...in the category of Epic Fantasy.

This is very nice, though it isn't a big surprise, since Hero of Ages got the best star rating they give and was the only book that month to receive it.

(I'm not sure how they divide up "fantasy" and "epic fantasy" for their categories, but you can't deny that Hero of Ages is epic, if the previous installations were less so.)

I would agree that it was quite epic. This is cool, its good to see the recognition EUOL is getting after all of his hard work.

If it's not on fire, it's usually a software problem.
