I read Legends, Rise and Fall, then Revelations. I noticed that in the Empire books the elves all have blue eyes (Nolyn and Sephryn having the first? green eyes), but the elves introduced in Heir of Novron have green eyes. Is this just an error in continuity or does it signify the elves in Revelations are not "pure" somehow? Also, thank you so much. I was delighted I discovered your books from my library app!
Michael J. Sullivan
You are correct, at the time of Riyria there are no "pure elves" (except those across the Nidwalden where no one is allowed to go). That said, the more the bloodlines got reduced eye color becomes meaningless. For instance there are plenty of "mir" (people who are part elven part human) that have brown eyes (or even gray eyes) in the time of Riyria - and that doesn't mean they don't have "any" elven blood. It just indicates their bloodline has been significantly diluted such that they are more human then elven.

Hi Michael, Thanks for adding me as a friend. I've never had an author do that; pretty cool. I am enjoying Theft Of Swords. I plan to carry this trilogy in my bookstore. I'm opening a coffee house bookstore in April, here in my hometown. If you are ever in Chapin, SC, which is near Columbia, would you consider showing up for an author signing? Long shot I know, but can't hurt to ask. :)

Hi Michael, I was wondering if there was any possibility of more short stories featuring Royce and Hadrian in the vein of The Jester or Professional Integrity? I thoroughly enjoy the full length novels, but sometimes I need a quick fix when I don't have time for a longer read/listen.
