I think authors are rarely prepared for how much there fans can obsess over little details. It would have been better if they'd been more vague about it. Klaus could have just said "I was gone for only a few years and.." This would have covered it.
Authors should also have detailed time-lines on there walls with all the stuff noted so they don't lose track of things.
Some speculation:
If Van Rijin the spark is really Rembrandt Van Rijin the artist, and the muses are over 200 years old, then that puts the GG universe in the late 1800's we know that Klaus-barry H was born in XX72, so 1872 That means:
1869 - Baron W disapears, L&W marry. 1872 - KBH is born (Gilgamesh born too?) 1873 - Other attacks castle H, KBH is killed, War with the Other begins, Agatha is born? 1876 - War with the Other ends 1891 - GG vol1 begins, Agatha is 18, Gil is 22
This all makes me want to tear my hair out.
Did it take Klaus 4 years to get home from Skifander? How did he keep Gil a secret during the early years of building his empire?
I really hope we get the next novel soon. A friend of mine who went to Gencon last year talked to Phil, who said the next novel should be out this year. After that the novels should start to outpace the comic. Kaja said that would happen.
