I saw your answer about what is next for you. I also saw the tease of "at least for now" for being done with Edrin and Eva. Theses are two of my favorite characters in fantasy now. You did an excellent job with these two. If (and I hope when) you go back to this world, will you continue with these characters on new adventures? Or will it still be in this world, but a different time period?

I'm glad you enjoyed their adventures. At the moment I would think if I ever do write another book set in that world that it would feature a new main character - though I could easily imagine certain familiar faces turning up at some point.(less)
