(Well...I'm UK, and I've never even heard of them before... plus, I have a very long list of what I need to buy... but I very much enjoy 'non-required' reading. Though, is the Annotated Chronicles a separate book/s or literally the books but with notes by characters or something?) Death because I ache right now. Damn you stage combat! (Drama courses are not fun when you're the one getting 'beat up'. So much shoulder pain...)
