Ser Scot A Ellison Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 This is nice. I don't have to debate between this and Thorn of Emberlain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea why a single week delay can happen though? No idea why really. It happened with previous books as well, I remember. They set a date, and in the end they released it a month later, or two. The arc's for this one had an August mention on it as well, which sort of indicates the "fluidity" of their schedule. It doesn't matter much when it's only a week of course.

Madness Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Thanks, Mith. Well - may Fortuna favour us. I'm surprised I'm not seeing more of the Westeros trying to win one of the two ARCs, especially at the rate you can all spew random theories here :P. Posting a question or a prediction in this thread gets you entered for a chance to win one of two The Great Ordeal ARCs. Duplicates aren't disqualified so you don't have to read the thread if you are worried about spoilers. Your questions/predictions will be counted up to ten so there's really no reason why everyone shouldn't be entered into the draws ten times. Thanks again, mrganondorf :)!

Kalbear Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 Yeah, if I remember wasn't the overlook one delayed for a while and a bunch of us ordered WLW via England? I kinda remember lording that over people. That was fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Patrek Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Scott got back to me with the answers to the interview questions. So you can expect to see the interview go up soon! Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werthead Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 The entire last chapter is off-the-charts crazy. I suspect people will by analysing it as much as the rest of the book put together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarcellus Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 That seems like a strange thing to post. EDIT: That was directed at Kalbear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalbear Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 The excerpt that was read with sorweel wasn't complete. Its second half is possibly just as weird as the akka/mimara one. Definitely didn't see that one coming. Don't think anyone did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lokisnow Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Kal got the ARC and is polluting us all with vagaries that don't qualify as spoilers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madness Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Lol - paying upwards of $100 for an ARC is one hell of a way to not support Bakker and still read the book. Poor Westerosi. You're at his mercy now, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor Westerosi. You're at his mercy now, I suppose. Seattle also is home to places that get ARCs, Madness. Places I've worked at and have friends at. Do you think that all ARCs are sold on eBay? And sorry, @Werthead. While this topic is marked with spoilers and I didn't think what I wrote was particularly spoilery, I'm guessing that it qualifies? I'm not sure how you'd like me to proceed, here. PM me if you could. Am also curious how the rest of y'all would like me to proceed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werthead Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 My feeling is that we shouldn't be spoiling the whole book before it comes out, especially not this one, which is best read cold and unspoiled (I think me and Pat may have teased a bit too much anyway). Spoiler discussion of the book pre-release is best-handled on the SA subforum especially dedicated to that. Once the book is widely available in the wild - and that includes if a whole ton of bookshops and Amazon start sending the book out early - it's fair game but we will have a very clearly labelled thread for that.

unJon Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I'd like anything not in the public excerpts done under spoiler tags. Otherwise I will need to bow out of this thread until I read the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
