This is a neat package of personages; it's brilliant to see them all together and written in the events of changing times. Funny thing, at one point I was reminded of Fable III! <br /><br />I need to follow back the previous post on the A to Z challenge. I'm missing on a lot.

I especially like when the golden emperor "climbed into the hull of the greatest fallen demon, and carried out from its sundry fires a breastbone of unparalleled magic"- I can really picture that. And the demons maiming the land as they fall and the humans fleeing "like water amid fingerprints"- just a lot of rich images.<br /><br />And that last line really hits hard.

...An Uncanny Valley populated by Golden Archers...<br /><br />Right then, I have a new theory. <br /><br />Sometime in the early 80s Anne McCaffery and Hunter S. Thompson were involved in a government DNA experiment, with results so shocking it remains top secret to this day. One night a product of these experiments ODed on anime, decided to have a Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas chaser, and realised what he should have guessed long ago. Wandering into a local McDonald's for a late breakfast/early lunch (having realised the sun came up a while ago), he took one look at the advertisement for the latest Happy Meal 3D animated fairy tale promotional tie-in and thought, "I've got an idea for a novel."<br /><br />Can't wait to read the rest of the story!
