Thanks for the linkage :) Yeah, I was a bit wary when I first started "In the Eye of Heaven", but it didn't take me long to get into the story. Sure, it had a lot of stylistic and execution issues, but the book also showed a lot of promise. Personally, it reminded me of a cross between Glen Cook and David Gemmell, with some Erikson and horror elements thrown in... All stuff I enjoy :)
I actually just posted a collaborative interview we did with David, which turned out pretty well I thought. I actually would have asked you and Ken to participate, but I didn't realize that you two had received copies as well until I had already set things up...
Well, if I had known about the interview, I would have waited a bit and have linked to it then and there! I'll go read it in a few minutes.
