Thanks, Barsoomcore. I'll share this with my friends to continue to try to make some converts. Interesting article... One thing I wasn't sure about though was that he seems to say there is a lot of internal inconsistency -- he does go on to say it's realistic and a good thing, but that wasn't something I've really noticed at all. You?
I'm still reading Midnight Tides. Have gotten sidetracked by a few things and busy with work. Let me know when you finish.
