I did not regret it. There are GIANT JUSTICE EAGLES and also, with two notable exceptions, all of the men are at best incompetent and all the women are badass in different ways.
I have never understood* why this series wasn't a HUGE success. It's epic in scale, has dozens of POV characters, is very tightly plotted (which for all its virtues Crown of Stars wasn't exactly), and has plenty of action and great, distinct characters. Plus, Giant Justice Eagles!
I didn't know she was revisiting this world, that's excellent!
* I know exactly why, and it pisses me off.
I get the impression the trilogy wasn't marketed very well, on top of all the other reasons.
Yup, it's coming out next year! I've heard her read bits from it twice now and I'm very excited.
Kameron Hurley. No, really, READ HER. <3 I was blown away the first time I picked up one of her books. She's a powerful writer and she wields her figurative pen like the weapon it is.
BTW, having met you twice now, I like imagining you laughing as you read. I think that it would be a fantastic experience for authors (getting to see you reading and laughing as you stumble across things that you love).
Whether I laugh or not depends on the book, obviously, but there's also definitely an extent to which I laugh at things that I suspect only I find funny.
And yes, Kameron Hurley! I can't wait for The Mirror Empire!
Want to spill who you think should have died at the end of Spirit Gate? There were a couple of people I thought could have bit it.
