Hello Micheal, Is there ever going to be much more of a back story on Eshrahaddon? I wasn't the biggest fan of the character, but he intrigued me. Also, one of my favorite aspects of the books is the emotional arc and progression of Royce. Did you intend for him to stay dark through out or did you plan on the progressive arc of his character?

Hey Logan,
Funny you should ask that. I have a number of story ideas that "fills in the gaps" about past history. One of them is tentatively titled: "Fall of Percepliquis" and it shows Esrahaddon as an apprentice Cenzar and his relationship with Jerish and yes...eventually the events that results in the destruction of the empire's capital city. I'm not sure when I'll write this (or even if I will...a lot will depend on if readers are interested in seeing this book -- I have a poll where people vote on such things (http://michaeljsullivan.polldaddy.com...).
As for Royce...a key component for the entire series is his character arc. In many ways it's the core element. So yes, I did plan on showing how he changes. I'm glad you enjoyed being with him through his trials and tribulations.

Whenever you do put out more Riyria Chronicles I was wondering if Tim Gerard Reynolds will also be narrating again? It would be hard to read the book without his voice at this point. He brings so much life to your stories. I think he should narrate all of your books, if that was at all possible :)

I'd like to ask about Esrahaddon too! If you are going to even write a short story about his past and/or his time spent with Arista :)
