Janhavi asked James Islington:

Hello! Thank you very much for writing The Will of the Many and The Licanius Trilogy! I can’t wait to read The Strength of the Few and Licanius is one of my favorite fantasy stories of all time! It had an amazing ending and epilogue! Will you be writing more stories from the world of Licanius?Also I love Vis! He’s such an amazing character, with some great qualities! Was he inspired by any real life heroes you have?

James Islington I'll almost certainly write more stories in the world of Licanius, one day... but almost certainly not until Hierarchy is complete.

Thanks, that's great to hear! Vis wasn't inspired by anyone in real life - but I am incredibly fortunate to know several admiration-worthy people in my own life, so there's no doubt they had some influence in how he's written.

Hello James, I've finished your book and I'm absolutely blown away with what you've crafted,I cannot wait for more. A few questions if you don't mind: When will you be releasing the next book? Please tell me you won't be pulling a Rothfuss & make me wait 7 years, or I'm sorry but my Sha'teth friends will be wanting to arrange a deal. Did you write the entire series in one go or one book after another?

Luke Hubbard asked James Islington:

I’m beginning to write my first book just as a little side thing for fun. I planned for weeks on what I was going to write, but im 7 chapters in and have completely gone off script. Wanted to ask you about your writing process and how much you plan ahead and how much just comes to you as you go? I know there’s a lot of twists and turns that require planning, but do you ever catch yourself going completely off script?
