Fantasy books: Spoiler alert. There is the general spoiler page for general questions.
I’m making this set of pages for more specific questions.
The rule is: do not ask or comment about a book until it has been at least a month in issue. I think that will make everybody happy re spoilers.

And WHAT IS ELFWYN? And why did he get away so easily? And he still has his hate and his anger! And what is the Sihhe? And why does everyone forget around Elfwyn? And what is this dragon that Tristen becomes? I shudder at the threat to Tristen and Cefwyn, not to mention the boys! Is Elfwyn redeemable? And can someone please zap the Quinalt?
I have to reread this whole thing.
PS. I ordered Faery Moon but DO NOT use Paypal after many problems with them. Hope you can respond to my order!
Oh, never mind on Faery Moon. I just bought Rusalka, as a Paypal guest, so I’ll try that. Thanks.
Hi CJ. I’ve been a long time fan and love your books. I just keep scanning the shelves hoping to find a new one. I can’t wait to pick up Faery Moon and see what you’ve done with it.
Adding my two cents to the “Love Morgaine and Vanye” pot. Just finished re-reading Exile’s Gate for the upteenth time. I also support the sequel idea, although with the current ending, I can imagine they get a respite somewhere, enough time for a foal and whatnot. It would be interesting to see what not being in imminent danger would do to their dynamic (as I wonder about Bren and Jago). Thanks for writing!
Hi! I’m a fan of the Fortress series and an aspiring writer. In case CJC has another book in the works, I don’t want to ask questions that a book would more properly answer, but I am _dying_ to know whether, as the author, you always had a definite destiny and identity in mind for Tristen or if you decided in the course of the series what he had been and was made to do.
As of the Fortress of Ice when Tristen has that memory of being in the Hafsandyr mountains and seeing Mauryl coming towards him, it’s clear that Tristen was Barraketh. So many characters thought as much all along but, as I’ve seen you comment on this site, the reader is only getting a certain perspective at any given point; it’s ambiguous who named Elfwyn, Tarien’s son, for example. The memory in the Fortress of Ice was the only confirmation I could find that Tristen was Barraketh–the fifth book in the series–and I was just increasingly curious whether that was a deliberate withholding of information on your part (if so, it really works as a writing technique! I’ve been puzzling and puzzling over it…) or whether you toyed with the idea of other identities in books I-IV before deciding on Barraketh in Book V. In the same vein, did you always intend Tristen to lead a quiet, separate life at Ynefel once Cefwyn was well-established?
Minor points and no pressure to reply, but I’d love it if you did.
I’d love to continue it, but Harper has gone through uncertain times, and dropped a bunch of its story lines. That was one. I intend to do some e-books to continue some books which have gotten caught in that.
Just wondering if Tristen’s story will continue soon? Can’t wait to read how you play out the relationship between Tristen and Elfwyn.
I so much want to write that. But it’s kind of stuck in the queue. Jane getting sick threw us so far behind last year…
It doesn’t change my determination to do it one of these days.
Hi Ms. Cherryh! Just wanted to let you know that I spotted someone reading The Gate of Ivrel on the metro in Sevilla, Spain! It’s one of my favorite books and I was so pleased! My barely passable Spanish made me too shy go up to the gentleman and make a comment, but I thought you might get a kick out the story. I recognized the book by the semi-ridiculous cover that has Morgaine clad in the white bikini outfit. The whole thing made me laugh! But I was glad to see the book, especially in a place where I definitely didn’t expect it.
Lol—thank you!
I’ve been rereading The Fortress books lately. Somehow I think of them as winter books, not only because so much of the action takes place in winter, but the mood feels like frost, snow blindness with the otherworldliness that winter has. Snow and ice are the worlds’s masks. And the majick slithers, almost touched yet always just out sight and touch. Maybe I need to get out more.
Just registered on WwaS, spent a few minutes reading the comments on the Fantasy Books. I started re-reading the Foreigner Series this past fall, got to Pretender then got a Kindle for Christmas, and started downloading Cherryh books from Amazon. Got all those read up to, but not including, Intruder as it wasn’t out yet. So downloaded all the Fortress Series and read all those. And I laugh at myself because I marked/noted almost every reference in FoI where the characters kept saying Tarien had named her son Elfwyn. Things like “NO! TRISTEN named Elfwyn, dammit!” And then, voila!, Emuin arrives to confirm my opinion.
AND – the Elfwyn that Tristen plucks out of the Grey Space was fair haired and blue-eyed, and as he “ages” has the look of Cefwyn about him – but Otter is dark haired, grey eyed, and seems to look a lot like Tristen. And is Sihhe (how does one pronounce “Sihhe” BTW? I’ll take a peek at Linguistics…) to boot, in Emuin’s opinion.
AND – who is the dark-eyed lady by the well that Tristen seems to remember on his way to the river?
And – does Tristen ever meet a god/godess, lurking in the background, observing all the foolish things that Sihhe, and wizards, and Men do?
And – funny how there were Five Sihhe Lords, and the Quinalt has Five Gods. Are these gods the Five Sihhe, and if so, how ironic.
And – what the heck is under the floor of the Quinalt, and what will happen when the Quinaltine is removed to other quarters?
And – does Tristen find love, finally, with Aemaryen?
It’s been six years, CJ, and while I understand that Bren (love his brown turned to blonde head) makes you a living, us Fortress lovers are left wondering… I would buy an ebook from Closed Circle to encourage the venture. After I get Intruder read.
Love your word-craft, lady, and have bought as many of your books as I have been able to find.
Have to ask again. Goblin Mirror?
That one is coming! I’m getting Jane to teach me the routine she’s developed for putting up nicer-looking e-books, so I am going to be getting Yvgenie up, and the Foreigner short story, and Brothers of Earth, and, well, I have a little list of projects.
Foreigner short story? One almost missed this reference.
Almost.
Is this going to be an E-Book? or Hard Copy?
Is there an eBook format of Exile’s Gate available somewhere i haven’t seen?
There should be soon.
Just read on Variety that the screen rights for the Morgaine stories have been acquired up by a producer named Aaron Magnani. This is great news – I really hope the screen writer does the stories justice! If they are smart they will let C J vet the script and void another LOTR disaster.
Would love to see the Fortress series made into a movie – almost – but not quite – as much as I would like to read book 6 in the series……..
Oh my! That is exciting news!
