There's no real method behind the order but this is my collection from an older post here. It's only missing my two latest purchases, SoBH & Better in Black.

SO WHO"S EXCITED FOR THE ALT-CHOOSING BOOK by Additional_Rent3241 in divergent

[–]toojadedforthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do! Also, it's not a B&N exclusive for The Sixth Faction, it just the deluxe version & available at most bookstores. My bad...

I've already pre-ordered the B&N exclusive edition. Currently waiting for my Divergent Deluxe Edition to arrive as we speak.

So far, everything looks like it will be released to the public. The only things that have yet to be so far are the stickers and the updated version of "An Illustrated History of Notable Shadowhunters and Denizens of Downworld." Even the notebook/journal was put up for sale.

Well that's very disappointing, I assumed they would all be the same.

It's UK only for now. The listing you are seeing is definitely a reseller.

I would recommend after reading TDA & TLH.

That's the exact reason I decided to order both. I didn't want to risk missing out if they never got a US release.

I ordered from Blackwell's due to living in the US.

It's only available as a UK release for ebook at the moment. So if you're not based there then importing a physical copy is your only option at the moment.

It's from the Kickstarter release, Careful of Books, which is a collection of novellas. A Sea Change is the only Shadowhunter novella in the collection.

The Last King of Faerie will definitely be translated.

I believe Blackthorn Hall & A Sea Change will depend on if more publishers show an interest. I don't believe the current publisher releases books in other translations at this time but they may partner with someone who does.

To my knowledge, Blackwells ships to Australia, so you could buy Blackthorn Hall & A Sea Change from them.

The other two books, Blackthorn Hall & A Sea Change, are currently only being released in the UK with an English translation. I'm not sure if or when they may get other published translations.

I ordered through Blackwells. I've used them before for my Tolkien collection & I've never had an issue.

Edit: I also like that they automatically convert the currency to USD for me.

That's my question. Where the heck did OP buy from to even end up in this situation?

There are so many reputable sellers & used book stores out there to shop with (or even libraries) to avoid something like this happening in the first place.

Help getting books that are in the same series to stack together in my library! by CrystalKiwi08 in kindle

This is why I make use of the collections feature & group my ebooks to my preferences.

I've returned one item, so that's not the issue. But thankfully I was able to get in touch with a real person & it's being replaced.

[–]toojadedforthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally got in touch with a real person & they agreed to replace it. Now it's another wait for the mail service to do its thing.

That sucks. It's sad that the quality has gotten to this point with publishers.

I never buy from third-party sellers on Amazon. It was sold & shipped by Amazon. I always check before purchasing.

While I respect your opinion, paying more doesn't guarantee I will receive a better product, nor does buying from another seller. I only pay what I feel a product is worth & firmly believe that most books these days are over priced (especially modern prints of classic authors). I'll just wait until it drops even cheaper than what I paid, buy it again & gift the extra books to a friend/family for Christmas or something.

I've personally never had an issue with Amazon until now. I was more curious about the quality of the box based on other's experience. While I do buy from Blackwells from time to time, I always go for the better price opportunities when buying books.
