Yay! Spoilers! Of course, this means I want the new book even more! (Then again, it will probably be worth the wait, riiiiiiiiight?)

At this rate, I am hoping Amazon will ship early. The book will take a bloody month to get here, they might as well speed it up a little.

*hyperventilates with excitement!*

Wheee, awesome :D
Hopefully MG will ship it right after the signing :D

Ahhh, I got nostalgic for the other three after reading that. Reads as well as ever! Thanks for sharing this with us!

Great excerpt. Hopefully I'm not giving anything away when I'm saying that this section made me laugh. A lot.

"You just lied to a priest."

"So did you."

"I lie to everyone. You're the good Dalnan boy."

Thank you!

I'm counting the days - I think the best way to pass the time is to reread the others. :)

I want to look, but I wanna wait the two more weeks, too. Augh, decisions!

Book is already on reserve at the local B&N

I love that Alec still calls the spell "that dog thing." Having just re-read the old books, it's great to see the ways the characters have--and haven't--changed.

Oh such a tease~ Am positively excited for the release! :)

excellent stuff. i just bought the first three and am going to re-read them before i buy shadows return.

thanks for posting the link :)

YAHOO! Brilliant! Thank you for this! I'm going to be a my Borders at 9am waiting for them to open on th 24th.

So is it the 24th yet?????? AHHHHH. I don't think I can wait that long. I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS.

*appetite now very well whetted*

AAAAh! *___*
This is SO great!!
Now I just have to manage to read the other three books in less than two weeks again ;D

klfjöadfsjösadjfa!!! How much longer? 14 days?! Thank goodness I'm pretty busy so time goes by quickly...

If things work out, my pre-order from Amazon will ship while I'm in Germany and will be waiting for me on my return.

I am so excited for this book :D

That was amazing! I'm almost happy I'll be out of town when it's released so that when I come back, it'll be here~ Thanks for making the wait even harder. XD;;

Thank you very much for linking to this! This sweetens the last two weeks of waiting up a lot!!! ♥

Yay!

Oooh it's like a birthday present [it's my birthday] XD *goes to read* Definitely better than spoilers.

I shall not fall for this. I SHALl not fall for this!!! *flails*

ha! ^_~

That was so absolutely fabulous and intriguing and there's only two weeks now... I'm SO excited for this and thank you so much, Lynn for having us read this!!

Just the dialogue and the bits of background and characters...lovely, lovely and it just whets my appetite for more as always. =)

I want it! I NEED it!

*wants!! Flails* Can has now please?!

Translation: I don't want to wait another 14 days! Going to be so hard. This whole bit makes me miss those boys terribly. I might have to start a reread till then in my spare time.

*bounces* I don't know if I'll be able to wait the next two weeks! :DDD

*bounces*

Eee!! Waiting two weeks is going to be AWFUL.

LOVE the first chapter excerpt ^__^

Time - it does not pass quickly enough when waiting for the release of a book...yet all too quickly when reading it.

I'm gonna go reread Traitor's Moon now.

Thanks a lot for posting this, Lynn :) It feels like I'm seeing old friends again.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!

!!!!

I had hoped there would be more... I kept hitting the down arrow, but to no avail. There was nothing else there to read. :(

I can't wait until the 24th.

OMG! Alec has a braid! :D

And I am so freaaaaaking pumped now, omg come on and let it be the 26th already...

Ohh, I didn't realize how much I missed Alec and Seregil until I read that. They're the same characters we love, but they're bound to be a bit different after their experiences - I can't wait to see how they've grown, and get to know them all over again.

Hmm, reading that might have been a mistake, as now I'm going to be wriggling even more impatiently until the book is in my hands. :D

Ah, thank you, that was a wonderful excerpt, very exciting, amusing, and nostalgia inducing ^__^ I really can't wait to read the actual book x3 *will march straight to book store on the day it comes out*

DO WANT! *grabby motion*

oh god! Still two weeks. I've been rereading your books over the last few weeks now and .. i. can't. wait. anymore.
It will be soooooo good to read about all those characters again. You could almost say I missed them. D=

You are so, so good to us!!

Oooh~!
Wonderful. I'm still not quite done rereading Traitor's Moon, but now I'm doubly excited to get Shadow's Return in my hands. Thank you so much for the link! ^-^

*shrieks with delight*
Ooooh, thank you! Lovely as ever (especially Alec's behaviour at the temple is just precious). And it's so good to see them all again.
*cuddles a bunch of surprised characters*

And it isn't even my birthday! :D
I love Valerius. Seriously, the man is made of pure *awesome*. XD Oh, and of course I love the boys (erm) beyond anything.
DAMN, now my stomach's doing this thing that it does when I'm excited in a good way, like summersaults and real fast roller coasters. XD

*fangirl SQUEEE :D*

Such a good selection too. I like how much we're in Seregil's head here.

Thank you!

OMG <3

kyaaaaah, i want it, i want it, i absolutely want to read that book.. if i hadn't exams i would be here reading the first three books all over again! I missed Alec and Seregil so much ç_ç
can't wait 'till 24th... arg, no... have to wait more *cries*

note the 1st - Fantastic as always!!

note the 2nd - This makes it even harder to wait until the 24th...that and the 24th is a Tuesday and I most likely won't have access to a car until that Saturday...gaaaah

*bounces*

Why isn't it here yet!?!
