Rhom Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Got an email from Amazon that my pre-order is ready to ship. Still won't be here until the 25th though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jurble Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Yeep, can't wait until I get a physical copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danylmc Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Six chapters in, and this is the most R Scott Bakkerish of all Bakker's books, and I mean that in a bad way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consigliere Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I'm on chapter 15 and honestly it has been a chore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hit fifteen, and this is a really boring, repetitive, pointless novel. Unless Bakker pulls out something pretty damn spectacular in the ending this is definitely the last of his books I spend money on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibandar Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 My US hardcover was shipped through Book Depository this weekend. Exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callan S. Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Mine has arrived in Australia and is at the bookshop, picking it up tomorrow. Yay, I'm not waiting ages after everyone else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
End of Disc One Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I see people on Goodreads complaining that this is a disappointing end to the series, and giving it low marks for lack of closure. It's funny because I remember people saying the same things about The Thousandfold Thought. It shouldn't be so confusing that the Second Apocalypse is not over yet. Other complaints are probably valid though (haven't read the book myself). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that it's easy to not worry about any cliff hangers knowing there is a third series on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny because I remember people saying the same things about The Thousandfold Thought. At the same time though, a lot of very glowing reviews as well. I think I'll be on the side of those who will really like almost all of what's in there, but am also likely to complain that it was not enough, that perhaps too many storylines are not addressed at all, or rushed through. That's been the only fear I have with this book. As for TTT, yes, well, it ends the trilogy but when you finish it, it is blatantly obvious that the bulk of the story is yet to be told. TUC should not feel that way. As a capstone to the rather more modest Prince of Nothing storyline it offers decent closure I think, but even then it definitely left me feeling I'd want to read the next one right away to see where it's going.

matt b Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 FYI: for those waiting in the U.S., it appears as if Barnes & Noble has some copies in stock now. I just put a copy on reserve and received a notification they're holding it for me so I'll be picking it up when I get a chance later today.

Corvinus85 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 FYI, all those who did not patiently wait for the book release in their own country, but ordered from elsewhere, or got advanced copies etc. are now damned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callan S. Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I got mine, yah! OMG, what am I saying, this is fucked up shit... I think like the body horror genre, Bakker has some psycho horror genre going for him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caligula_K3 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 My copy came yesterday (thanks Book Depository and whoever posted that deal). About 70 pages in, and this indeed is a very Bakkery book, full of meins and fairlys and hilarities and deaths swirling down. I'm hoping it picks up soon...

Ghjhero Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Bakker will be having a second AMA on Reddit on August 2nd and will be discussing things related to all 7 books. For those who ordered from Book Depository, was there a way for you to track you package? I was expecting mine to arrive today, but no luck. Maybe tomorrow or Monday at the latest hopefully.
