"Gilman has developed a fascinating, wholly unique magic system, and has peopled her complex world with strong, sympathetic characters and a couple of shocking plot twists. A terrific conceit done very well."
-- C. E. Murphy


She also said, and I quote without permission but she'll probably forgive me, "I was delighted with it."


*is happy*

There does seem to be a significant amount of buzz out there, in that this is 'something new', a rarity in the fantasy genre.

I've been talking it up at the bookstores I visit, so far all I have from one B+N is a promise to put it on the front display for a few days...

OtherJen actually asked permission to use that bit, so you're in the clear. :)

ROCK! I got a brilliant PR blurb for the Kinkaids from Mark Karan of the Dead and RatDog; he's giving me an entirely separate one for WMGGW. Galleys arrived today - which means Andy Summers, Bill Nighy and Julian Dawson should be getting theirs momentarily.

Meep. YAY GOOD BLURBAGE!

I'd be interested. But I am more working on the fact I buy between 400-500 books a year and at least 100 of those in 2 stores. The managers know me..

V. wonderful!

Um. you've sensibly disabled sending you a message, so this is also my way of letting you know I've added you to my friends list. I pay more attention to LJ than FB. I will glance at FB; I use my LJ time to actually pay attention.

I did? Oh-OK. I remember it as really darned mutual, actually.

No, I have No Idea how you didn't know I was on LJ, as... (lemme chack).... yes. That is one of the few details I bothered to put in my profile there: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/profile.php?id=629563541&ref=profile
