Expectations are high for The Way of Kings . Does that influence you? If so, how? Does it mean more pressure for you or does it motivate you to give it your absolute best?
With the Stormlight Archive, I’ve set out from the start to write a ten-book series. This is the grand epic that I’ve wanted to write since I was a teenager. It is certainly daunting to set out to do something so complicated. Some people have said that this is the next big series to follow the Wheel of Time. I don’t think I can ever replace Robert Jordan’s genius, and equalling the Wheel of Time is beyond what I hope to do. If the Stormlight Archive ultimately ended up even half as successful as the Wheel of Time became, I would be overjoyed. But I do feel pressure&mdsahmostly from my own expectations. This is my big series, and I have to do it right. It’s off to a very good start, and the reader response has been overwhelmingly positive.
