> In the comments, the blogger talks about the Tower of Glas being one of the more "videogamey"<br>> aspects of TWK. This rather surprised me, as I think there's a lot going on in that particular <br>> passage. One of my very first posts here was about the Tower as a combination of a) the Tower of > Babel and b) Dante's Purgatory. <div>

I like a lot of TWK, but I think Able's writing is inconsistent, as the blogger said, and I don't see the artistry of that.
