I kind of hope we get two narrators.  One to do the male roles & another to do the female ones.  This is a multi narrative book, and it switches between male & female roles enough that it would help to have a dedicated male & female reader.

While male & female narrators can alter their pitch to do a passable representation of the alternate gender, it is hard to pull off.  Especially for multiple male & female roles like the book has.

BTW; Yes, I've read the book.  You could get one at SDCC if you followed the @acerocbooks Twitter.  I will likely review this weekend, as I have just finished it, but this is where my knowledge comes from.

Looking through the book, there are 6 different voices in total.  Male & female voices are a roughly equal, if you include the cat.  If you just count humans, there are more female voices.  So we likely will be looking at a female narrator.  If that's the case, I really would like Tara Strong if at all possible.

The prologue & 1st chapter were freely given out at the SDCC booth, & think if asked, Penguin would give the okay to release these.  I've already sent Pricisilla a PM on the matter.

At SDCC I acquired a Advanced Reader copy & on the back are a list of places, events & capaign where said advanced book is to be distributed. 

Only up to chapter 21, but so far it's a fun ride.  69 chapter in total, barring significant last minute changes.

If you are lucky enough to be at SDCC 2015, you should follow @acerocbooks

They've been randomly announcing giveaway passwords for a free copy of the advanced reader copy.

I've finally gotten permission to announce that Jim will be returning to San Diego Comic Con! That's the only event that hadn't been announced yet. No additional events will be added to Jim's schedule.

If I'm not mistaken, he's taking part in two SDCC events, correct?  The Science Fiction Author cosplay on Thursday & the signing on Friday?

Then again, the Author cosplay might be something unrelated, but it sounds like that calendar that Jim promoted on Twitter a while back.

Also, I've never been to a Author signing at SDCC, do you have to pick up a ticket at the Sails Pavilion, or do you just wait in line near the booth?

Kinda feels like this thread & the one about people going crazy, because of magic are somewhat related.

I do wonder if the term Black Magic is just generally applied, but the effects are different.

I mean, I'd think the Black Magic backlash for messing with somebody else's head, might be different than outright killing them.  Same goes for messing with the time stream & making undead.

Sure, Harry got away with making a Sue dino zombie, on a technicality.  But so far, we haven't been told he received a mental backlash from this.  If he doesn't get such a backlash from an animal, what's to say that making a zombie does anything different.  (I know Cowl was pretty loopy, but it might not have come directly from the Zombie spells.)

So, it raises the question if all that's labeled Black Magic causes specific backlash, or if its just all generally considered illegal, but only certain types of spells have effects on the user.

Just throwing out another series that manages multiple Third perspective without ending up a confusing mess.  The Grimnoir Chronicles, by Larry Correia.

Personally, I hope Butcher changes his multiple 3rd person format, so it's more a marathon of perspectives, rather a jumble of time skips.  I'm not sure if I'll be interested in following another series like Codex.
