Well, i for one am glad that this will be a book with a map ... no seriously, what's with all the fantasy books that have no map?!

As for the map itself...it surely is well done. So good work, Tim.
BUT... there are some river issues (i am sure not the cartographer's fault) and the shape is just...sorry...boring. I mean as i said, i appreciate every author who at least puts in a map. But sometimes i have to wonder why almost all authors can only come up with such uninspired landforms. Oh well... (Again, this is not a critic pointed towards the mapper! I'm just venting a little fantasy map frustration here...sorry Tim ).
