Um, Martin is an American author.....why are so many other people reviewing this book in other languages? Has it seriously been released in other countries before the author's own? Not fair.

Zaharia Mihai Some people can read it in English and leave reviews in their native language for others to see if it's worth the wait/read or not.…moreSome people can read it in English and leave reviews in their native language for others to see if it's worth the wait/read or not.(less)
