Lamentation by Ken Scholes the Discussion Thread Jacob Send a noteboard - 06/11/2009 04:57:27 PM
Welcome, everyone, to the LAMENTATION Discussion. Feel free to post reactions to the story, thoughts about the world, plot, characters, reviews, and especially any questions.

Try to keep spoilers out of the subject line, but always assume that there are spoilers in every post. If you would like to ask questions about the book, but haven't read it yet, feel free to ask. Anyone that responds to a question with a request for no spoilers, please respect that wish. ;)

After a while, I will start posting some thoughts, or start responding discussions already started.

Enjoy!

(Remember that anyone posting in this thread, a related topic or question, and had access to an US mailing address, will be entered into the drawing for 1 of 3 copies of CANTICLE, the second book in the series.)

Update: I am closing the CANTICLE Giveaway contest. I have 8 people who are qualified through participation in the discussion or by posting a review on the MB.
