Grimdark Fantasy discussion

So I finished Low Town yesterday. Absolutely loved it. I want to dive right into the second book.

Problem: My library, I just found out yesterday, only had Low Town on ebook. They don't have the 2nd or 3rd book in either format. :(

Another library I'm a member of at least has the physical book versions. I may have to do those instead. They are much harder to deal with, especially on a bus (I read much during my bus rides to/from work).

For now, I decided to jump back into a reread of the book(s) that really got me hooked on Fantasy in the first place (The Sword of Shannara trilogy).

So I found out that my library has a program where you can suggest a book purchase. So I suggested the 2nd and 3rd Low Town books in kindle format.

Today I got a response saying that the book is out of print or unavailable in the format requested (from their source and it said they don't go through 3rd party vendors like Amazon).

Grrr...:(

Chris, you just made my day. for some reason, I thought that only the first book of the trilogy was published. More Low Town books! :-D

Brittany - waiting for the next book is the biggest of all my first world problems.

I think it's those of us that won't start those unfinished book series that are more impatient. I've been burned too often and don't have the patience to wait.

If I don't start it, I'm not nearly as impatient waiting for the next installment. There's always other books/series I haven't read yet that are just calling my name with a sweet voice.
