a great story, but a shame for the French editions

I read almost all sagas robin hobb, having already read all that there was to read about curling stone, I love his writing, but in this saga there, I did not like is that first I got screwed I started in paperback "I read" then I must continue paperback edition because no choice, that French cutting system for more gain takes your novel in two, making us books and some 250 pages, I who love the big books, I deg. tjrs of having to pay more for less, and the only detail that bothers me a bit in the saga "the cited ancient" is to be back in this mode, or it must be some PD stories These men who love men, I admit it bothers me that I care to go for a retro, that if it remains the very good fantasy ....
