Spoiling...


Okay then...

For those of you who have read KOTW, first of all, I'm glad you seem to be liking it, but I'm going to have to ask you to be careful. And for those of you who haven't read it- which is the vast majority of you- I'm going to have to ask you to be EXTRA careful. There are spoilers all over the place, on forums and Facebook pages and Tumblr... 

The heartening thing is that these spoilers don't pop out of thin air. Everything is tagged with spoiler warnings, which I really appreciate. But I know you lot. I know how impatient you can be. I know that if you're on a forum and you come to a post that's hidden behind a spoiler warning, and all it takes is one little click... I know how tempting it is to just sneak a teeny tiny peek...

Which could ruin the entire book for you.

We have, what, 35 days until it's widely available? That's a lot of days for mistakes to be made, or for something to slip out...

So be careful. I was never a fan of releasing this book so far in advance of the Ireland/UK date but I was convinced it was necessary in order to facilitate the tour. If it doesn't work out, it won't be happening again. I don't know what that would mean for any future Down Under tours, but I'll deal with that if it crops up. 

So, I want to thank everyone for behaving themselves as far as spoilers go, and ask that they continue to be very, very careful about what they say. 

And also, some of those spoilers (of which I am allowed to read, because, y'know, I wrote the book) and your reactions to them have made me grin...

Nix is having mixxed emotions about being 'saved'
Nix would also recommend the caps lock

I don't like caps lock!

If you don't wanna be saved I could always make the shadows let go.

Oh I am not going. You misunderstood my message I was actually saying bye to Lynx.

And hello Rein but My name isn't Jazz Eggs but Jazz E-G-S. It stands for the previous website I made and also (as some have made this mistake by automatically assuming it as a stereotype) I have nothing to do with Jazz Hands or the musics Jazz

Sir said...

Maybe I should call you Jazzy Eggman. Or scrambled eggs.

Anonymous said...

And Congratulations rein

Sir said...

On being punched in the face?

I would prefer you not to call me any of the suggestions you made

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Uhm this is like super fast

I dedicate this page to Jekyll and Hyde, ninja penguins and Em's story

Jekyll and Hyde becuase I watched this musical and its awesome. 'Facade' is true about us and Jekyll had a point how good and dark our in war inside of us. He was smart exceot when he tested the formula on himself

Ninja penguins becuase I believe they are enemy to the Minions and I shall help stop them from eating the Golden God. Maybe I'll send them on Aussies jk jk...but they ninja penguins NINJA like awesome!!!

Em's story cus I read it and shall finally finish cuz the kids wouldnt lemme. But it is EPICA and Em is a brilliant writer. No words descrobe her talent

So, uh, no one minds that i talk to myself, yeah?

woooooo!

Noelle said...

*looks curiously*

A PERSON???
GOOD GOD ITS A MIRACLE

KALLIEEEE!!! *hugs*

Mary Contrary said...

Sir Derek?
I have a question to which I need an answer.
I understand that, usually, the release of Paperback Editions of Books tend to be released later than the Hardcover Editions.
However, being my odd self, I cannot get the Hardcover Edition. It HAS to be Paperback.
Amazon doesn't state the release date for Paperback- Or even a cover picture.

So, Have you any idea of when the Paperback Edition is released, in the UK?
Thanks! ^-^

Mary Contrary said...

*coughs*
Well, that was unexpectedly formal...

Sir said...

I don't mind, personally. Formal is my middle name.

Niamhy Jay said...

Hello!

Noelle said...

WHERE THE HELL IS EVERYONE COMING FROM???

Hey NJ, Taia, Sir Rein!!!*hugs all*

*hands out Skul cakes*

I don't know if you read above, but Val and I started a band... :D

Mary Contrary said...

Greetings, Sir Reingington. A pleasure to make your accquaintance.

*drops the formality, and tackles NJ in a hug*
Hi NJ!!
How're you?

Sir said...

Hello! My surfing trip WAS TERRIBLE. On the first wave, I was almost caught it, but then the wave slowed down as I was moving forward on the board, so I literally ran off of my board. A few missed waves later, and I fell of the board, BROKE MY TOE on someone else's board, and then my board flipped over. So that was fun.

Noelle said...

Awww!!! You broke... Your toe???

It it in a toe cast?

Sir said...

That's not the name for it... But I do suppose that you're closer to the truth than not.

Niamhy Jay said...

*hugs everyone*

How're you all??

Sir said...

My toe is broken. And yourself?

Star Inkbright said...

Hi Taia! Hi Adra! Hi Sir Formal Reinington! *has put Formal in the middle of his name as per instructions :P*

Hi Star! How're you?

Sir said...

I WAS on. Do you not remember? I was kidnapped and tied to a balloon. Quite a pickle.

Niamhy Jay said...

I'm alright.

Noelle said...

I remember because I was the one that KIDNAPPED YOU.
