As promised, for those who have already read The Emper­or’s Wolves and wish to discuss it, this is the post on which you can do so.

Revi­sions. Cast in Conflict. I also believe that when it comes down to brass tacks, readers would rather have another book than … more Michelle babbling frenet­i­cally on the internet.
