This seems as good a time as any to reread Neil Gaiman’s wonderful post about reader entitlement. However, the enthusiasm and hunger for The Captal’s Tower remains strong and speaks to the quality of the first two volumes in the trilogy. Martin, Scott Lynch, and Patrick Rothfuss.
When I was able to write again, I wanted - needed - to do something entirely different than anything I’d done before.”Īs one can imagine, Rawn has faced criticism similar to that directed toward popular authors such as George R.R. “To those who are disappointed that this isn’t another book - The Captal’s Tower or an offering the Golden Key or Dragon Prince universes - well, what can I tell you?” she wrote. In the author’s note for her novel, Spellbinder, published in 2007, Rawn addressed the issue surrounding To Captal’s Tower. Though work on The Captal’s Tower stalled, Rawn has been a productive author during that period of time, publishing six novels and several short stories. Time is often the best and only medicine for such illness. This is, of course, fantastic news for fans of the trilogy, who have been waiting for 17 years for its conclusion, and great news for Rawn, who begins work on a project that has long cast a shadow over her other works of fiction during the past two decades. Personal issues, including clinical depression, prevented Rawn from completing work on The Captal’s Tower in the late ’90s. Fans have been waiting for the end of Collan Rosvenir’s tale since the 1997 release of the second volume, The Mageborn Traitor. The Captal’s Tower is the final volume of Rawn’s Exiles trilogy, which began in 1994 with The Ruins of Ambrai. “I’m currently writing the fifth book in the Glass Thorns series, and after that my plan is to get to work on Captal’s Tower.” My sincere thanks to all of you who have been so patient,” Rawn told fans.
Anyone who’s followed Rawn’s career knows what huge news this is, but for those that aren’t familiar with Rawn’s Exiles trilogy, know that the path to the trilogy’s conclusion has been slow and fraught with peril. “Yes, I will write Captal’s Tower,” Mealnie Rawn revealed to her fans on Kate Elliott’s blog yesterday.
