Let’s address the elephant in the room first. Will Mat’s character and storyline play a larger role in Towers of Midnight ? Have you addressed reviewer’s concerns about your interpretation of Mat Cauthon?
Mat will play a much larger role. For one thing, a lot of the material that Robert Jordan left for Mat takes place in this book rather than in The Gathering Storm . But I did take a long look at Mat. Whether I’ve addressed readers’ concerns about him is something I will leave up to the readers to decide. I’ve posted the book’s first chapter from Mat’s point of view on my website. Read that chapter and decide for yourself.
