Hi,

You are my favourite author; this year will be twenty years since I first read one of your books, I was just a kid then and I have grown up with them. I love your writing, but…

I have just finished reading Sword of Kings and I feel slightly cheated. Gisela’s prophecy was that one son will break your heart, the other will make you proud, and your daughter will be the mother of kings. I was so disappointed that instead her children were just killed off stage by the plague. I don’t know why, it just bugs me, I expected more – some twist that kept the whole prophecy true. The idea of fate and destiny is so important throughout the series, for it not even to have been mentioned again when they died, just galls me!

Is this the end of it? Or will the final book come back to it in some way?

Thanks!

Sian
