I am looking forward to the new DS novel. Unfortunately, I got an email from Amazon (as I've already pre ordered the book) that the release date has been pushed back to March 2013, and when I tried to check out the product's page for more info, discovered it's actually no longer even available to pre order despite still being active in my orders, the page now only allows customers to register for an update when the book becomes available.
So who knows what's really going on with this. I'm not sure if that new release date is offical or what.
