Beren Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Makes sense, given that's where the novel occurs.

m_r_parker Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Oh great, another Siege of Terra Ltd Edition going up for sale at the same time as a massive Sisters release that is guaranteed to crash the site. Also, where was the announcement for this? There was nothing up on WHC that I can remember. I really hope I can get one...

theSpirea Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 They didn't announce it. It was leaked a couple days ago. I believe BL/GW is intentionally not announcing it so they prevent overload of the page. And maybe they're thinking hardcore fans will "somehow" get the info?. It's a shame, as it's usually the loyal fanbase who suffers at the end and have to pay ridiculous eBay prices.

Indefragable Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Call me crazy....but why don’t they do pre-orders of LE books? that way they have a reasonable expectation of demand ahead of time and there’s no BS about having to time your orders. yea it’s the publishing industry, but it’s also the freakin’ 2nd decade of the 21st century.

I'm not sure about this so many years later, but didn't they try this model for Kyme's Scorched Earth, way back when, and it delayed the release so much that the twist of Vulkan being alive was delivered later than, y'know, Vulkan Lives was on the market, despite being up for ordering a couple months earlier? I seem to recall discussing this on Warseer at the time.

m_r_parker Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 And I've got one - £40 is a bit step considering how slim it is (can't be more than 150-200 pages) RedFurioso 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/361153-the-siege-of-terra-sons-of-the-selenar/#findComment-5459445 Share on other sites More sharing options...
theSpirea Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) Pre-order would also mean it wouldn't be limited, at least not nicely round number 1250 or 2500. Having limited edition out also boosts the sales of the later released hardback/paperback. It does look slim and if they are going to follow the previous HH novellas, it's going to be probably around 128 pages (between 27K-35K words, that's less than a third of the regular novel). I think the asking price is too much.

I like the nicer edition regardless of how many others have it. It could be limited by time. Yes DC your right it was tried previously and it was poorly coordinated in the release schedule.

Knockagh Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I liked quite afew of the novellas. Garro vow of faith, Ravenlord, wolf king and the purge I can remember being nice little reads. I think this will be more substantial than any of these, but that’s just a guess. Cybernetica was a real disappointment DarkChaplain and RedFurioso 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/361153-the-siege-of-terra-sons-of-the-selenar/#findComment-5459795 Share on other sites More sharing options...
caladancid Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I guess I have just missed that it is not one of the 8 main books. As much as I liked some of the novellas for the HH series, I thought the entire point of doing this new series was to just streamline to the end.

So much so that I'd argue it's one of the worst things in the series. As for Sons of the Selenar, I'm rather curious how it'll turn out. The subject matter is interesting enough and it'll have to tie various hints and plotstrings together. Wouldn't surprise me to see Lucius either.

Agreed, Wolf King was quite a bit better than the Wolfsbane novel and I'd hold that Brotherhood of the Storm is quietly the best of Wraight's Vth legion works.

b1soul Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Brotherhood of the Storm is arguably the strongest HH novella out there.

DarkChaplain Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Arguably indeed. Personally, I can take it or leave it. It was decent, but nothing I've really thought back to much outside of when I was reading the other White Scars books. I'd take Executioner over it any day.
