I have been aware of this
review of
Monster-Blood Tattoo: Foundling by
Elizabeth Bird for a little while now and, happy to find it as the
Review of the Day over at
Fuse 8 on the
School Library Journal site, thought some might like to head on over and see. She has also posted a
review of
Lamplighter for those who are interested. They are both astounding in its breadth and the level to which Ms Bird understands and appreciates the whole Half-Continent thing, and also very helpful to encourage me as I wrestle with some tough bits in Book 3. Thank you, EB!
Speaking of
Book 3, I received this email from
Conner Ernst:
"A few people at my school have read book two and they like Numps and I am trying to convince you to have Numps in the third book and make Europe have more hatred."Hmmm, very pertinent notions, Conner, and things I am tackling with even as I blog to procrastinate. What do other people think? What to do with
Numps? Should Europe be meaner? more of an
invidist or less?
Less than a week till official
Lamplighter release - counting down the days!
