I must admit the Sarantine Mosaic burned me badly on Kay, to the point that I was very slow reading his England book and Ysabel, but the idea of him doing China interests me a lot. (And yes I am working slowly on that application!)
Saratine grew on me - the opening was slow, but I loved the big finish. But Last Light was definitely something I was unsure about. That and the real-world setting of Ysabel were why I waited so long on it - and I got it from the library; probably won't be buying my own copy. China, though, is one of my favourite storytelling inspirations in the world. I'm a tiny bit terrified that this one will underwhelm me like Last Light, but mostly I have faith that GGK+Tang can't miss. Fingers crossed.
(And YAY! *beams and claps hands* I hear Jen was more successful than I in finding primer/intro material. Still totally available if you want to talk more or whatever.)
Last Light I was unsure about because I'd had such a time with the Sarantine books. But it's GGK and early England, which I react to about the same way you react to about him and China. Now I'm having the urge to reread it when I finish the Paris flood book I'm currently working on which is not at all rp-related, no it's not.
I have the history and personality outlined for the app. It's mostly a matter of writing and editing it and getting all the flourishes I want. This week has been (and continues to be) hellishly distracting, so I'm poking at it a bit at a time. When and if I run into something I want to thrash out, though, I'll definitely grab you.
Oh, yes, I have icons. Yours and embargo's and starboard's and a few other people! I need to make a journal too.
And thanks! Mostly it's my husband who needs the good wishes though, as he'll be having his fourth dentist visit (to a fourth dentist) this week in the morning.
