I'm just going to try to read this one, and see if I like it. I like the cover! I've read into the first chapter, and it's reading much better than the prologue did.

One of my main gripes is when they will publish book 2 to whatever but finding book 1 is next to impossible to find!Felicia the Geeky Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03960623537536038059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4337591434347743479.post-69502945741928266132010-05-26T22:45:41.793-07:002010-05-26T22:45:41.793-07:00It must totally frustrate the authors. Publishers...It must totally frustrate the authors. Publishers do a lot of things that just boil down to money. Hardbacks when the writer gets popular. (Mercy Thompson series, Kim Harrison the Hollows, Jim Butcher's books - etc). It's like hey, now that you have a lot of loyal fans, let's take advantage and put your books in hardback, charge three times the paperback amount and wait for at least a year before the paperback version comes out. Nice. So the loyal fans either shell out the extra money to read the book right when it comes out, or waits forever for the paperback. :( Novellas or short stories published in hardback with very large type, losts of very small chapters (Daniel X) and many, many blank pages (Micah) when you can get a very decent fairly long short story in an anthology for paperback price.Mardelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00063358136590143066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4337591434347743479.post-8073743243433922972010-05-26T10:29:08.374-07:002010-05-26T10:29:08.374-07:00I would rant about that too!

Sometimes I just don't get it--why they are sometimes even published out of order and/or they make it impossible to figure out in what order they should be read!Felicia the Geeky Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03960623537536038059noreply@blogger.com
