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 699 Views

Only her SF has been translated into English so far. Aeryn - 14/05/2010 09:24:19 PM 612 Views

Or, you could read it and tell me what happens. Aeryn - 14/05/2010 09:51:21 PM 631 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 243 Views
I'd tell you but I don't really remember... DomA - 16/05/2010 12:02:26 AM 519 Views
As Dom argues in Larry's link, there isn't really that much. Legolas - 14/05/2010 08:43:06 PM 564 Views
Drat. Curse the linguistic dominance of my native tongue! Ghavrel - 14/05/2010 09:17:32 PM 536 Views
Uh, not really, it's set in the 20th century. Legolas - 14/05/2010 09:40:34 PM 509 Views
Sounds interesting. I'll keep it in mind. Ghavrel - 14/05/2010 10:03:03 PM 583 Views

Know what's pathetic? I forgot about Jules. Ghavrel - 16/05/2010 06:06:41 AM 527 Views
While you're reading 19th century (semi-)spec-fic books... Legolas - 16/05/2010 10:51:20 AM 514 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 596 Views
You know him? Impressive. Legolas - 17/05/2010 10:12:20 AM 533 Views
