I suppose so, so long as it doesn't cause any problems for Brandon or Tor. :)

Site I've preordered from have now dropped the price by almost £5, but they won't give me a partial refund unless I cancel the order completely and order it over again, which from the look of it may take more hassle than £5 is worth.

I'm getting pretty irritated now. For some reason, the website where I order all my books doesn't get the concept of pre-ordering. Happened with Gathering Storms, where I didn't have my book four days after release and I made a trip to the other side of the country to get it (two days later, they sent it anyway, so I now have two hardcover copy's of tGS). And it's happening again. Still no WoK. And I want it. I need it. I long for it! *runs around screaming, waving his arms*

Two words: Book Depository

Three more words: Free Worldwide Shipping

The Most Important Word: Reliable

And YES please everyone use **SPOILER** tags in the title if you're going to talk about the book's content with any detail. That would be most appreciated.

Aww! Thanks for the tip! Hadn't heard of it. Cancelled my order, though. Going on a trip to Amsterdam tomorrow, because WoK is in stock there.

I agree Book Depository is the BEST place to buy books on the internet hands down.

Well, got the book on Tuesday, but didn't have much time so could only be half way through till yesterday when suddenly I had more time and have therefore finished it.

As this is a spoilerless topic, I'll just say that it was a very enjoyable read, and despite my relatively careful reading Brandon managed to surprise me repeatedly.
