Hi there Lois, I was wondering if you think you will ever go back to see what's happened on Athos? That's the biggest cliffhanger of the series, to me...
Lois McMaster Bujold
I have no plans to do so at this time.
I was a bit sorry that I'd given my universe such a very 60s-Analog element, although in my defense I did give it a non-magical physical substrate. ("There are no effects without causes" and all that.) I'd have to think of something different to do with a rather well-worked-over trope.
(There was a good book by Rebecca (R. M.) Meluch that did some pretty interesting things with a telepath... can't recall the title offhand. It might have been The Queen's Squadron or it might have been another.... (quick Amazon check -- yeah, that was it.) Downer ending, though. She does good work -- check out her books.)

Have you seen that book 5 of the Queen's Thief series (Megan Whalen Turner) is coming out in May? I found out about this series through you. Also, I don't know if you care for podcasts, but a main character of the S-town podcast reminded me a bit of Miles if his life had taken a different tack. It's good listening and I'd love to know what you think of it should you happen to give it a try!

1st, my compliments. Your world building is ever & always the richest most delicious. You are on my personal short list of creative influences. 2nd, is there a connection between the World of the 5 Gods and the world of the Sharing Knife tales? I ❤ the idea that they are on the same planet & have the same pantheon but on different continents at different times: Not-Europe v Not-N.America & Not900s v Not1800
