I just thought of something: since this book is taking place pre-ptolemy, how is that going to effect Bart's character? I mean, I always had the impression that Ptolemy softened his views toward humans and made him a bit erm...less bloodthirsty than the other spirits. Is he going to be different now? What do you think?
Yes, good point. Never considered it too. Bart would be rather like how he described himself on his first meeting with Ptolemy. Proud yet not too unfriendly.

just wondering, does that german edition mean the book is in german language or just released earlier? sorry for the stupid question.. it's just so strange
ps: hoping to get the book at the frankfurt book fair :)
I think it would be in English. They usually don't translate it so fast. But do y'all get many English books in Germany?

Anyway, welcome!

thank you :) nice to meet you!
well, it says in Jonathan Stroud's Journal "It looks like the first edition to appear will be the German one", so if it's a german edition it should mean it's in german, because otherwise it would be a pre-release of the english edition, wouldn't it? especially since the release date is the same as the date of the book fair where it will be first shown.
i find the wording quite strange, speaking of a german edition instead of a pre-release due to the book fair.. hm
maybe it's being translated at the moment already :)

That's got to be a placeholder, surely. It's just a two-minute shop of the AoS cover.

Oh. That is surprising.

Weird. They're the gargoyle from the AoS cover shopped onto the backgrounds for the other covers. How strange.

We were talking about it in IRC earlier. I just kinda forgot to post about it here.

So... how long do you all think it will be?
I'm gunning for something along Ptolemy's Gate, since Golem's Eye wasn't quite a smooth read.

I'm back :)

Amazon & BnN say 512 pages, which is the exact amount of pages Ptolemys Gate Hardcover was, oddly

For the full initiation ceremony back into our cult forum, what is the correct gender of Mwamba?

Y'know, spin offs usually leave me with dread that it's not going to live up to the original series, but I don't feel so scared about this book.

Using Amazon.ca as a source, it appears the release date of the book in Canada is a week after the US. I've updated the countdown to reflect this.
