing - that's why I don't like this book. But I know I would love this story if it were written more like the first trilogy.

Why did I have to pay a gazillion bucks for something that was supposed to be exclusive but is released in a normal version shortly afterwards? Okay, I have an autograph, but it was supposed to be limited.

* joost is a bit miffed.....

I can see why you feel like that joost. Compared to the previous Subterranen Press special edition releases, this was a bit of a "huh?"
I got both the US (regular) and the UK editions because I'm stupid like that. I couldn't resist the beautiful Jackie Morris illustrations within the UK one...

Talking of which, there's going to be a UK paperback edition of TWP&TPP released in November this year. I'm wondering if it's going to have any of them besides the cover.
