From Lowly Bookworm:
Of course I meant it in a good way. I was horrified to find volume 2 in my ‘read later’ pile of books, and I will be making sure that volume 3 gets into the very short ‘read now’ pile.

The first two books of this series have been a very pleasant distraction from my ongoing wait to the conclusion of the George R. R. Martin series: A Song of Ice and Fire. I look forward to reading more.

OK, that’s three hits.

Missing ‘r’ in pierced, and yes, the italicisation isn’t quite right there.
Technically, ‘do you even know where are you going?’ was probably unintentional. You’ve convinced me to like it, but strictly it’s wrong.

Three hits wins a prize even if you’re German. We shall talk.

‘erratic’ showers, maybe? And you can live with ‘but nor’ – Perfectly good monkey-speak that. :-p

See, this is what you get for asking. It might be some unknown god’s vengeance, or justice, or sheer luck: King of Crags just arrived from my favourite online shop when I noticed your recruiting poster. And while I have no special weakness for men with moustaches, I do love men with swanky hats. How was I to refuse?

I didn’t come across any accidental revenants or sex changes which is not to say they don’t exist, only that if they do they’re well camouflaged and of no consequence to the story. But I did find ty- *cough* opportunities. Far far far less than I’m used to stumble across, which is probably one of the reasons why I Question mark?
P167 (bottom): Another pieRced Vengeance’s wing, more struck…
P257 (bottom): She had said ‘we’ again. > Looks to me like incongruent (or incongruous? damned monkey language) use of italics, or otherwise the tense is wrong.

Mysteries:
P92 (middle): I do not seek a war with Shezira’s daughters, but nor can I marry them.
> You’re not really trusting a non-native to know it all, do you? But in my mind “but nor” just sounds butt-ugly.
P171 (middle): Dragon, do you even know where are you going?
> Which is perfectly how I would speak when my brain is winking out and my tongue and cheeks are numbed by the freezing cold of Worldspine. So, yeah…

And, since I’m not eligible for a prize I claim the right to slip in a more anal-retentive op- No, sorry, can’t get that combination over my virtual lips. But in the middle of page 210 you mention ’sporadic showers’ and it rubbed me the wrong way, ’sporadic’ didn’t seem to fit the sense of space-time of that scene.

Now, back to writing, little one, ’cause I’m hungry and the Thief-Taker is still a long way off.

The one with the Brent Weeks quote is the US cover and it won’t be out until next year. No difference in content apart from spellings, and the US edition may or may not have a map.

I see two different covers for the king of the crags. Is there any difference as far as the contents of the book?
