Sorry if this post is in the wrong place...Hi Pete,<br /><br />Sorry if this post is in the wrong place I couldn't find an email address.<br /><br />My name's Joe and I work for Blip Publishing, here's an excerpt of our new book "Slabscape: Reset":<br /><br /> “Dielle opened his eyelids a fraction, kidding himself that if<br />something horrible was about to happen, he could avoid it by snapping<br />them shut again. His pupils contracted in the bright light and darted<br />from side to side, taking in details that his brain found almost<br />impossible to process. Gradually he allowed his eyes to widen as Sis<br />compensated for the adrenaline rush and stabilised his cortisol<br />levels. They were standing in bright daylight on a recreation platform<br />scattered with morph-frames, floatshades and variable tables.<br />Everywhere he looked, he saw buildings and platforms; gigantic slender<br />towers of tessellated mirrors hundreds of stories high, smaller<br />structures with surfaces that swallowed light or modified it in<br />brain-tickling ways and slender tendrils which joined the towering<br />spires or curved into the hazy distance. Their platform was edged with<br />shimmerail, a chest-high barrier which transformed from its barely<br />visible default state into an opaque, solid wall as he approached it.<br /><br />He looked down over the edge. Below them was a three dimensional<br />matrix of buildings, walkways and public spaces all of them lit by the<br />ubiquitous sunlight that seemed to cast no shadows. It was a vast<br />sprawling metropolis, filled with light and space and teaming with<br />people. And as far as Dielle could tell, every building, bridge and<br />platform was floating… ‘A floating city in a landscape on a<br />spaceship.’ ‘It’s not a landscape, silly. This is Slab. It’s a<br />Slabscape’.”<br /><br />I'd love to send you a review copy or even some more information, could you provide me with an email address?<br /><br />Kind regards,<br /><br />Joe Bailey.Joe J.

The ending, well done or not, took too long to get too and I was just worn out.<br />Don't get me wrong, I like the book and Sanderson's writing in general, and I've just got my hands on the next Wheel of Time book and it makes Way of Kings look small!<br />I'm glad you were engaged by the book, and you're right it is a well-done introduction to a new world. A part of me just wishes it was smaller, so I don't feel burnt out by the end.<br />I know it's harsh to criticise a book simply because I found it to long, but there you go ...<br />Trust me though, I'll still read numbers two onwards.

My edition, and the one I have seen elsewhere, is this one: http://img.amazon.ca/images/I/51WC999OnyL._SS500_.jpg<br /><br />Your review is very interesting. I'm curious as to what specifically you found dragging about the end. Many reviews I've read criticize slowness and too much detail in the early middle of the book. In my opinion, the ending was really engaging and fast-paced, and the book as a whole was pretty well-done for an introduction to a whole new world. I'd like to hear more of your thoughts.Mia Mannshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07650015788907711393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864891433046885139.post-37679408866052859722010-02-10T23:49:42.411+11:002010-02-10T23:49:42.411+11:00I know what you mean.

Which means that despite my love of fantasy a few of my favourite authors have missed out altogether: Marion Zimmer Bradley; Anne McCaffrey; Robin McKinley; David Eddings. <BR/><BR/>I was about to get miffed about the inclusion of Dracula without Frankenstein, but the saw that Frankenstein was there but not bolded.

I enjoyed 'Civil War' way more than this.<BR/>IMHO as Bendis' fame rises his ability to pull it off drops.Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06096817906022705226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864891433046885139.post-7160503750764420652009-01-19T15:15:00.000+11:002009-01-19T15:15:00.000+11:00Okay, what the hell was with Secret Invasion?
