He has been too many things to count. He has been a dragon with a boy on his back. He has been a scholar, a warrior, a lover, and a thief. He has been dream and dreamer. He has been a god.
But “he” is in fact nothing more than a spark of idea, a character in the mind of Sylvia Harrison, 73, award-winning author of thirty novels over forty years. He has played a part in most of those novels, and in the recesses of her mind, Sylvia has conversed with him for years.
But Sylvia won’t live forever, any more than any human does. And he’s trapped inside her cave of bone, her hollow of skull. When she dies, so will he.
Now Sylvia is starting a new novel, a fantasy for adult readers, set in Thalia, the Florence-resembling imaginary city that was the setting for a successful YA trilogy she published decades before. Of course he’s got a part in it. But he also has a notion. He thinks he knows how he and Sylvia can step off the wheel of mortality altogether. All he has to do is convince her.
WOW. This sounds amazing. Also conveniently fits into one of new r/fantasy 2020 bingo squares over on reddit! I’ve been meaning to read something by Jo Walton for years, maybe this will finally be the one! Or What You Will is expected out from Tor on July 7th, 2020.
Way Too Fantasy 
I just discovered Jo Walton thanks to Reddit and I was curious, and this one seems intriguing!!
I’ve heard great things about her work but haven’t gotten to any of it yet… Reddit is great for growing your TBR, I know from first hand experience lol.
Oh my word. Thank you for putting this on my radar!
You are very welcome!
That sounds like a very cool concept. Count me in!
Doesn’t it sound intriguing?
I’ve never read Jo Walton either, although I own at least one of her books. This sounds really good!
I own at least one of her books too, I think, I’m pretty sure LOL. It does sound good! I’ve heard fantastic things about her writing.
This does sound really good and I so like this author.
Lynn 😀
I haven’t read any of her work yet, I don’t know I’ve not yet.
Still need to read Jo Walton. I might have to read the stuff I have by her first before hitting up this one. I even have some books signed a few years ago at Balticon 🙂
I haven’t read her yet either, I keep wanting to read Tooth and Claw or Among Others but haven’t yet. I have…an embarrassing amount of signed books i haven’t read so don’t feel bad lol!
