Pre-release City of Dragons (spoilers Farseer, LST, TM and RWC)

[finella]

Heartless, no. Pitiless, yes.

Pity serves no purpose except for belittling the insignificant.

Arrrgh - These beings and their prudent talk
I want my book back

@farseer: well, better late than never. Very kind of you, farseeer

['thul]

Are you humans not pleased that you are not belittled through pity?

[finella]

Ha! O.k., you pittyless folk - I don't need your sympathy, I don't need your pity . I have it too !

I forgot - Did you already have it, Thul? If not, you have my sencere sympathy, Not my pity though

It it as beautiful as I remember it . And I'm still wondering why it's the UK edition. Nevertheless, it now valorizes my bookshell and I will try to wait with reading until the fourth book is also published. So, no spoilers, no hypertension, no worries about all my favorites until next year. Instead of that I will go on with my re-reads of LST, Tawny Man, and ASOIAF. And in spring 2013 I will re-read DK, DH and carry on with CoD and last but not least BoD. We'll see, if I can keep up with that.

These beings would like their city back.

Robin has mentioned via the Newsgroup that she spoke to her agent about the early releases here in Australia and the UK and apparently it was done to avoid losing sales to the US edition.

Yup, with things like TBD etc, these losses were always going to happen...glad to see that common sense prevailed AND I'm glad that I waited. I much prefer the UK version on my shelf.

Some people are realizing the effects of a global community rather than a national/regional community as it was 20 years ago or so.

Oops, now it happend: I don't understand your writing.
But please do not bother to try to explain it. It's difficult and no fun to explain an joke or irony .

['thul]

It was a two-part joke first line unrelated to the second.

'thul are dragons. You have the city of dragons. These beings want their city back.

Have you got the UK version of CoD, Farseer?

[Farseer]

I sure do!

And I fully expect that it would be available to you also.

I have it too !

Oh, that's fantastic news, finella!
