Hi Ms. Walton, I just read Too Like the Lightning and Seven Surrenders, by Ada Palmer. I am totally blown away, just as you said in your tor review. I am thirsting for a place to talk with others who have read these books, just as you said in your review. Do you know of any online resources for a conversation? Thank you! --Lisa

Jo Walton There's a subreddit on the books https://www.reddit.com/r/TerraIgnota/ and there's Ada's blog http://www.exurbe.com and... I wish I had a better answer.

The Will to Battle is even better than the first two, and it'll be out in December. She's working on Perhaps the Stars right now.

A Goodreads user asked Jo Walton:

Hi Jo! I go to writing classes and they made us read "Among others". I really loved the book. So, the thing is that in class we are supposed to analyse your book and I have a question (maybe asking the author is like cheating, but who cares). The thing is, you mention a lot of SF books in the novel, but did you have any purpose doing that? I liked it, but I think it may throw some readers back. Thank you!

Ellen asked Jo Walton:

Hi Jo! I adore Among Others, and a lot of the thoughts Mori has about romantic/sexual relationships really struck a chord with me. Being aromantic asexual myself, I would love to know if she was intended to be aro/ace-spectrum, or if something else was going on? (either way this book was a very refreshing read, and it's always top of my recommendation list for anyone looking for a book with little or no romance)
