  11. Glad you enjoyed it The rest of the series is much easier to get into. I just finished the last volume yesterday and the Sun Sword now stands among my favorite SFF series of all time. Michelle West is a truly gisted author and I wish more people gave this series a chance! Can't wait to read the House War series!

  17. My bad, it did make it once and once only after the season finished airing. The Tor Books post came before that and I remember discussing it with Wert back then. But a single week at number 13 is nothing that could explain such a high number of sales. Just a million books sold (and that's a lot!) would have seen TEotW and other WoT titles across bestseller lists on both sides of the Atlantic. Nearly 5M would have seen a boost in sales akin to that of ASOIAF, and that in multiple languages.
  18. TEotW never made the mm list at any time during the airing of season one, nor before or after. It did good on the Amazon list, but not the rest of the series. For WoT to have sold nearly 5M copies over a 24-month span, it would have appeared on every bestseller list in the world. It would have been akin to ASOIAF during the first season of GoT, with ADWD topping the NYT hardcover list and the other 4 remaining on the paperback list for months on end. The same in the UK, Canada, Germany, France, Spain, etc. 5M copies in so short a span of time is HUGE. Even if spread across multiple installments, they would still have made the big lists for a number of weeks/months. This didn't happen. Around the same time, Dune and The Witcher both appeared on said lists for quite a few weeks. Other than the Amazon rankings, WoT didn't make waves while the episodes aired. Then again, it was so different from the source material and this was bemoaned by many, myself included. So maybe viewers elected to forgo the books. . .
  19. Hard to believe since none of the WoT installments appeared on any bestseller lists in any Western countries. They didn't even top Amazon's top 100 fantasy books during that period. Looks like a marketing lie, just like when Tor posted that TEotW was an NYT bestseller while the first season aired when in truth the novel never did. . .
  20. R. Scott Bakker's The Darkness That Comes Before is 2.99$ on Kindle.
  21. Miles Cameron's Cold Iron is 2.99$ on Kindle.
  22. China MiƩville's Perdido Street Station is 2.99$ on Kindle.
  23. Oh shit, I didn't know. It makes perfect sense to postpone the release of the book.
  24. There are no recent stats for that novella. But based on the Goodreads ratings and Mark Lawrence's metric, looks like it sold about a million copies since its release. We'll see this fall how well the new one will do. . .
