[Artemisia] Baron's War Favor

[S CLEMENGER]

Hey, now....
I'm a fan of both Rowling and de Lint.  An extreme fan of de Lint, actually.  extreme, extreme.  Shares the spotlight with Guy Gavriel Kay, in point of fact. <g> Even more beloved and influential in my life than Tolkien.  Well, maybe equal with Tolkien....
But comparing the two authors, simply because they kinda/sorta share a genre, is like comparing peaches and cherries, both of which are fruits.  They're wonderful, but very different withall.

  No stones from me.  I'll take de Lint over the potter books any day of the
  week!
