Howdy. I'm that supposedly lovely person from the banner photo. "Brakebills alum" shirt and giant sword earrings. Not to take more of your time, but I wanted to thank you for such a personal, friendly engagement. You didn't, in any way, need to sign both books or let me nerd out. But you did. You took a moment just with me. "The Magicians" is on display on my reading beanbag, and, because of that, I will feel joy whenever I see it there. Thank you, sir.

I brought a friend to see you at Rakestraw Books in Danville CA and we had a wonderful time! Very informative and entertaining. I'm saving The Bright Sword until I finish my book club book, can't wait to start it!

Four of us sitting in the audience in Portland were so gratified to be there, but too shy to speak (before the event started, I came back from a walk around the room and told my people, "I just accidentally made eye contact with Lev!"-speaking of being starstruck). The book is just tremendous. Thank you!

I hope it isn’t 17 or 23 years until I see you again!

The Bright Sword is the kind of Arthurian book I feel like I've been waiting for my whole life! (Or at least since I first read a very faded paperback of Arthurian stories at my grandparents' house in elementary school). I know it was a real marathon to write but I hope you know how worth it all that work was.

I missed your UK tour! Bother. I am glad you had good crowds, and could see the way the book (and previous books) connect with people. I gobbled up The Bright Sword in a couple of days, and now my 22 year old has also finished it. Double thumbs up here, if that's not crass. Thanks for persevering with the long gestation!
