A Quote from George

George RR Martin (grrm here on LJ) just gave us a very nice quote for A MAGIC OF TWILIGHT:

S.L. Farrell is a relative newcomer on the fantasy scene, but he writes like a seasoned pro. A MAGIC OF TWILIGHT is his best yet, a delicious melange of politics, war, sorcery, and religion in a richly imagined world peopled with a varied cast of haughty lords, scheming courtiers, beggars, priests, heretics, zealots, spies, assassins, torturers, tarts, and seductresses. They're vivid and memorable characters, and most are painted in shades of grey, my favorite color. Farrell's Nessantico evokes the Italian city-states of the Renaissance, especially Venice, but this is a Venice where magic works. It's a fascinating place, and one that I look forward to visiting again.

Thanks, George! -- that means a lot, coming from you. Glad you liked the book!
