Bonehunters - Page 3 - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Smiler · 18th March 2006, 04:48 PM

Yep, pro-ordered with Amazon and got it the day after release. Haven't started it yet as I've only just discovered Erikson a couple of months ago. Still, having all his books to read in one go is pretty damn good.
Unfortunately some of the pages are repeated in my copy of Midnight Tides, (see my other post), so I don't know whether to continue or wait for some kind soul to email me the pages/precis.

Cheers,

Steve

This happened to me once, very annoying. Can you not take the book back to where you got it, get a replacement? I'm sure they wouldn't argue it.

Smiler · 18th March 2006, 05:26 PM

I got it 2nd hand from Amazon Marketplace, so I don't know about a replacement. Good idea though, I can only ask.

Rane Longfox · 19th March 2006, 04:59 AM

Hmm, yeah, if you got it second hand it might be harder to get it replaced. Did they tell you about the repeated pages when you ordered it? If not, they've probably got to get you a new one, but I don't know for sure...

I've now sent emails to both publisher and seller, so I'll just have to wait. Unlike reading Midnight Tides which I couldn't put down.

When I get to Bonehunters I'm going to have to slow down though, another year waiting for the next instalment rather than just picking the next one up, sheesh.

Aye, sucks, doesn't it. Ive had to wait a year between each of them since Deadhouse Gates, and I tell ya, it gets a real drag after a while

Well I'm sure I can find something useful for you to do whilst you reside in our fair city...

I've just received a brand new copy from the bookstore that sold me the 2nd hand book. So if any of you buy from Amazon UK then "Browns Books" are a great markeplace seller!

Green · 23rd March 2006, 08:44 AM

I never use the marketplace anymore, cos I've had bad experiences with it.

But I'm happy you got it sorted

Read on!

I received my copy by Express Post, all the way from our young friend Cal, who as you know is holidaying in our fair land.

What a kind young man he is...thank you Cal, a lovely gift.

I am only half way through chapter three unfortunately...however I have already decided that it is much better than MOI...

Sacrilege.

Almost finished, what a book!!!

Smiler · 7th April 2006, 11:56 AM

Having had the joy of reading the whole series so far in one glorious sf feeding frenzy, I'm taking my time and savouring Bonehunters. I'm naturally a fast reader but I've slowed myself for this one.

BUT, I dissagree - it's not as good as MoI
