Now, I just need to get my copy from Amazon.
If you like the dresden Files, or hell, just want a really good fantasy series, I would highly suggest everyone to pick it up and give it a go. And the best part, even though it's 6 books, the series is finished so you will get a start and a finish  |

Those assclowns are taking seven days to get the book here from 200 miles away.
I've been waiting all this time to get Wheel of time 12 because I wanted the free shipping when I ordered this and that.
I believe the paperback of book five was always released today.

I've been waiting for that one for only a year and grabbed it off of Audible.com just as soon as my credit kicked in. However, I am only now listening to it since I was caught up in Robin Hobb's "Farseer" and "Tawny Man" trilogies.
It's been a good season for books I have been waiting for: WoT book 12, Codex Alera book 6, the latest Outlander offering by Diana Gabaldon, the final book in John XII Hawks "The Fourth Realm" trilogy and Lois McMaster Bujold's "The Sharing Knife" series all coming available recently. WooHoo!!
Next on the "I'm-waiting-for" list is Dresden Files book 12 - "Changes" due April 6, 2010

Reading it now! The library actually had a fairly short waiting list for it, so I got it from them. Enjoying it so far! Hubby had to take it away from me so I'd go to bed when I was supposed to last night.

Yeah that is how I do it when a book first comes out too. I prefer to buy paperback and those usually don't come out until later.

I just read the first book and while I thought it was good I can see why nobody was willing to publish his fantasy work before he was famous. It is a very cliche and generic epic fantasy story straight down to the farm boy and the castle siege. With all the great, creative writers in the genre today I felt like I was taking a trip back to the 80s reading formula fantasy. from the characters to the plots to the themes- there was nothing new or interesting.
Hopefully the series will pick up in the later books; so far I am not excited. The sparse, easy read, obvious result style of Butcher just doesn't translate 1:1 to this genre.
That isn't to say it is bad, if you like epic fantasy and you like Jim Butcher you will probably like this. I enjoyed it well enough that I intend to finish the series.

I've missed 80's formulaic fantasy. So there . |

I found that the series did get better as it went along, just like his Dresden stuff. It might still be a little formulaic, but still had enough twists to make me not want to put it down.
