This question contains spoilers…
(view spoiler)[I know you said you don't plan to write a sequel to the Riyria books, and I understand because the ending is PERFECT. There's just one thing I'm curious about. Royce says that he wants to make better connections between humans and elves, but what about the dwarves? I know Royce says many times that he doesn't like them, but it doesn't really seem like a happy ending if dwarves are still left landless and persecuted. (hide spoiler)]

Hey Karissa,
Thanks for writing. I do think that the future of Elan looks bright for all the various races involved. Royce certainly has warmed to the dwarves as a people due to his interactions with Magnus. Sure they've had their ups and downs, but he understands why Magnus is the way he is, and his gift to him at the end of the series shows that he cares. So, while I've not stated what happens between the three races, I think you have every reason for optimism.

I have really enjoyed listening to your Legends of the First Empire and look forward to the 6th book coming soon! I wanted to start listening to your Riyria books and I was wondering if you could recommend which books to start with and the chronological order to follow with? You have become one of my favorite authors along with Robert Jordan, Michael Wisehart, Terry Mancour, Brandon Sanderson and R.A. Salvadore!

Hi Michael, which one of your books can you recommend to read first? I usually do not read fantasy novels, but I was quite thrilled by the way you wrote description of your books. Fascinating language, I would even say hypnotizing—it makes one to read more. Thank you in advance, D.
