Congratulations on A Crown of Swords . It is a wonderful read. Do you find the extra several months you took to write it contributed to the overall readability of the book and actually made it shorter in length?
Possibly. It was actually a good bit more in time. With the exception of The Eye of the World , which took four years to write, each of these books has taken me somewhere on the order of thirteen or fourteen months. A Crown of Swords took twenty months. There were several things I had to work out. Too much was happening and the book would have been too long. I had to work to cut things out—and that’s not as easy as it sounds.
