    I picked up my copy of Destiny's Way today. Am I missing something here, or is it very lucky that I only had to pay $29.95 for it? I thought it was supposed to cost $10 more than that?

    I must go and pick up a copy tomorrow. I thought halfway through Traitor that I might not want to keep reading the series but the end of the book was fantastic and gave me new reason to love NJO.

    Hey there! Been outta' the loop for a while, but it doesn't take long to get back up to speed!

    Does anyone know if it's out in Adelaide yet? I've dropped into a few Dymocks and Angus and Robertston's over the last couple weeks and they say the end of October and here we are on the last day of said month and I'm still twiddling my thumbs not knowing!

    BTW I LERVE the new forum look! and I think the Alien scan from the Alien Legacy DVD boxset icon is choice! Hence I've now made it my icon!

    Anyway, I gather it's out DownUnder but not everywhere, plus we have a discrepancy as to how much it is and should be? I think we usually pay about $30 to $45 or so for HCs. I remember grumbling about paying $45 for some HC or other. Even Harry Potter 4 wasn't that much, and it's about the 636 pages - much like SBS. Just checked my copy of Traitor - $17.95 - man, I remember when we were paying $10.95 for PBs! Oh well, thems the breaks.

    Darksaber? I've had that for years. Don't wanna' rain on your parade, but it wasn't one that I'd really recommend other than for completing your collection...

    Nuff'sed!

    Gotta' cruise, See Ya'!

    Excellence, I ordered my copy from my local bookshop, which is like twenty minutes away in a neighbouring town. I live about three hours from Sydney in the Upper Hunter (hopeless place). The owner of shop sells the hardcovers a bit cheaper, and I recall that the AOTC hardcover was only $29.95 as well. Probably just lucky I guess.

    I also received my copy last Friday and have finished reading it--not a bad book, just IMO not a great one either but it does serve it's job.

    Thanks to DD for the PM. I walked into work on Friday and was told Dymocks rang, the book is in. I guess most places received it the same time.

    However Dymocks at Westfield Carousel had sold out and only had pre-ordered copies available so I guess a few people have been buying it.

    Enjoy the read everyone and let's hope next time another delay doesn't happen :)

    PS: Thanks Kadue for changing the thread title-it made me look :)

    I guess it's just lucky that the owner of the bookshop is that lenient with the price.

    I FINALLY found a copy of Destiny's Way today in Darwin. I am up to page 170, and love every page of it so far! :)

    I will write a review for TF.N Books when I am finished.
