This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Can anyone tell me if the new volume holds to the original atmosphere of
'Soldier of the Mist'? It had the diffuse, dreamlike quality that one would
assume an amnesiac/seer might know....I am curious as to whether the newer
works on Latro maintain that subtle layer of energy.

Teresa,

It is my opinion that Wolfe did maintain the same atmosphere of "aware 
dream" in Soldier of Sidon.  I confess I personally wanted more in the 
volume, but like with other things of his I've been not immediately pleased 
with, the book keeps coming back in my mind--scenes attitudes comments.
