“Mur - just wanted to encourage you to keep up the great work. Your recent "I should be writing" piece about a points/badges concept to use to reward aspiring writers nailed it - at least from an incentives perspective. So I'm writing this review in hopes that I can help send you a badge and quell the trolls who roam the heaven/hell/wasteland that is the podioverse...
The writing displayed in this pentalogy had some amazing highs (wonderful alternative worlds, interesting relationships, cool/quirky gods) and occasional slow spots/funny transitions (wish you'd developed Daniel's role in hell a bit more for example). I want to commend you for the effort and thank you for the result - the highs and lows contribute to a great piece of escape/adventure fiction. Moreover, they display your tenaciousness and the breadth of your imagination. The series reminds me, in a very positive way, world I found and immersed myself in for days/weeks when I first read Piers Anthony's "Incarnations of Immortality" series.
Please keep up the amazing work - you're absolutely right. Work is about learning and based on what I heard in the books, and what I heard from you towards the end of the series, you probably learned a ton in writing this.
Best regards,
Elijah”
