So I was looking at different threads that kept mentioning things about stonewielder and it seems like people have read it, but when I check on Barnes and Noble, it says it's not out until May 10. Sorry if this is stupid, but I'm trying to not read anything that has to do with stonewielder in case it is somehow out, and I'm just a confused little boy... :unworthy:

Thanks.

Oh thanks ^^

Is there by any chance a website that you know of that I could order it from?

Closer to two months ago actually (November 25th). If you're not fussed on paying a smidge more for shipping, get it from Amazon.co.uk, or Amazon.ca (or wherever it is). You'll get it a lot earlier than May, that's for sure. Oh, and if you do that, remember to use the link to Amazon on the front page! By front page I mean malazanempire.com and not forum.malazanempire.com (which is the forum bit we're currently on). It took me quite a while to figure that out. :unworthy:

Reason being the site gets a little cashola everytime someone orders something from Amazon through that link. Doesn't have to be Malazan stuff either - applies to everything.

Amazon.ca was slightly cheaper than uk for me.

Why didn't I realize that Canada could supply my fix for Stonewielder???

Just ordered 2 copies paperback (my friends are in awe of my international purchasing savvy, now!) Yes, I used link on Main Page.

They wanted $20 to expedite shipping, I'll take my chances. Just 8-16 days to go, enough time to finish re-re-reading RotCG

I'm getting sick of hastily dodging SW spoilers on the New Topics column, why can't that be filtered?

@Kalkin - DO NOT DELAY! 2 months of unnecessary ignorance, for naught.

Now, if only Minecraft servers didn't suck tonight...

HiddenOne. You son of a bitch. You slimy, skulking, low-posting scumbag. You knew it would come to this. Roundabout, maybe. Tortuous, certainly. But here we are, you and me again. I started the train on you so many many hours ago, and now I'm going to finish it. Die HO. Die. This is for last time, and this is for this game too. This is for all the people who died to your backstabbing, treacherous, "I sure don't know what's going on around here" filthy lying, deceitful ways. You son of a bitch. Whatever happens, this is justice. For me, this is justice. Vote HiddenOne Finally, I am at peace.

I just got my copy of Stonewielder off the truck, it's only lunchtime, and it's going to be a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG day.

I have no idea why the publishers would do that. Why stagger release dates? it's a re-print anyway, since English spelling in the U.K., Canada and the U.S. are all different from each other(Canada keeps the "our" endings: labour versus labor like the British, but does not use an "s" in words like organization (vs. organisation); just some examples). Can't be a supply issue. Came across it with an e-book that was released in the U.S., but not Canada. WTF?? Do a global release and get on with life. Real fans will find a way to get it, and the money will then go to the foreign publisher (assuming it's a different company). Just ranting...
