I think it's great that's he's a published author, but I think he needs to work on his trade-craft some to set his work apart from others.Neil Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13023957663164567385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3991760003960066476.post-51664353423413042412009-01-27T12:52:00.000+02:002009-01-27T12:52:00.000+02:00Bogdan, I found "Elantris" to be an enjoyable read...Bogdan, I found "Elantris" to be an enjoyable read and with all the honesty and respect for Drew Bowling better than "The Tower of Shadows". But also I think that "Elantris" lost a lot through the Romanian translation. The original edition sounds much better :)<BR/><BR/>Barbara, I don't know much about editing process, although I would like to know more :) Anyway, Drew works on a second novel, but this one can be taken as a single novel as well, because the end is precise and leaves only small hints for an upcoming novel :)Mihai A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08534691063946241019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3991760003960066476.post-52923880545017875492009-01-27T00:26:00.000+02:002009-01-27T00:26:00.000+02:00Perhaps if there is a second book it will reveal m...Perhaps if there is a second book it will reveal more. If there were gaps in the information, one would think the editor at Del Ray would have commented to the author about them during the revision stage of publishing.Barbara Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00610140328527165017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3991760003960066476.post-21780558586144396032009-01-26T21:54:00.000+02:002009-01-26T21:54:00.000+02:00Hmm..i guess this is a little like Brandon Sanders...Hmm..i guess this is a little like Brandon Sanderson and his Elantris, that wasn`t such a great book.<BR/>Sorry, but i`ll miss this one:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3991760003960066476.post-41657792756768310542009-01-26T12:25:00.000+02:002009-01-26T12:25:00.000+02:00Dave, like I said it has a lot of flaws, but I dis...Dave, like I said it has a lot of flaws, but I discovered a talented author :)<BR/><BR/>Cindy, I am looking forward to see how Drew's writing develops :)Mihai A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08534691063946241019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3991760003960066476.post-21540267478513867282009-01-25T05:59:00.000+02:002009-01-25T05:59:00.000+02:00I read this late in 2007 and it was really an enjo...I read this late in 2007 and it was really an enjoyable book. The whole Eragon series has lost out of touch for me. <BR/><BR/>I can't wait to read the other books when they come out.
