Sheila overnighted me an advance final copy of A MAGIC OF TWILIGHT (out next month!), and it arrived this morning. It's nice to hold the book in my hand and see it in final form. (I smelled it, too -- there's a lovely aroma to new books which always takes me back to childhood and that first fascination with the written word...)
Enclosed with the book were a couple reviews I hadn't seen yet.
From Charlene Brusso, reviewing in BLACK GATE: "Readers familiar with Farrell's amazing 'Cloudmages' series will pick up this first book in a new series with a pretty good idea of what to expect; all others are likely to be happily blown away by the gorgeously detailed setting and intriguing characters. Then there's the tangled knot, knitted up of at least seven different kinds of treachery. All told, this is a fantasy novel to settle down with for a nice, long time... Farrell's world-building is, as always, impressive: intricate and well-thought out. The intrigues pulling characters one way and another are complicated, and keeping up with all the characters throughout the headlong plot is a challenge -- but it's an entertaining challenge, one which repays the reader's work with a vivid rich story of treachery, hope, faith, and snarled loyalties as complex as the city that houses them."
From Publishers Weekly: "Farrell easily wields an immense cast of characters, many of whom take narrative turns. Readers who appreciate intricate world building, intrigue, and action will immerse themselves effortlessly into this rich and complex story."
Very nice! Can't wait for everyone to have a chance to read it -- you are going to read it, aren't you? :-)
