Peter V. Brett writes short stories


In wait for the next [third] book in the demon cycle-series from author Peter V. Brett. I discovered that he has written two stand alone volumes, which together further explore the coreling infested world and the life of Arlen, before he turns in to super-bad-awesomeness. The Great Bazaar and Other Stories and Brayan’s Gold.

The author himself explains that in an attempt to stream line the original saga he consciously neglected big parts of Arlens life and did delete a few scenes already written. These two books are meant to fill these gaps with short stories, much like The witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski

If I could, I would like to encourage every writer out there to follow this example. [Pretty please]

I often feel that the best fantasy series leave us too quickly with an unexplored world and too many questions left unanswered. [Stephen Kings Dark Tower being the exemption which was about four books too long in my opinion].

With the first series finished there are most certainly enough groundwork to support one or two stand alone books, always. [Brandon Sandersons, The Alloy of law anyone?] And speaking of Brandon I think it’s high time for a new Elantris wouldn't you agree?… [Once finished of course with stormlight book 2 and the final book in the ever ongoing dragon reborn-masterpiece, A memory of light. We wouldn’t want anything to prevent the progress of those books now would we.]

Alas, there is a teeny tiny downside to this wonderful discovery, none of them exists in paperback yet [Which I, weirdly enough, find so much more appealing than hardcover - The dragon reborn-series exempted]. And to make matters worse, The great Bazaar is not even sold in Sweden... But I'm sure there is a way around this somehow :)
