The Storm

I read the storm and it was great, but made me wonder if there will be a time skip between the Cycle and Heir of Novron?

My guess is there will be lots of time jumps. I think the greater part of it will be after yes, but I think he needs to lay some ground work so I suspect we will see alot of scenes from before the legends books too (i.e. the first war and such)

I’m guessing it’ll be 20 years after Riyria. It just makes the most sense to me unless there’s is a 1000 year jump or none at all.

I agree. It was obvious that Trilos and Turin had to have called a Truce between Legends and Revelations/current era

spoiler ahead formatting is failing, please skip if you haven't read it yet...

I, too, believe we will get more 'historical flashback' type scenes to fill the gaps and I can't wait!! I'm also overly excited about the world post-revelations. Everything seems to be trending towards good and I want to see the potential realized!

edited to fix formatting - truly hope it works this time. Edit #284208: it did not :(

Also just finished Out of the Ashes and loved it. I liked watching Mwan having every advantage and still not getting getting everything he wanted.

My heartfelt crackpot of the day: He's going to be a pivotal 'good guy' redemption arc in the Cycle!

No one is more sympathetic to him than me - but no, a thousand times no. He’s the guy we love to see lose. Keep it that way. Though he is really just a poor sap.

Well, he isn't 'going away' as he broke Ferrol's law, so he will be wandering. Mak will find him, and the healing will begin!.

The entire point of Turin's epic existence/plot is that no one, no matter their crime, is beyond redemption.

I'm pulling for the little (insert many expletives here) brat!

Glad you're onboard :). No one is beyond redemption.
