I loved the Winter Prince so very much I have not been able to read the other books. Even though I know they will be brilliant, and I will enjoy them. Just. *bursts into tears* DON'T DIE MEDRAUT AND LLEU oh my god it's so sad.
Yeah, I waited a long long time after reading Winter Prince to read these for that reason! I don't know if it helps, but the Telemakos books are so removed from Winter Prince that I had fewer problems with it not being Winter Prince (Coalition of Lions didn't quite work for me for that reason and many others). Also, Telemakos! He is so awesome! I love him so much!
OMG guys read "Fire". email me at ewein2412 [AT] yahoo [dot] co [dot] uk and I will send you a copy (it's hard to find the printed version). It's in the public domain (published in Writers of the Future Vol. 9 in 1993) so I don't think it's a TRUE spoiler to assure you that LLEU DOES NOT DIE (and neither does Medraut, who turns up in the second book, if you guys would only HAVE FAITH in me! If I ever kill a truly wonderful main character I will do it ON STAGE).
and BTW thank you Rachel for a great review! (blows kisses)
I'm so happy you had the same reaction to these I did (even the same writer comparison), but you say it so much better, I just flailed a bit on the Booksmugglers blog and did the Megan Whalen Turner comparison, heh.
They deserve so much more recognition than they're getting. She has short stories not set in this universe in the Firebirds anthologies, as well.
And she sent two of the German editions of Winter Prince to my school for the library!!!
