I wonder what he means when he says it'll be more traditional?

I think just what he says: tighter in scope, focus, etc. I'm kinda looking forward to that, actually.

Personally, I hope it means he lightens up on the Earth-based swearing, viz. gratuitous use of the F-bomb. It's not as good as "Hood's balls!" or "Beru fend."

It has been proven beyond all reasonable doubt that the most powerful force on Wu is a bunch of messed-up Malazans with Moranth munitions.

Nice interview. Hope GRRM reads it.
Almost done with Night of Knives I have to say I don't understand why people (seem to?) dislike ICE's writing. It certainly does not have Erikson's gravitas and leans closer to pulpy Forgotten Realms-style fantasy, but at the same time his narrative is straight-forward and easy to follow which I find compliments Erikson's denser material very well.

Kharkanas being more Shakespeare where TMBOTF was Homer. Guess we get a tragedy with Anomander doing a Hamlet, working himself up to ruining everything when going against MD and throwing out the usurpers (Liosan?).

We’re not yet sure what form it will take, apart from saying that it will contain stuff not yet seen or published, including … maps!

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

I think that's quite possibly the cutest post I've seen from Gothos.

...intellectual laziness is addictive, and has a hardening effect: namely, the fostering of prejudice and dogma.......While it is scarier to advocate complexity at least it's a humbling exercise, and the person who lacks humility is incapable of compassion


I particularly liked this.
Now all the friends that you knew in school they used to be so cool, now they just bore you.
Just look at em' now, already pullin' the plow. So quick to take to grain, like some old mule.
