During a Gamescom Q&A panel earlier today, ArenaNet writer Ree Soesbee announced that she would be the one penning the highly anticipated third book in the Guild Wars 2 between-game trilogy. The title of the book will be Sea of Sorrows, and that's... kinda all we know about it right now.
If you're not following along at home, the first two books in this series are titled Ghosts of Ascalon and Edge of Destiny, both of which are part of the trilogy that tells the story revolving around the 250 years between Guild Wars 1 and Guild Wars 2. The impending release of this final novel in that trilogy simply brings us closer to an actual launch of Guild Wars 2 itself -- and possibly cures the world's hunger and brings world peace. We're not sure.
Stay tuned to Massively for more on Sea of Sorrows as it's unveiled!

Might be a good read.

The first two were good (although I'm partial to Ghosts of Ascalon so far) so I'm looking forward to this one too.

Agreed, I'm partial to that one as well though the two were good, second one just made me angry... *growls & grumbles*

I did hear her say that it will have something to do with the rise of Orr and the flooding of Lion's Arch. Looking forward to reading it.

What should I do!?
Play through all GW chapters, buy books and then hopefully GW2 will be out by then?
Or am I too late to start now?

Do those things regardless of when GW2 comes out. You will be having a great time anyways.

Listening to Ree's lore interview with wartower last night, I fell in love with her and her passion for GW2 lore. I'm so stoked for her to write this and get some legit recognition as a writer!

@MrFinesse326 that's a great thought, but writing novels based on MMOs is not likely to get anyone recognition as a great author. There's so many great books out there by real novelists, i can't see myself reading something like this(and i read fantasy novels every night), and frankly I am surprised people actually buy these things. No offense.
Great games based on novels ..i'm all cool with that, i just don't see it working the other way. Not saying they can't be "decent" books, but the next Lord of the Rings or Song of Ice and Fire isn't likely to be based on some MMO game.

The publisher, Simon &Schuster, has had the title and author listed with a march release on their website for at least a month.
The wartower lore interview with Ree was excellent if you are into lore.
