I agree with slindvall’s assessment on the strength of John Kenneth Muir’s characterization, at least from what I saw in the [i]The Forsaken[/i]. That novel was strong in characterization, plot, and theme. My favorite Powys novel so far (though I sadly [i]still[/i] have some catch-up), and simply one of my favorite novels overall.
So for those and other reasons, I have definitely been looking forward to his early-Y2 bridging novel :), even more after re-reading the interview for the first time in awhile. I’ll just remain patient.
