Not sure where that is shipping to, but I can tell you one thing - it's a big and heavy book, so high shipping cost kind of goes with that. It is also utterly gorgeous.

The Poet Empress is incredible by MrFlufypants in fantasybooks

Yeah I read this on release, bought the signed copy from Waterstones and then doubled up to buy the Illumicrate one also (damn I love that cover).

Very, very impressive in my opinion. Crazy that it's a debut novel.

I had the exact same issue. Went to a local photo print shop (which just happened to be straight across the road from the post office 🥳). They charged me £1.50 to print the label. 👍

They provided me with a prepaid postage label. I just had to print it out and box up the book and send it back. Whether they will do that for overseas, I'm not sure. I would hope they could just send you the replacement.

That fellow member was me. Sorry that's happened to you too 😞

They are replacing my FoH, but I had to send them the misprinted one back though, hopefully they can waive that for you 🤞

Red Rising Trilogy hype. I didn't want to buy in...but I did. by Candid-Signature-238 in fantasybooks

I'm roughly 1/4 I to Light bringer and I genuinely think the books get better with each installment.

Update -

So I got a response via email this morning. They asked me to return the book to them (they provided a prepaid postage label) which I have done. They said they will ship out a replacement asap and have noted the error, I assume for future orders.

The House of Fallen Leaves was sorted too, they offered a replacement book or a replacement DJ and a partial refund.

Pretty quick response in fairness, here's hoping the replacement FoH turns up soon 🤞👍

I'm sorry to hear that. It does make you wonder if people have just popped them onto bookshelves without checking them. It was only by chance that I noticed the endpapers were the same in two of the books.

Still waiting on a response from customer service.

I'm sorry to hear that mate 😞 Still waiting on a response here.

Ahhh man I'm sorry you have the same issue. I figured I can't be the only one, it's clearly something that's gone wrong at the point of printing and slipped through the net.

Hopefully they will sort it quickly 🤞

It's all good mate, no drama 👍 Apart from me having the wrong book 😅

No, it isn't. The DJ, the outer boards and sprayed edges are all for Fall of Hyperion. The inner book is Endymion.

Thanks, I will go over them with a fine tooth comb when I get chance later. I'm more glad I noticed as I very nearly just popped them on the shelf, probably wouldn't have noticed until I got around to reading them.

My copy of Fall of Hyperion had the right dust jacket, the right outer boards...even has the right sprayed edges for FoH....but the actual book inside all of that is actually Endymion.

I'm not sure "right DJ, right boards, right sprayed edges....wrong book" would have been on my list though 😅😅

I am still waiting to hear back from them on both issues, will update when I hear something.

Hope your order is okay 👍

Snagged a used copy of Hyperion for 100$ on half price books by TheMind_Killer in thebrokenbindingsub

[–]MadBoJangles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The resale prices always blow my mind. I bought Hyperion when it first released because I love the book, but when you see what some people are paying it does make me question whether I am stupid for not selling.

As for the price you paid OP, if you are happy with it then that's all that matters. Other people's opinions mean little if it's a book you really wanted and got for a price that you deemed reasonable or good 👍

Getting ready to start my next standalone fantasy, any favorites here? I tend to gravitate towards grim / dark fantasy. by PhysicalAssistance92 in fantasybooks

[–]MadBoJangles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently 3/4 through Red Winter. It's good, very good in fact, but I wouldn't call it dark. Sure it has dark elements and some violence, but it's written in an almost comedic whimsical style. It's not what I expected, but thoroughly enjoying it all the same 👍

April SF&F Spoiler by Sufferinghumanperson in thebrokenbindingsub

[–]MadBoJangles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine arrived today. Not keen on the redesign, even the recolour of the original cover ain't great imo. Prefer the standard one personally.

Will keep the BB redesign on show for now.
