Hi Michael. if you had to go on an adventure in Elan who would you take with you out of Arcadias, Nyphron, or Tressa and why? Thanks Lisa x

Wow, that's a tough one. But I'd take Tressa. Why? Because she is brutally honest and has strong opinions. All of the people you mentioned are "nefarious" and Tressa has had a hidden agenda now and again. But both Arcadias and Nyphron play their cards much closer to their vests and as such you never can trust what they have going on behind the scenes. Across the course of her story arc Tressa has "softened" but not in a "touchy-feally" way. She still has her rough edges, and much to atone for, but she was "the right person" for a very difficult job particularly because of her "less than genial" personality. Besides the one who "picked her" for that really tough job sees value in her - so that's good enough for me. :-)

Just finished The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter. Wow! What a great story! Loved it! Question: I _thought_ I've read everything regarding Riyria, but in the Author's Note in this book, you mentioned this is the 10th book about Royce and Hadrian? I can't get the math to add up, so which book am I missing? Revelations (3 books) + Chronicles (4) + The Jester + ??

I know you've stated that a post-Revelations book is likely. My question is just how likely? Your work is the most fun, best written fantasy I've read in ages. I've been on a three-year kick reading very little outside the genre. I was nearing complete fatigue before I picked up Theft of Swords. You and Sanderson are head-and-shoulders above the rest. You also seem like one heck of a nice guy. Thank you for your work.
