    One behind the scenes thing for where you talk about how it felt like a side quest. Sorta, yes, but not on purpose. In my original outline the events in HoA were what I planned as the first half of the 2nd book, with the second half being the basic plot of Destroyer of Worlds. Only it kind of expanded A LOT as I got into it, and as you saw there's a bunch of important character development that takes place. Plus, between me and the publisher we wanted to shoot for 120k books for the series instead of 200+k doorstoppers. So I broke the outline in two and expanded that first half into HoA. The primary events stay about the same though. So good catch.

    I appreciate what you have to say about authors and politics, Matt. I also respect how you completely live out your beliefs on that, by not including politics on your channel, with my understanding that you actually work in politics! I know what I believe and if I chose to avoid authors that I disagreed with politically then I would have a VERY hard time finding any books to read. I’d like to just enjoy a story for what it is. Will have to pick up this series soon! Added to the TBR.

    It's crazy that Matt saying he thinks that books should be judged by how good they are and not on the politics or identity of the author basically tells us what side of the aisle he's on

    Larry's a good author and he's gotten better as a person.. I think. But a decade ago he was intolerable. I also used to be a member of the libertarian party. But you learn and grow and step away from The Fringe and philosophical purity.

      Dude, my philosophy hasn't changed in the least, and if anything I'm less tolerant of histrionic BS now than I was 10 years ago, because I'm older and don't have time for angsty nonsense.
      Also, I've never been a member of the LP in my life, ever. I've got a lot of libertarian philosophy, as in I think the government sucks at pretty much everything and we're better off when it leaves us alone, but I've been a registered republican since 1994.
