Slick Mongoose Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Reading the exerpt makes me realize that his writing styles comes off somewhere in the area of slightly decent fanfiction. And, damnit, I love it. Usually, I struggle to read fiction on my computer. I need it in book form. GRRM's ADWD teasers will have to wait until the book's out. But Lynch's stuff is just so easy to read, it grabs and enthralls. That's not "slightly decent fan fiction", that's great writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geddon Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 He also posted some info about the novellas on The Right People message board: The first two novellas will form a direct prelude to Lies, covering the story of where the cask of Austershalin came from and the consequences of the GBs getting their hands on it. The two novells will be titled The Mad Baron's Mechanical Attic and The Choir of Knives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat5150 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Shit, Bantam won't be printing those ARCs for about 3 months! Hopefully I'll have better luck with Gollancz... I've got to get my hands on this book! Damn that Lynch guy for whetting our appetites like this! Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinDonner Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 *bump* - a few of us have had the ARC through now, and I got through it at the weekend - it's bloody good, and everything you'd wish for from a sequel (apart from sentient trees, sorry HE). I thought I'd move the discussion here rather than in the March Reading thread, so to answer the last question from there, no, no Sabetha - Scott's confirmed that she won't appear till book 3 (dammit!). There are some great female characters though, hard-nosed gamblers and kickass pirate captains, all good stuff! Full review here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Ent Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 no, no Sabetha - Scott's confirmed that she won't appear till book 3 (dammit!). So she could still be a sentient tree, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcf Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 It'll probably be another week before it makes it here through the mail - I'll probably wait until after the first round of reviews before reading it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcf Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I've been hating them with a passion for DAYS now. Hate them a LOT. Jealous doesn't even begin to describe what I'm feeling. this makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside - is that wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat5150 Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Let this be a lessong to all you people who try to be nice... I'm asked by Gollancz if I know other quality bloggers, and if I'd mind getting their contact details so books can be sent to them. So what do I do!?! Give them MinDonner and Werthead's contact info, happy to help get them some recognition and all that crap. Next thing I know, with them being damned Brits and all that stupid stuff, I realize that they'll be getting Lynch's newest much quicker than I will, what with me living on the other side of the fucking Atlantic Ocean and all! God save the Queen, my ass! Whoever said it pays to be nice!?! Life truly is a bitch!!! No but seriously, I'm glad to learn the book is good. Not that I had any doubt, but it's nice to get some confirmation. As for you, MinDonner and Werthead, you guys owe me a drink for this, at the very least! Make that two, just for good measure! Patrick P. S. Min, I can't believe you immediately jumped into RSURS. You still have a brand new copy of Goodkind's Phantom that you haven't opened yet!

Mad Queen Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 OK, I have kidnapped GRRM and Scott Lynch and I will get them drowned in a cask of horse piss if you don't send me an ARC! Yours truly, Gray Queen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beniowa Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Anyone seen the covers for the US edition? I like the UK ones much better, plus they match the cover of LoLL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempra Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 US covers always seem to suck. What's up with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
