ewein2412"I really feel it’s important that each of my books stand on its own."
Not only I am gushy and incoherent, but I'm UNGRAMMATICAL. I could DIE. This is published in this month's Horn Book Magazine. A rare chance to hype my own book, and I sound like an idiot. I have about four really's in three paragraphs, most of them in the final sentences.
The quotations from authors are a sidebar to this article, "Epic Fantasy Meets Sequel Prejudice," by Jonathan Hunt.
Anyway, my humiliatingly puerile statement will tell you a little more about why The Lion Hunter is only "half a book," ascoffeeandink calls it.

Date: 2007-11-05 06:36 pm (UTC)I think that calling The Lion Hunter half a book is entirely perfect. Cliff-hangers are maddening when the story is building like it's going to end, and then suddenly the hero is in mortal danger. The Lion Hunter didn't do that at all, so it bugged me far less than a surprise cliff-hanger would have. (I was also completely forewarned that it was coming, so it wouldn't have come as a surprise even if I didn't know how books were supposed to be paced.)
