Hey, how about that: another award nomination

[dianeduane]

I seem to have been nominated for a Mythopoeic Fantasy Award again. Woo woo!

(I'm betting that either Valiant or the "Bartimaeus Trilogy" will win it, though.)

Congratulations!

The only thing on that list I'm not likely to vote for is By These Ten Bones. I really need to reread all three remaining works, since they're all good (but very, very different).

I'd say that Wizards at War is the most clasically mythopeic of the three -- moral questions? Check. Impingement of the divine on more ordinary reality? Check.

That said, a lot of its greatness lies in its context within the rest of the series, and both Valiant and the Bartemeus books have a lot of things going for them as well.
