Just ordered it Thursday, May 3. They said it wouldn't be shipped until June. Consider me throwing a tantrum right here and now. Wah.

And I did order it from Amazon, UK.

Amazon UK have been shipping copies within the last few days, don't see why yours should be any different.

Did you order the hardback or paperback? I think they might have sold out of the paperback already, which would cause the delay.

I ordered the hardback, but I live in California, USA. Maybe that has something to do with it.

I don't see why it would - I saw your location

A lot of Americans on the malazan board have had their copies shipped recently.

All I can say is, murphy's law. lol

I too live in California (just a little bit north of you, infact) and I ordered the hardcover, which shipped a couple of days ago.

Like I said, murphy's law is in play.

Yaay! I cancelled Murphy's Law. Just got a notice from Amazon, UK, that the Reaper's Gale has been sent and will be here no later than May 16. Happiness abounds in the Murphy household.

I got the paperback in the end.

Does anyone have the hardback yet? I noticed my trade pb doesn't have a section with the Houses/Holds like all the other books did (and its absense is pretty annoying - how the hell am I supposed to remember what the positions are in all these daft Holds?). Was wondering if they put that in the hardback?

Anyway... 250-ish pages in so far, and enjoying it very much.

Somebloke · 8th May 2007, 09:53 PM

Read it!

Will refrain from deep discussion until more people have finished it, but I will say this: it's very much like the Bonehunters in scope, feel and plot twists.

Rane Longfox · 9th May 2007, 12:46 AM

Should probably start a spoiler topic for those who've finished it.

Which still doesn't include me - damn lab reports

Somebloke · 9th May 2007, 06:30 AM

Oh, I have questions. Lots of questions, as befits Erikson's books.

I have the hardback but it doesn't have the list in, as its a different region and the deck of dragons etc doesn't have any power

Green · 12th May 2007, 08:33 AM

No, but Midnight Tides had all the Holds in. Which is what I'm after.

GOLLUM · 12th May 2007, 08:36 AM

I'm a patient kinda guy. Plotting for world takeovers does that to you...

I'm not sure when the book will be out here, probably not before June.
