I haven't read it in its entirety yet and I still only have the second edition (the one in the Amarantine Deluxe Edition), but from what I've read, it sounds beautiful. :wub: One of the poems made me tear up last night..but silly me, I can't even remember the name. :P

I had it on order on HMV.co.uk a while ago but it never got shipped so I cancelled it. :arrr: Same happened with the Deluxe Edition of Amarantine! :lol: So I still haven't read it.

I love it. I didn't think I would, but I do. The poetry is beautiful, and the story is very interesting. It's almost like one big riddle or parable. B)

Maybe all the competition riddles are hidden in the book somewhere. :funky:

:lol: Seriously though, I've wondered about that myself. I'll have to look and see what it has to say about winter and narcissus. ^_^

I've often wondered if the book had the riddles in it myself..I just got the first edition yesterday, I was surprised to see that Amazon UK shipped it out so quickly, only about a month's wait..I read some of the poetry last night..I love it..:wub: I just wish I had more time to go further in-depth with the reading..ah, if not this week, maybe next.

Well, I have both editions, but haven't read much of them, but from what I have read, I really enjoy them. I really like the poem "The Way Obsidian Sings", from the second edition.

 

Oh, and btw, David, I have an 2 extra copies of the Deluxe Edition on hand, if you're still looking for a copy... :rolleyes:

Thanks. ^_^ But I'm not really that bothered about getting it anymore tbh, I need to save my money atm for when I go to New York! :D

I didn't say you had to pay for the copy of the Box Set, I was going to make it a gift to you, but since you're not interested any longer, I won't bother you with it, then. <_<

There's no need to be like that, I just assumed you wanted me to pay for it. :lol: And I could never accept a gift worth £30 from someone off the internet! :o I'd feel terrible.

I still have to finish both editions. :o I've been reading on and off very sporadically.

I never did get this book. :(

You must, David. :o

I usually lose interest in these sorts of books tbh, so I probably won't bother. :(

Why is that?

I dunno, just not very into books tbh! Fiction books are alright, but something a bit more "natural" like 'Water Shows the Hidden Heart' wouldn't really interest me I feel. :(

You might be surprised..you like poetry, right?

I don't mind it. ^_^ Not that keen but it's alright yeah. ^_^

Roma has some good poems in there. :)

Oh is a lot of it poetry? I thought it was just a book on how she invented Loxian. :lol:
