Way of Kings release date change?
« on: June 02, 2010, 01:17:13 AM »
I was just on Amazon, and I saw that The Way Of Kings is due out August 31st, instead of the 17th. Can anyone confirm this?

It's true. August 31 is now the official date.
All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

On a related note, somebody totally needs to make up some Elvis 'Way of Kings' dustjackets. ^_^

For those who are disappointed, from what I gather, this delay is so bookstores like Barnes and Noble can really push Way of Kings with displays in the front of the stores. So, while it sort of sucks, Brandon is getting a colossal push, which is excellent.

The Canadian release will be synchronized with the American one I hope.
My copy is on order off of amazon already, however it's amazon.ca.
