Just finished Liars Key last night. Great read and I'm loving the direction the story has taken. The ending was perfection. Can't wait for the next book to come out.

Many thanks! The Wheel of Osheim will be with you in June,

Loved the second book.

Spoiler

Jalan is such a smart douche. He knows what to do but he just always fucks about. Owes money? Hey, let's cheat a banking system! He's like the ultimate ADHD child. Whatever is best now works for him. It's one of the turnoffs for me just how incompetent he can be. It isn't his "royal prerogative"? He knows it isn't. Strange. Mark needs to explain it.

Snorri is just tragic. I don't think much more is necessary. He knows he shouldn't, but he can't help himself. That's probably the most believable character Lawrence has created as it pertains to following a goal.

3.5 happenings out of 4.

All 52 of the leather-bound Broken Empire special edition omnibus, priced at $300 sold out in 9 minutes!


Don't despair though because the cloth-bound edition has the graphic design, the new Jason Chan art, the new Jorg short story, the signatures, and of course the three books, and is just $100. Also $10 of that $100 goes to the children's hospice charity (which is more than I make on each book).


Hurry though because the cloth-bound is also a limited edition and over 100 sold in the first hour so they won't be available for pre-order forever!


Pre-order here: http://grimoakpress....e-broken-empire
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE ... nah, just kidding.

Oh my, if god is involved in this, I think I cant just refuse, right?

I can drop anything vaguely *ME* into this thread, right?

Cos I'm kickstarting the apocalypse in my spare time.

[HoosierDaddy]

Post more stuff! Especially about your books!

Silencer gets the call on this.

I wouldn't consider Kickstarters spam since they generally offer info/content/news on top of the request element, plus it's not just hit-and-run advertising if you're someone who posts here.

S'right!

I'm not all about kickstarting the apocalypse (75% funded now, so make sure your affairs are in order) ... I also want everyone to read my books too

Speaking of which, my eldest son is now a Malazan convert! He won't shut up...

It's when he becomes magnanimous and beneficent after reading Malaz that you have to worry.

Gosh, give me some time....

My English still needs some practice...

btw, while looking where I could buy your books I stumbled upon Book Depository, which ships items for 'free' worldwide (yes I realize Im probably a couple of years late). Its roughly 33% cheaper than here plus they even have it stocked! I would probably find out but it would rather be later than sooner (I didnt stumble upon that while looking for bunch of King's books) so thanks!

The Book Depository are basically Amazon but they do a good job shipping to lots of countries - so they're handy to know about.

My books aren't exactly easy-reading so fair warning. Some authors are great story tellers and use plain prose (Sanderson, I hear). I tend to work the language rather harder.

Good to know.

How would they stand in difficultness of language compared to King's books, for example Cujo?

Mistborn, along First Law and maybe Farseer are besides Broken Empire on top of my to read list, maybe I should start with that.
