Anyone read Destiny's Way yet?

Post by Mr. B »

i'm on a tight budget and wonder if is worth buying. Or if it is a piece of shit I should try and get a copy from the library.

It's okay. I would buy it in soft-cover. There's really no rush, if you're strapped for cash.

Once again the MoO comes through. Thanks, I'll just ask for it for christmas, or for barnes and noble gift certificates. It's all good.

Well, I'd get it if I could find a fucking copy of it. I've been looking everywhere! Even the local Barnes & Noble doesn't have it!

Yes. If your tight on cash, wait for the soft cover. Its a good book, but over priced.

You can order it at Amazon.com, and Barnes and Nobles will usually order you books, but if I were you I'd really just wait for the soft-cover. They usually come out a couple months after the hard-covers.

<- no credit card so online ordering isn't possible

I'll just wait for the softcover, and hope the next novel doesn't spoil the contents too badly.

You could get a check card if you have a checking account. i have one through US bank and it works just like any other VISA card.

That book was fucking crap. I got it the day it came out and read it by the next day. It fucking sucks. It's half way entertaining at times, and just down right shitty the rest. Either myself or MoO can give you the run down and you'll be the better. I haven't seen shit like this since Vector Prime.

Hey Wright, I don't think your post was clear enough. Could you say "fucking" a few more times? ;)

Seriously though, I think I'll just wait for the softcover. I prefer to buy local anyways since its not a big deal to return something.

Pretty good, but wait until it comes out in softcover. Not worth the extra hardcover money.

When describing a book like that, you can never use the word 'fuck' or 'fucking' too many fucking times. It was almost a worthless piece of fucking shit. It had some excitement here, and there. Some interesting things about it. Yet, as someone has mentioned, the characters just did not fit. They acted alot different than they have before. In fact the most glaring bit is Palleon. So in essence, unless your like me and want the hardcover so it can go with the collection just over look the fucking book.

You sound like Lord Poe during his review of The Crystal Star.

Destiny's Way wasn't that bad. I wouldn't recommend buying it now, but it's certainly worth $6.99 US.

It is horriable. Just imagine sucking donkey balls and that would be what reading most of the book is like.

No need. I'll just e-mail Arminius and ask him what it's like.

I actually enjoyed Destiny's Way, FWIW. It was too short for a hardcover, though.

/me thinks Wright is confusing Destiny's Way with Traitor. :D Now THAT was an aweful book.
