I tried to hold back until July so I could say 'next month', but apparently the cover design and back cover blurb will be released tomorrow.

Anyone have thoughts and/or predictions they'd like to obsess over for a couple of months?

Thank you for that information and checking. She quoted him again the same in a later chapter so I thought it can’t have been a mistake but now you have confirmed it.
i am loving the book so far.

I did really love it but that was because of Robin and Strike and all the incidental details more than the actual plot. It was a bit hard work keeping track of all the character names. If I hadn't been reading on my kindle I would have been flicking back a lot to recap. Also I guessed correctly (only through luck however). I'm still sad to finish though!

About a quarter of the way through and LOVING it!
Praying that JK is currently writing the next instalment🤞🏻

Initially found the online conversations tricky to navigate but fine with them now.

Can't imagine how I hadn't noticed this novel was in the pipeline, let alone already out, but I've just ordered it, yippee!

FlyingSquid - I don’t know. I kind of like how it’s a little girl who sees through all the bull and madness! ‘The emperor has no clothes!!!’

I'm enjoying it. I'm not too far from the end - no spoilers - and it's really kept my interest

burnoutbabe · 08/10/2022 00:18

Just finished, was a slog but was from library so only got 3 weeks.

It really didn't need to be 1000 pages. And I often got confused as to real name /mod names (once revealed)

Be glad of a break, had to read number 5 over 3 weeks in September to be ready for this. Luckily 2 years until next one!

BalloonSlayer · 22/10/2022 17:42

Just finished it - now feeling better.

There was something incorrect in it that Strike and Robin didn't mention, not sure it was deliberate or a mistake. About a family relationship. Anyone else spot it?

Sorry to be vague, it says no spoilers Grin

Come into the spoiler thread! I need to know if I missed anything.

ShamedBySiri · 26/10/2022 23:19

I'm about 1/4 way through, it's taken me a bit to really get into it, with all the mod chat bits - I wonder how that is done on audible, I think I'd find it really hard to follow if I wasn't reading it and couldn't flick back through.
Anyway, I'm holed up with bloody covid, and now my eyes aren't burning so badly I can truly devote myself to the book for the next few days, so great timing!

I have just posted about something similar on the spoilers thread but obviously I don't know if it's the same thing you're referring to!
