Having landed in California roughly four hours ago, I can safely say that I am exhausted.
However, I have broadband access at my aunt and uncle's house which is where I'm staying. Woo. Go me.
As for Blade of Tyshalle, it is every bit as good as I thought it was at first impression. Maybe more so. It's a very interesting blend of Judeo-Christian, Buddhist, Confucian, and satanist theologies all wrapped up into a nice neat scifi/fantasy package.
The one problem is that its language and visual scenes are very graphic. I'm not so sure it's a great influence for Christians, especially those who are not quite as strong in the faith. If it weren't for that, I'd say it should be required reading for Christian fantasy fans.
On the other hand there's always Mike Stackpole's Eyes of Silver.
But I was right about one thing: Matthew Woodring Stover can write.
