I think when they call her novels "epic" (not Epics) that they meant epic love, or epic story. um i think maybe you misunderstood the way the word was being used my friends and i often use the word epic.

In the world of role-playing "Epic" means amazing, creative, over-the-top in blowing away someone's mind (figuratively) by the sheer genius of their work. I do not think this should be the proper definition by any means but thought I should at least speak my bit and mention this, in case it alters anyone else's perceptions of the review quote.
