    The hardest thing for me was getting a feel for the different 'poses'. Once you wrap your mind around how they work, the book(s) really take off. They are quite sad, though. Sort of a Guy Gavriel Kay feeling to them.

    Yeah, that's what I'm struggling with too. At first I didn't even realize they're doing it with their hands, so I envisioned everyone making silly dance moves Haven't read anything by Kay though he's on my to-read list... I like sad books so it sounds promising

    Step away from the computer and get thee to a book shop now! (Try Tigana if you want high fantasy, or Lions of Al-Rassan if you like (sorta) alt-history. Also have tissues on hand.) I've only read the first two Long Price books, and I find them a little slow (not necessarily a bad thing) but very immersive.

    But where was I? Oh yeah, mapping....! This looks fantastic, Diamond, and it's great to see Abu's banners again. I really want to do mountains like those too. They're fab.
