DARK TIDE IN SPAIN!? HOPE RECEDING

DARK TIDE IN SPAIN!? HOPE RECEDING

Now Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events was published to the last book in Scandinavia.
In Spain, sadly, it wasn't. The last novel translated was number 8. (Luckily, there are fans who translated the novels in secret!!) SADLY, THE FANSLATIONS WERE BANNED BY MONTENA -- FUDGE THAT FANWORK BAN...
In Spain, the Ragorlang arc of W.I.T.C.H, which introduced Stephen (Irma's love interest) and let us return to Open Hill and to Charles and Louise Lyndon (<3) was not published either, while it was in Italy, Germany, Sweden... The same can be said of the middle chapters of the Book of the Elements arc, during which the heroines sought the elemental stones. The last arc, the Ladies arc, is also inedit in Spain. (Ditto for fans and piracy!!)
Is the Waterfire saga heading for the same blasted hell of No Export for You!? How come the new Astrid-centric novel has come out in Germany and in Denmark, and even in France already, but not in bloody Spain!? (It hasn't been published in Italy either yet)
Is the old story of Snicket or the Ragorlang repeating itself!?
Waiting at the Planeta page of Upcoming Releases day after day, and now that we are in May...
(What the seven hells!? They published Book 1 of the Zodiac Legacy in Spain, of a boy-centric series aimed at the same age group, already!? I want to cuss as loud as I can at them bloody b****rds!!)
Still, all we have to do is cross our fingers until our knuckles hurt. The furthest upcoming YA release is within 141 days: on the 20th of BLOODY SEPTEMBER.
That's it. I need a blasted drink. And to get my hands on Dark Tide in Denmark and/or in Germany (lucky me that can spend my holidays abroad and know foreign languages!!!).

DARK TIDE NOT YET IN SPAIN!?

DARK TIDE NOT YET IN SPAIN!?

An ostensible smiting of Astrid Kolfinnsdóttir fans. Either that or the book series has been Screwed By Planeta... I hope not (crossing my fingers so much that it hurts), but I check the Planeta Coming Soon website regularly and it says that:

• the latest youth novel to be released currently is scheduled for the 3rd of May
• the latest book of them all to be released is for the 7th of June

Which means that, hopefully, we'll get the third Waterfire book in summer this year. Should that not be the case, my Scandinavian ancestry has hopefully provided me with an ultima ratio...

Dark Tide is already out in Denmark, where it's published by Alvilda!!! So hopefully (and maybe come seven hells or seven heavens, if I already have got the Spanish version) I will get my hands on the Danish edition... The Danish publishing company is, moreover, named after a badass pirate/warrior queen from the Viking era... the like of Astrid herself!!!

PS. Heck, even in Germany will Dark Tide come out this April... so maybe I can get the story auf Deutsch as well. And it's also out in the Netherlands. Screwed by Planeta, right when things were getting interesting!? No, perchance not. Italy, like Spain, has not seen the release of the novel yet... but it's already been translated into Italian and French... so we seriously hope to get to read it this summer!!!
