Year of the Dragon

[mdnyttokr]

Just wanted to say that I wish AMoL would have been published in 2012. Because then, the final volume of the WoT would have been published in the Year of the Dragon on the Chinese calendar. As it is, it will be published in the Year of the Snake. More's the pity.

No, it'll still be the Year of the Dragon. The Chinese New Year doesn't follow the Western calendar. For them, the Year of the Snake starts on Feb 10th 2013.

Better the Dragon than the Year of the Great Sepent, I guess.

I don't know much about the Chinese calendar, but I am pretty sure it will still be the Year of the dragon on the day AMOL is published. The Chinese New Year is not on January 1st, but somewhere in February in 2013 IIRC.

 

*edit* Ignore this, I saw it was already explained better in the first reply, my bad.

problem is thw kindle edition. I hope the books are in stores on time for once in my life, one of the reasons I got the kindle was so I wouldn't have to wait three months to get a book or be forced to go through the hasle of ordering it online.
