I know you've probably gotten this question before a million times, but would you ever consider writing another mainline book in the World of Five Gods series? I am devouring the Penric books at the moment, but I'd love another novel-length, meaty story :)
Lois McMaster Bujold
I have, at the moment, no ideas in that direction. If something seized me, there is no impediment, but my semi-retired energy level is more suited to novellas at present.
Back when I was living from contract to contract (which is like paycheck to paycheck, but with a longer timeline) I didn't have time or energy to divert for the lower-paying short work. So getting to explore the length has been something of a treat for me.
(At least there is one novel-length Penric -- The Assassins of Thasalon, if you've made it that far in the series -- but that was an accident. It did start out to be a novella...)

How do you approach writing book reviews? I often have a lot to say about a book while I'm reading and reacting to it, but trouble finding the heart of how I felt about it in a short review. I enjoy reading your Goodreads reviews and those of Patrick Rothfuss a lot, and respect your taste. Any advice for those of us who read a lot, but could stand to recommend more?

Dying Ezar took comfort in atheism. In Wot5G someone like Ezar could choose sundering for fear of the unknown or judgement. How judgmental are the gods? The Bastard’s Hell is mentioned, is that where souls taken in the death miracle go? Anyone else? The Bastard takes those the other gods won’t, thieves, prostitutes, etc, but Des said there are those too vile like the psychopathic bandit chief. How many are too vile?
