Hey guys,
Normally I wouldn’t ask, but if anyone out there speaks German and frequents German SF/F sites, could you tell me if Book 2 hit the shelves and what sort of feedback is it getting? German Amazon is not exactly helpful, because I don’t know the scale of German rankings. The second book is hovering around 200-300 on German Amazon, but I haven’t the foggiest what it means. If it was US, I’d be a bit worried, but then it’s priced above the normal trade paperback, so maybe I shouldn’t be worried. Argh. Anyway. Any emails would be appreciated.
Sorry. O_o.
Book 2 just arrived at my bookstore. They sent me the email this morning.
My mom works in a bookstore and she says that book 2 is almost sold out.She have to order it again because there’re too mmany people who want to read it…So I say it’s really great:)
By the way I love it…
As far as I can see the ranking at amazon.de is now Nr. 219 (in all books) and Nr. 28 in the category Fantasy – here are too many Black Daggerhood and Lara Adrian books above.
As I will definetely recommend your books to anyone I know I’ll try my best to push it. Love your series
My husband is waiting for it to arrive, he cant speak english and is envious of the books i already have. Isn`t this luxury? I get your books in 2 languages on MY shelf, he can read the german books, but they are going on my shelf. I discoverd you, so your books are MINE
…all of them in my living room, that is.
Hey,
don’t worry I think the major bestseller lists react very slow to new releases in Germany. The book is sold very well in Germany as far as I can see. I think you will have to ask the German publisher for the details.
You can have a look on the German bestseller list on:
http://www.hugendubel.de (Hugendubel Bestseller List / Hugendubel is like Barnes & Noble the biggest book seller in Germany)

& (Buchreport makes the bestseller list for Spiegel)

I think personally in maybe two weeks you will find “Die dunkle Flut” on the bestseller list. Good Luck and have a nice week-end.
An update:
. But since when does Kate have a floral tattoo on her face? Did I really miss that one in the descriptions?!
Book 2 is currently rank 1002 in books and 75 in the fantasy subcategory of SF/F & Fantasy.
The coverart of the German books is amazing, I have to say I prefer them over the US ones. Even though there is no sight of Currans beast
About prices: at 12,65 € the German one is heavier on the pocket than the US one for 4,80 €
Anyway, I would never survive until the German release dates. Tomorrow, On the Edge is racing my way
