beniowa Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I'm most looking forward to Poseidon's Wake by Alastair Reynolds and The Tiger and the Wolf by Adrian Tchaikovsky. I want to continue with Salyards, but I wasn't too impressed by Veil of the Deserters. I know a lot of people liked it more than the first book, but I had the exact opposite reaction.

SkynJay Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I will have to buy Chains of the Heretic. Damn pricey for an ebook but my library doesn't touch Nightshade releases and I don't expect this one to ever enter mass-paperback territory (yes I am cheap). Count me as one who liked Veil of Deserters more than its predecessor. Kind of off topic here but did anyone read The Free by Brian Ruckley? I thought it had a similar vibe to Salyard's series but tied up in one book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several short novellas about The Free that will be appearing soon in the UK. Three have been announced so far—A Tale of the Free: Corsair (Mar 1); A Tale of the Free: Exile (Jun 7); A Tale of the Free: Tyrant (Sep 6). I've seen no confirmation yet about an American release for these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out they're asking full price for a novella. Which because I pre-ordered it as soon as it was listed I didn't realise it was (I'm not sure the blurb at the time even mentioned it and the cover certainly doesn't). Didn't realise until I closed by e-reader and booted it back up to see I was 95% through. I mean, it's not a bad novella, although it does feel like the beginning of a bigger story to add to the , but I feel they've been cheeky here.

Actually, I got my pre-ordered hardcover in the mail on Monday, a full three weeks before the release date. Not sure how that happened, but I'm not complaining!

I read about 20% of Snakewood. Disjointed narrative, by design, but it made it not only hard to follow but also hard to care about any one thread of the plot.

Darth Richard II Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Snakewood looks like its going to be the first big dud of 2016, unless there was one i missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
