The original version is out of print, although there is a revised version that is more expensive. However, there is an omnibus edition of the original trilogy just called <i>Wraeththu</i> that is still in print (this is the version I have). Perhaps your library would have that version instead. In any case, good luck finding a copy!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01700004253248186101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146259764837045872.post-1589242750870365232009-08-05T21:17:36.654-04:002009-08-05T21:17:36.654-04:00Actually, I think I just will *grin*Actually, I think I just will *grin*oranniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14007355589161084262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146259764837045872.post-9249366449925505682009-08-05T21:17:16.381-04:002009-08-05T21:17:16.381-04:00Sometime after you read that, I hope you read Wrae...<i>Sometime after you read that, I hope you read Wraeththu.</i><br /><br />The first book (whose name eludes me) is on my list but my library don't have it :( I'm either going to have to go secondhand book hunting here or buy it online.oranniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14007355589161084262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146259764837045872.post-12659791041208303362009-08-04T19:30:07.341-04:002009-08-04T19:30:07.341-04:00Orannia - It is!

I liked it, but it wasn't anything near the level of The Doctrine of Labyrinth (but then, that's one of my two favorite series so most books are not as good as that one as far as I'm concerned). The First Law is more darkly humorous and it has a wide cast of characters, none of which have anywhere near the depth of Felix or Mildmay.<br /><br />Jeff - You should add your reviews to the index! I think they are very helpful reviews.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01700004253248186101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146259764837045872.post-35551235949538918112009-08-03T14:42:12.916-04:002009-08-03T14:42:12.916-04:00thanks for the mention, Kristen!
