i want to read this book before, thanks bethesda
I’ll wait until it get released in Spain and will buy it. I loved the first one. Offers a lot of details of the world of Tamriel and the events that happenned between the two games. I hope this one would be an epic conclusion of the invasion of Umbriel.
It would also be great that we could find in Skyrim some kind of reference of the events in theses books.
No pictures? I’m not reading
Still reading picture books? lol
more like you don’t know how to read. Novels don’t have pictures.
I think he was joking
Novels don’t have pictures. Have you seriously never read a book without illustrations? Play less videogames and read more books.
Blasphemy! j/k
cant i do both?at the same time? i used to read some books in oblivions loading time
Ditto, i finished a whole lee child in the loading times of deus ex HR
LOL. Beautiful painting on the cover of the book though. Hey Bethesda, any chance of that art being posted in some large wallpaper sizes?
So excited! I loved the first part. xx
It doesn’t appear to be in English? (Or indeed, any actual language?) Running Firefox 6.0.2.
maybe use a browser thats not meant for 13 year olds, and it will work
i hate people that hate stuff. Don’t you?
This book isnt going to have glitches and bugs right?
something that could keep me occupied on vacations/trips.
haha just kidding, 336 pages.. nice
Do I need to read the first TES novel, or can I just jump into this one?
you need to read the first, you won’t really understand this one if you don’t. Check Amazon, i got it for like 7 bucks (inc shipping), like last year
Cross-media transitions hardly ever turn out great, this is one of the unfortunate ones. A pretty generic author for a great game series. If there is one person that can take an amazing IP they didn’t make and work well with it, it’s Brandon Sanderson. I hope they hire him for the next novel.
I don’t. He has waaay too many of his own books that he needs to get out
Unimaginative, inconsistent lore written by a bland, generic author. Next time let Kirkbride do it for Azura’s sake…
Interesting. This will be a welcomed gem by fans of The Elder Scrolls story. I’m excited to learn more about the world, races, artifacts, lore, etc. to know it all better. I think that books related to games lend a more complete experience to the player… this comes just in time for the Skyrim release!
Oh, so “she’s” from Balfiera, is she? In a manner of speaking, I guess that’s true.
I like.
Sorry to say I think I’ll pass… I agree with Michael’s comment.
Is that a grammatical error in the second sentence?
Why u no put commas in second sentence, Greg Keyes?
Hey Ian, yeah, some commas would be nice, because they would highlight what the grammar should be, but I was thinking that “only things… was” should be “only things… were” – or am I wrong?
LOL sorry to make such a silly, negative comment about the great news for those who enjoy such things. I’ve just never been excited about game tie-in books. No offense intended to Greg Keyes or other authors of books of this type, but they always read to me more like very accomplished fan writing rather than “real” literature of the (Science Fiction or Fantasy) genre.
I’ve had it pre-ordered since it went up on Amazon, it should be here tomorrow so I’ll refrain from reading the preview.
Don’t blame the author, blame the piss poor editor.
I don’t think ill be reading this….the first one was quite a letdown for me and it had a horrible ending.
Well Duh, it was absent a conclusion. the ending hasn’t happened yet. I could be wrong, but that tends to be the point in a two parter.
a second one?! Must have!
ahhh shit, a typo. third word. I know, the irony, right?
Okay, so I just finished Lord of Souls yesterday night and it felt like there may be another novel to follow….anybody else who has finished it feel the same?
