I forgot how good his prose is. I’m not usually taken by that kind of thing. I read a lot of books with dragons and spaceships on the cover, but his similes and metaphors are so elegant and concise that every time they come up, I think, ‘Goddamn, I wish I could describe something one-tenth as well as that.’ I haven’t finished yet, but it’s also a fun story about how a fae keeps themselves occupied in the mortal world while they’re supposed to be laying low
Agree to disagree. To me, a pure genius would be someone who has a traditional daily job like the majority of us, but they can also output creative content with style and flair like no other on the planet. That’s a genius to me. A brain well above the vast majority of us. Bonus points in that category for what their daily job actually is. If their daily job is being an astrophysicist AND they are one of the most prominent novelists in the world with impeccable prose? That’s beastly. Pure genius level.
