Mr. John, great read i had with your books, I liked the books so much, but i nooted that you are killed many protagonists compared to the antagonists, I think it is not fair?

Hi Atheer,
Great to hear from you. You are right, there is a higher death count amongst the protagonists compared to the antagonists, particularly in the first two books. And you're right again, it's not very fair. That is part of the point, though, life isn't fair. In saying that I don't think it's too much of a spoiler to say that the balance does swing back a little in Ruin, book 3, though, with some main POV 'bad guys' meeting a gruesome end. The fourth and final book, titled Wrath, sees a fair few deaths on both sides :)
I hope that helps.
Best,
John

So not long until June now, and I am looking forward to reading the next instalment. Meaning no disrespect, but I read a fair bit and sometimes details get muddled, I could start to re-read Valour but I know within about 10 pages I will remember virtually everything. So while the book is in editing stage is there a possibility of adding a kind previously on the Faithful and the Fallen type prologue ?

Hi John, Hope you and your family are doing well during this crazy time. I have read all your fantasy books and am in the middle of A Time of Courage. Loving it of course. I'm considering re-reading the Faithfull and the Fallen. Looking forward to The Dragon Unchained (The Bloodsworn Saga, #1) next year. I was wondering if the length of the new book will be similar to your previous series?
