Here are some links to websites reporting or discussing the Award ceremony. It's far from being a complete list, so it'd be nice if people added more. Some of these sites simply report the result; others have extensive coverage and debate. Check them out!

Great Sam - good to see that we have sparked such discussion... and maybe have already convinced a few new readers to try some Fantasy? That just makes my day!

Look forward to the review...

There's going to be a full review of the book soon! The first Guardian post was testing the waters to see how people take to fantasy... Seems to have been a success... Would be most pleased if people from here were to read/comment on the book review when it goes up. The more interest that's shown in fantasy, the more we can write about it...
