Is that the illustrated one? Looks awesome. Never read the last three so it's a good reason to pull the trigger too, hmm.

The Illustrated one is the one I'm talking about, yeah. It's just a gorgeous book. Weighs a ton though!

Whoa I didn't realize we were getting that so soon. Also Mirror Visitor book 2 is out in English already (and has been for months). I'm out of the good YA loop.

So be a house hubby and stay home with the spawn and play Xbox all day. It's win-win!

Or even better - work from home?

He would have them speaking perfect Queen's English from all the Downton Abby marathons. Accent, elocution, crustless cucumber sandwiches, the whole thing.

I bought Warriors of the Altaii by Jordan last night. I have a couple days off this month. I'm looking forward to reading it.

I am genuinely curious to read what forumites have to say about this. Peak Jordan was pretty awesome, but EYE OF THE WORLD and his earlier Conan stuff are (not bad, but) hardly peak Jordan, and this predates that.

I'll be curious what "isms" that we know he was all about in WOT may have been present in such and early piece of writing...
