It has to be rather annoying when that happens, translations ending halfway. Legolas Send a noteboard - 14/05/2010 09:45:00 PM
I know the Dutch translation of the Malazan Book of the Fallen, for instance, ended after the first two books - didn't sell well enough because from the relatively limited pool of people who were interested in the first place, most just bought the books as they came out in English. But for the fans whose English isn't good enough to do that... sucks.

You'll have to learn French, then, I guess? ;)

Looking for modern French fantasy. Fantasy that's written in French, that is. Francophone Fantasy. Ghavrel - 14/05/2010 08:15:05 PM 733 Views

Or, you could read it and tell me what happens. Aeryn - 14/05/2010 09:51:21 PM 660 Views
*lol* If I ever read the series, remind me to get back to you on all that. *NM* Legolas - 14/05/2010 10:02:11 PM 255 Views
I'd tell you but I don't really remember... DomA - 16/05/2010 12:02:26 AM 547 Views
As Dom argues in Larry's link, there isn't really that much. Legolas - 14/05/2010 08:43:06 PM 597 Views
Drat. Curse the linguistic dominance of my native tongue! Ghavrel - 14/05/2010 09:17:32 PM 565 Views
Uh, not really, it's set in the 20th century. Legolas - 14/05/2010 09:40:34 PM 544 Views
Sounds interesting. I'll keep it in mind. Ghavrel - 14/05/2010 10:03:03 PM 609 Views

Know what's pathetic? I forgot about Jules. Ghavrel - 16/05/2010 06:06:41 AM 560 Views
While you're reading 19th century (semi-)spec-fic books... Legolas - 16/05/2010 10:51:20 AM 546 Views
I read Leroux in English a while ago, so that's out. But yeah, Alix is good. Ghavrel - 17/05/2010 03:03:37 AM 630 Views
You know him? Impressive. Legolas - 17/05/2010 10:12:20 AM 564 Views
