Think of all the poor fans all over the world who do not even get a chance to read the novel until it has been translated! True, I may read the American version, but most people in Italy will have to wait for at least a few more months.

And after all, I've always been suspicious when people are so eager to read a new book. I mean, it is the effect of advertising. When I read that there was an incredibly long queue in front of some bookstores in England when a new Harry Potter book came out hours before the opening time, I felt that the human kind is really bizarre.

Waiting makes the pleasure of having something grow. Let's put it philosophically.

Its more the fact of the injustice thats it's british but america is getting it first...If it had been in spanish or something and i had to wait for it to be translated then, fine, I'd accept that, it would be a spanish book and spain should get it first. The same with american books and movies, you should get them first. It's the pinciple that bugs me more than when i get to read it. -_-

(When alls said and done though, I'm perfectly fine to wait for the graphic novel to be released theres no spoilers that come with it because we all already have the book. If it would've been RoS I really wouldn't have been joking about it.There's nothing worse than having to avoid the forums for about 3 or 4 months. The sheer injustice of it would've killed me.
I'm big on fairness. can't you tell? :D )

I agree with your point on waiting though, sometimes i order stuff off the net just for the excitment of waiting for it to arrive. I'm such a child. :P

We'll be making sure RoS spoilers stay within the RoS forum only, so people who are still waiting for the release date don't need to risk spoilers.

No worries, I'm getting it 26 days later after UK.
Edit: Actually and second thought, 3 weeks sounds really long...

Heh. When I went to buy mine, the shelf was still pretty full.

Yes, absolutely.

I was just reading review for RoS and spoiling myself slightly, ffffuuuu I am incapable of waiting two weeks
Luckily the only thing I learned was a few character names. Kind of wonder if

Asmira
will be a Kitty expy. Or if any other spirits will show up, like Faquarl or Queezle (which would be amazingawesome).

Yes, that would be awesome. And I think that is a possibility because Bart says he had discussed Faquarl with Solomon (which, ofc, might be a lie).

Mainly, I want to see if Bart was any different. We don't know much about what Bart's thoughts and feelings were before he met Ptolemy. I want to know if he was less compassionate (well, not compassionate really but generally more affable than other spirits) back then and far more cynical about humans.

Me too. Ptolemy changed Barti, we all know that. Bcuz they bring the ho Yay 8D. But I wonder how he was before.

OK, I've almost finished the book so i can answer this. If you really don't want to know, don't look.

She's not. she's the total opposite in ideals, but thats all I'm telling you
Does anyone know whether this is the discussion that'll be used when we've all read the book, the one with spoilers or will there be another one with SPOILERS written all over it? cause in another 50 pages i'll be so willing to create that topic.

Yeah, it is very tempting. So please make a separate topic and cover it with spoiler warnings and also jinxes and hexes if possible.
Just 37 days more! That is like a month! Woo!

I was talking about your spoiler, Indie =p.

haha, it's not really much of a spoiler, not plot wise anyway, it only gives you a slight, very vague insight into one little side of of Asmira (i can write that 'cause it's on the blurb) . no big. It's not actually a spoiler. much. :P

pfff Indie I clicked on your spoiler
then regretted it immediately and closed it
so I only got the first two words.
(but it's good to know!)

I kind of just want to buy the ebook and be done with it, but it wouldn't be the same. :I I'll just continue to rage about living on the other side of the Atlantic.

Indie's new thread is as tempting right now.

why don't you get it off ebay, i did it with an american book (city of glass) i wanted. actually i think i got it off amazon in the end. both the uk ones, they sell them from abroad. I'm sure they'd do it with your countries versions of the sites too.

unless you want a translated version in which case, your stuffed. sorry...

whooo, yay! I'm a foilot :dance:
