  1. Nice one, mate. If ever a picture (well, diagram) was worth a thousand words.....

  2. Mark Lawrence. You kick unbelievable amounts of ass. Your work simultaneously fills me with the desire to write epic fantasy and then crushes that desire with its seeming unmatchability. Please release Emperor of Thorns early before I attack your publishers with my gang of brigands and release it myself. Thank you.

    1. the main reason Prince of Thorns sat in my drawer so many years before I sent it out was that when I read the good stuff out there I used to think "I can't do this..." The trick is to read the bad stuff and say "Anyone could do better than this!"
