Veltigar Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I just remember that I have yet to order this book. IIRC, there was a way to order a special copy from Waterstones I think? Could anyone remind me of the specifics on that one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhom Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I’m always torn on preorders... yeah, I want to support my favorite authors like Joe. But I also want to support my bricks and mortar store here in town... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know if this is available outside of the UK or not https://www.waterstones.com/book/a-little-hatred/joe-abercrombie/9781473228849 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, for a signature and an exclusive short of Abercrombie I'm willing to shell out. The only thing that makes me hesitate is the potential wait :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I don't have a kindle and I don't like reading a novel on screen. Especially if I crave the book so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A True Kaniggit Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 The fates were not kind to me. I have an early flight that day, so I won't be able to purchase and start reading the book until late on the day of release. Sorry Mr. Abercrombie. I hope you can find it it your heart to forgive me this transgression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont see the point of reading a spoiler chapter. It would be like starting a wank when you know you haven't got time to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Patrek Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 To be fair, none of these are "spoiler" chapters. So wank with abandon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoldAsYouPlease Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 On 8/7/2019 at 4:37 AM, The hairy bear said: Mostly takes place in the Union and the North, and so picks up the threads of the first trilogy a little more directly than the standalone books did, as the world (or parts of it, at any rate) moves rapidly forward into the turmoil of early industrialisation. The war between Bayaz and Khalul is sort of the constant undercurrent of this world. But the magic is clearly dropping back in importance. There's a lot less magic in this trilogy than the First Law. Looking forward to the book, but tbh I was hoping to get more of a look into the rest of the world of the First Law, at Gurkhul and its prophet, and more about the backstory of the rivalry between Bayaz and Khalul, rather than a jump into a future featuring the adult children of characters we already know, mechanization and industrialization and what appears to be an obvious allegory about the real-life European migrant situation. Hopefully by the third book in the series we won't be reading about Bayaz manuevering to have Jordan dan Glokta appointed director of Adua's space agency so he can beat Khalul in the race to put a man on the moon while Liam dan Luthar comes up with the "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" ad campaign. I'll read it, though - Abercrombie is a good writer, and he knows how to finish up a story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
