Has anyone seen Bloodwalk on the shelves yet?
I had notification from Amazon that my order had been shipped, which contained Blackstaff, but I also ordered Bloodwalk at the same time...which is listed as being shipped seperately at a later date. I thought they were both due for release on the same date.

It is definitely out there, saw it here at the local B&N. Could be shipping from different locations maybe? I don't have much experience with Amazon myself though. Hope you like!

| With a bit of luck it'll be in my mailbox by Friday. With a bit of bad luck I'll have to re-order both Bloodwalk and Blackstaff by next Wednesday. With a lot of bad luck I'll just have to re-order Bloodwalk (that's worse since I'll have to pay the postage cost twice). |
There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

I found it today with Blackstaff and the new Dlance Companions novel.
As I said in the Blackstaff scroll, I have to finish the 100 pages of the current book before I get into these. |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

I have Bloodwalk (got it yesterday) and will likely read it after Blackstaff. How could I resist? It's set in the Border Kingdoms.  |

Really?  Excellent I'm looking forward to this book even moreso now. The focus this year on the Border Kingdoms has been great! |

I got it yesterday, but I guess it will take a while till I actually come to read it.
My FR stack is growing n' growing .

| I just finished it as well. I found it to be one of the better FR novels I have read recently. I enjoyed the characters such as Quinnsareth immensely. The Blood mage is an interesting "bad guy" as well. |

I suppose, but stranger things have happened. |

SPOILER AHEAD
Here's Quajack's take. One man's opinion.
After reading the first 50 pages or so, I was ready to give up. About 47 of these pages were filled with fight scenes. I've been pretty explicit on these forums about my personal disdain for drawn out descriptions of fight scenes in FR novels. I do, however, both recognize and appreciate the fact that most FR readers do enjoy prolonged fighting, as evidenced by the fact that these scenes continue to endure within the pages of my beloved tomes.
The concept of Morgynn's Bloodwalk characted was pretty gruesome and original. In the same vein of the "Are the good guys winning too much" thread, I would have loved to see Morgynn kill Quin and annihilate the Savros followers. Her subsequent arrival on the shores of various Faerunian cities and towns could have provided fodder for several other novels.
Overall, the novel picked up tremendously after the ogre-led gnolls were erradicated. The setting was refreshingly original as were the glimpses into previously ignored religions and cults of the Border Lands. 7/10 for originality and some fine storytelling.
PLEASE NOTE: The only reason I've included negative commentary regarding this novel is because of my own personal dislike of fight scenes. Biased as it may be, the amount of time spent on fight scenes in each book tends to weigh heavily on my opinions of them. I realize that FR is primarily a setting driven world whose fans seemingly enjoy as many monster-inclusive and fighting related scenes as can be packed into any given novel. Despite my feelings on the subject, I'll continue to purchase every FR novel and love and criticize them in my own way. |
