Most Underrated Novel of 2009

[sleigh]

Pat of Pat's Fantasy Hotlist has posted his yearly "Hottie" awards. As I've mentioned before, A Magic of Nightfall placed #9 in his Top Ten Novels of 2009. In the Hottie's, he's also listed Nightfall this way:

MOST UNDERRATED NOVEL AWARD

- S. L. Farrell's A Magic of Nightfall (Canada, USA, Europe)

Farrell's The Nessantico Cycle is one of the better ongoing fantasy series out there. You should give A Magic of Twilight (Canada, USA, Europe) a shot.

While being "most underrated" is rather one of those left-handed compliments (though it's certainly better than being "most overrated" -- though I'll wager that the 'most overrated' book earns far more money for its author...), I certainly have to agree with Pat on that last sentence! Try A Magic of Twilight in mass market, and if you wait until March, you can get A Magic of Nightfall in its mass market edition... and then you'll be forced to get A Magic of Dawn in hardcover in April with its lovely new Lockwood cover.... Mwah hah hah --- it's all an evil plot!

We've always known you're a Hottie, Steve.

Despite it being an evil plot, I get the feeling you are using your powers only for good, even if mere mortals can't begin to grasp the complexity of your literary machinations.

Now I have to go looking for a book.
