A Fire Born of Exile, by Aliette de Bodard, is described as a "standalone sci-fi romance", however based on other books I've read by de Bodard, and on feedback I received regarding an earlier de Bodard book, Fireheart Tiger, which was described as a "romantic fantasy", I'm posting it here, and will cross-post to the romance thread. In any case, it's £0.99 in the UK right now, and given that I just now noticed the posts about the Gollancz sale, probably as part of that. Oh yeah, set in de Bodard's Xuya universe.

If anyone's after Ken Liu's The Wall of Storms (The Dandelion Dynasty #2), it's currently 99p from Kobo in the UK - 89p for VIPs.
It's another one of those irritating cases where it might have been that price for weeks but no one's noticed as Amazon haven't dropped their price and that obviously cuts out any help from eReaderIQ. |

Amazon is also doing games. I see the reduced price on Amazon USA and Amazon UK, if not logged in, but the full prices when logged into either account a Kindle uses. By default Ireland has to use UK store for Kindle, though you can have prices in US$ instead of UK£. The US setting used to be really USA, but now is simply the £ converted to $ and same georestrictions. Occasionally the Kobo UK or Amazon UK ebook isn't available at all in Ireland, which is very odd. The near Cartel world carve-up of "rights" for books in English always assigned Ireland and UK as one block. Even ISBNs for Ireland are only available from the UK agency. |
