Hello, all.
Has anyone gotten their hands on a copy of Ed's latest, The Sword Never Sleeps? The release date was supposedly today. |

See, that's my question. Is it just a trilogy? I posted the question, but didn't get an answer (yet). Just hoping there will be more. |

Mine came yesterday, but I'm too swamped with work to start it at once. It may be the last thing I buy from Wizards for a good while. |

Just finished the book yesterday and thought it was great. I've now read 6 Ed Greenwood books and have truly enjoyed them all. I had some misgivings before diving into Mr. Greenwood's writing because of some of the negative comments I've seen on various forums, but so far I've been pleasantly surprised.
Kinda spoilerish:
Sidenote: Did anyone else happen to notice that Dove is still a "Silverhand" in these books, which take place in 1348 DR? My first introduction to her was as a "Falconhand" in Sojourn (1339 DR). Looks like RAS may have jumped the gun on the wedding date. |

-Thank you my lady. 
-I figure I should start buy Hard Cover Books anyways. My Blackstaff Novel Cover came completely off. I guess I will need to buy another one!

Brimstone, don't quote me on this, but I believe THE SWORD NEVER SLEEPS is hardcover only for now, and a mass market paperback edition will appear in May of 2009. Now, things can shift in publishing, but as of right now, I believe that's the WotC plan.
love,

-I have been reading The Swords of Dragonfire at work the last couple of nights. I have been getting paid to read Ed. I love my job. 
-Quick question will The Sword Never Sleeps only be a hardcover, or is it a soft cover. Or will it be a soft cover in about a year? I also like posting from work. I love the Graveyard shift!

Usually they are very good about that. But the last 5-6 orders (over the last 5-6 months), I've noticed that they were very delayed. I would usually get a notice that the item was shipping a day or two before the release, only to see it sitting there with an outbound notice for 4-6 days. |

I'm beginning to not venerate Amazon as much as I used to. Used to be if I pre-ordered a book, I'd usually receive it on the street date it was released. Now, I'm still waiting almost a full week after the street date.
But it should be here today. I mean the tracking says it's only 60 miles away, so it shouldn't be much longer, right?
Amazon is usually really good about getting stuff to you quickly... But they're certainly not the fastest. I once placed two orders on the same day: one with Amazon, one with CDJapan. The CDs left Tokyo and were in my hands in less than 48 hours. They beat, by more than a day, the books coming from Jacksonville, with is a two-hour drive from here. |

Mine just dropped through the door 5 minutes ago.
Suddenly a "writing thesis" day has turned into a "curl up in bed and read an Ed Greenwood book" day.
I much prefer the latter . |

Some of the too-brief scenes featuring Alusair and Vangey (not to mention a certain dark-hearted Highknight) rank right up there with the best D&D-related fiction writing ever. Ed is a far better writer than most gamers give him credit for, and (increasingly, these last few books) it shows. I await the various hatchet-job reviews with interest, because they always tell me far more about the reviewer than about Ed's work.
love to all,

Not to mention my copy is coming with this as a tagalong:
Tales from the Perilous Realm. Tolkien's four novellas: Farmer Giles of Ham, Leaf by Niggle, Smith of Wootton Major, and Roverandom and one book of poems (The Adventures of Tom Bombadil), all collected in a single hardcover.

This is one novel I definitely plan to buy, and expect to enjoy. |

I also have it, and am reading, and echo our Hooded Lady's sentiment as regards Alusair and Vangerdahast--interchanges that make one love and miss the Mithral Princess even more, now, and recognize just what a delicate and complex relationship exists behind the doors of the Palace... |

I've had this one on release countdown for the last couple of months. After book 2 I am pretty much salivating to read it...
...and I just got a mail informing me of its dispatch. |

*gasp* I'll have to check for it soon...thanks for the reminder. |

I checked like 5 book stores today...all of them thought they should have 1 copy, but nobody had any. A store that was waaay far supposedly had 6 copies, but I wasn't going to venture that far. :) (Major bummer, I thought all copies would have it ready for me at the front of the store on diplay, but I guess it was just wishful thinking...Ed doesn't get enough respect in my city!)
Ended up ordering it from the nearest and they told me it will be in store in about a week.
The Fractured Sky by Thomas M. Reid however I was able to find. |
