Sorry - my Bad!

(did we really give secrets away???) Twas not my intent.. It's just the questions were posted here and if I wanted to reply, I kinda had to reply here..

But hopefully the good people who haven't read the 3rd Chrons will do so in good speed so ther won't be any drama

Lord Frith, I have 16 pages to go. I would have finished it this morning if I didn't have to go into work. Hopefully will have time tonight, although I hear the girlfriend is having friends over tonight when I have an early day tomorrow. Blah.

I got it the first day and read it within two. Argghh, I have not enough patience. Gotta find something to read for two years and nine months. :(

I finally finished it on Thursday. Overall, I'd say it is a fit for the rest of the Covenant series. I hate to say it felt too long to me, but it felt too long to me. Still, it was enjoyable. The best part is that now I can go into the Fatal Revenant forum and read everything.

I can wait for a very long time..if i live i could even wait untill book four comes out. I did the same thing with the dark tower series..i couldnt stand waiting for the next book so i put the whole thing on hold. ..but now that im coming here..damn.i dont know how long i will be able to wait..i keep asking questions that i have a feeling im going to find out about in FR. it will be at least 3-4 months for me..i still have not read the first chapter posted on SRDs website.... that will be my first step..and 15 minutes later i will be on my way to Barnes & Noble. but for now.... I am holding off.

Still resisting; of course, it's not hard to do when the hardback (and the e-book) is pushing $30.

I live in Africa. In a city of more than a million people there is nothing like Borders (nor Starbucks, Wal-Mart, Circuit City...in fact, you can't even buy a new car) So I have to wait. However, I happen to be going to my sister's wedding next week in the good ol' USA!!! So, I'll buy it, read it in two nights, then be disgruntled for a couple days as I realize how long it's going to be till #2 comes out.

Heh. . . I haven't read Runes yet (though I own it), and I don't know when I will get to it. I promised myself that I would reread the 1st and 2nd Chrons before moving on. So obviously I haven't even thought of FR yet. However, I am going to go meet SRD the first weekend in May, and I am desperately hoping that no one at the event spoils things for me by asking questions about Runes or FR. :cross:

still havent read FR, Im going to use my Gift card today if i can find one available at B&N, otherwise i will have to wait for the paperback also. currently in the middle of PTP so the reading will at least be a week or more off..unless i can prevent myself from reading it, the preventing part is really easy.... i almost have anxiety about reading it in the first place so it helps ;)

Do you rave? :E

A bunch of SRD fans get together and they don't discuss the 3rd Chrons?

Well...i havent read FR yet..but today i bought both Runes and Fatal Revenant, guess how much i paid for the hard back version of FR at Barnes and Noble.. I couldnt believe my eyes...i almost bought all 7 copies available, it was only $4.89 how is that possible? ..i paid $16 for runes and i asked for the Hard cover edition and he said there wasnt one released.. did they have a limited edition hard cover for Runes?

anyway..im still not reading it. ive read the entire cover and the sleeve and now i have it sitting on my shelf face out just waiting.
