Wilderlands is great. Wish there'd be a re-release of The City-State (either of them) but I'll wait and see if someone *cough - James* will do that.

I don't have HBO, but if I like the book, I may get it. I absolutely intended to HATE the first book. ...

Greetings and welcome, to the Fiendish Dr. Glad to see you over here!

Thanks. Same to you, noble monk.
