If I recall correctly, there was implicit homosexuality with the ‘lower’ ranked dragonriders, and when Lessa’s queen has her first mating flight, the scene with F’lar is somewhat rape-y. (It’s been years since I read them, so I may be mis-remembering.)

To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis is on sale for $2.99 at Amazon.

Quote:
From Connie Willis, winner of multiple Hugo and Nebula Awards, comes a comedic romp through an unpredictable world of mystery, love, and time travel...

Ned Henry is badly in need of a rest. He's been shuttling between the 21st century and the 1940s searching for a Victorian atrocity called the bishop's bird stump. It's part of a project to restore the famed Coventry Cathedral, destroyed in a Nazi air raid over a hundred years earlier.

But then Verity Kindle, a fellow time traveler, inadvertently brings back something from the past. Now Ned must jump back to the Victorian era to help Verity put things right--not only to save the project but to prevent altering history itself.

In which country? Offers are very often country-specific.

In my experience, when nothing is said about country restrictions in a post like this, it is reasonably safe to assume that the poster is from the USA, and that therefor the offer should likewise be assumed to be restricted to US customers unless and until evidence to the contrary surfaces.

As has been stated on the previous page of this thread when this offer was first announced here, the offer is not valid in Canada but is price matched by Kobo US, so it's safe to assume that it's US only.

Weird. I'd already bought The Hobbit, so I bought the three Lord of the Rings books @$2.99 a piece just now. Got the receipt, I own the books. But now when I look at the books, they are listed at $6.99 each. Did the sale end seconds after I made my purchase?

Sounds like you might have just been at the tail end of the sale, but I'd contact Amazon and perhaps they will get you fixed up.
Last night I bought the Fall of Gondolin and it went through at the sale price.

Brandon Sanderson's latest novella, Children of the Nameless, is free at "Magic the Gathering" website.

Blurb: Since the day she was born, Tacenda has been both blessed and cursed. When her protective spell fails in the night and her Kessig village is attacked, she seeks revenge against whom she believes responsible: the demon-consorting Lord of the Manor.

Eta the link is hopefully fixed.

The bundle of all four still shows at $11.96, but The two Towers and Return of the King show as $6.99 a piece. Weird.

Oops I forgot to clean the link. Hopefully it's done now but doing it from a tablet is a pain. Let me know if it doesn't work.

Thanks!

Raymond E. Feist's horror novel Faerie Tale is $1.99 at Amazon. I shared this on the horror thread, but since Feist is primarily known as a fantasy author, I thought it might be of interest here. I suppose you could classify the book as extremely dark fantasy. He spells fairy 'faerie', so you know it's serious.

Quote:
Phil Hastings was a lucky man—he had money, a growing reputation as a screenwriter, a happy, loving family with three kids, and he'd just moved into the house of his dreams in rural of magic—and about to be altered irrevocably by a magic more real than any he dared imagine.

For with the Magic came the Bad Thing, and the Faerie, and then the Fool . . . and the resurrection of a primordial war with a forgotten People—a war that not only the Hastings but the whole human race could lose.

It was pre-internet and mentioned in multiple places at the time (1980s?). I know I read about it in a now defunct scifi/fantasy magazine (Omni, I think it was called). It was also in the library review newspapers.

I highly recommend the story! I already have it though.
