Wooo. Or W00T as people seem to say these days. Confirmation from Liviu at fantasybookcritic. The review of Interregnum was delayed for a week due to heavy workloads, but goes up on the site on friday 3rd. Also, the same reviewer has posted a ***** review on GoodReads for Marius' Mules.

While not quite as blindingly complimentary as the Interregnum one, it's still good and it's still 5 star, so I'm far from complaining. Check the review out on my blog: http://sjat.wordpress.com/marius-mules2/reviews-for-marius-mules/

Other fab comments that Liviu made in his email to me included:

On Interregnum:

"I leave a little wiggle room for unexpected superb books like Interregnum. .."

On Marius' Mules:

"I enjoyed it and I would love a sequel..."
"all 'A' books for me btw as is Marius Mules"
"liked Caesar portrait - no qualms about that, and while I thought a legate fighting hand to hand in the arena a bit over the top, I loved it"

And

"Great books both and anything new I am in for"
