What I find exciting about these prose is Malkuthe's ability to make an ages-old tale feel fresh and immediate. Right from the opening sentence, where I see the guardian's sword swinging like a clock pendulum, I can visualize what's happening and I'm compelled to read on. This is an exciting new project and I look forward to seeing more and seeing this come together. The book is not funding yet, but I think nonetheless more Inkshares folks should follow this author because I sense from what I read his work has much to promise.
