Harmony reviews or, we meant to do that!

Here's a very brief review of Harmony's ebook edition. One shouldn't really "answer" reviews, but in this case I'll make an exception only to avoid further confusion—in Harmony the story is told partially through HTML (or rather, futuristic emotional-textual markup language or ETML) thanks to the technology in the narrator's brain. So if you see a page full of HTML in the book, just read it and you'll see what I mean. Our online excerpt has a sample of the sort of thing you might see. It's an honest mistake; our ebook production staff started flagging all the HTML when they first started creating the ebook version. I suppose that's the risk one takes when one tries to be a little avant-garde. In better news, The Manga Critic has also reviewed the book, writing, in part: Harmony is a solidly entertaining book, offering a judicious mixture of globe-trotting action, social commentary, and suspense to engage all but the hardest science fiction fans, and a surprise ending that neatly resolves the main plot while raising new, thought-provoking questions. Recommended. And it's fuuu
