If you do pick up the book I'd be interested to hear what you think in the end, as -- I think -- it might be quite the opposite of how it sounds and is important to the plot. It's something I'll certainly keep an eye out for in future synopses, since (hopefully obviously) I don't want to create that impression. Without spoiling too much, all I'll say is that I am multiethnic (Japanese-Chinese-French-German-English-Irish), and the conceptual use of elements paralleling race in some ways is a deliberate and important part of the Andovar universe. Doesn't mean I did it well, but what's in there is mostly conscious. Again, something I'm quite interested to listen to more of your thoughts on and discuss if you'd like.E Drake Kajiokahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06893838510527707075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33813337.post-81211833814487644592011-07-17T09:50:09.394-04:002011-07-17T09:50:09.394-04:00We're supposed to interview the author in a fe...We're supposed to interview the author in a few weeks, so you'll definitely hear what I have to think on that eventually.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13571452656553970472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33813337.post-64074129272148164372011-07-17T07:51:27.979-04:002011-07-17T07:51:27.979-04:00Reading the blurb for "Sword of Fire and Sea,...Reading the blurb for "Sword of Fire and Sea," I was unable to stop my brain screaming "racist magic system fail." A quick search for reviews didn't turn anything critical up, so if you ever review it or something, let me know how that don't-mix-your-elements thing works out.Ben Godbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15450579203940093977noreply@blogger.com
