Reception

Greg Costikyan reviewed Too Long a Sacrifice in Ares Magazine #9 and commented that "The main strength of Too Long a Sacrifice is Broxon's firm grip on the Irish mythos and an ability to evoke its power and a mood of wonder in the reader. Its main weakness is the prose, which is no more than competent and rather stilted in places. On the whole, however, it is head and shoulders above most of the fantasy being published today, and well worth reading."[1]

gollark: Fortunately, EPUB is a structured format, and the library means the amount of XML I touch is reduced.
gollark: I have metadata done, and I found a good library for reading chapters (may require XHTML parsing, oh bee).
gollark: Well, it reads the metadata, reads each chapter, and dumps them into a SQLite FTS table.
gollark: Not really. I mean, sort of yes, but at that point it would be very slow. My indexer thing will index stuff *once* then search using that.
gollark: `ripgrep` is also performant, however I need to search compressed archives.
