I'm only a third of the way through Reaper's Gale, and I still can't wait for Toll the Hounds.....imagine what I go through waiting for Martin's next book!
Dandelion don't tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion
I'm afraid there's no denying
I'm just a dandelion
a fate I don't deserve.

Well, don't you think GotM's prologue is kinda in between? It has that scene with Whiskeyjack, paran, and surly, which is kinda recent.Edit: Read it. It follows the pattern of the series so far, where the even numbered books' prologues show events occuring soon before the start of the novel, whereas odd numbered books show ancient history in the prologue. This one tells us a lot about what's going to happen in Toll the Hounds.
But GotM is kinda different in any case.
What's the prologue of House of Chains again?

I just looked at amazon.co.uk. Did the release date for Toll the Hounds get pushed back? They're now saying July 1. I am sad....

And at the risk of being a double poster...
Amazon.com claims Toll the Hounds will be available in the US September 16th. If that's true, that would be the quickest UK-to-US-version turnaround *ever* for a book in this series.
If it's gonna be that soon, I may preorder from Amazon.com instead of paying big big big bucks for the UK version, as I have in the past.

Well, I couldn't resist any longer. I went to amazon.uk today and ordered the book from them. It should be here in a week or so (couldn't see paying twice the cost of the book to have it express-shipped to the States ).

trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

I promise not to squee over the good parts 'til you've got your copy, Luci.

I wonder if that will be the case here, too. I'd dearly love DG and MoI in hardcover, and GotM, being the first, would be cool, too. No way of knowing if I'll want TtH in hc, but I don't think it'll be a burning need. Heh.
The only hc I have is HoC, because I got a copy for a $1 at the local used store.

That explains why mine's a hardback, then. I was sure I'd ordered a trade paperback. Ah well.Murrin wrote:Turns out there's no trade paperback edition of this one - hardback only. I'm a little annoyed.

My set is all over the block, too. Three mass-market paperbacks, 4 trade paperbacks, and a hardback so far.

It must be that crazy ritual you invoked.
B&N had a bunch of copies of the paperback version of TtH today, but my copy from Amazon hasn't shipped yet. Hood's Balls!
Not that I care that much, I've got a few other books I want to read first. But, still, it's the principle of the matter.
