Questioner

Is Emperor's Soul going to show up in the Elantris sequel?

Brandon Sanderson

You will find references to Emperor's Soul in Elantris sequels, yeah. I don't promise a sequel to Emperor's Soul itself, though.

Questioner

How about something related to Emperor's Soul?

Brandon Sanderson

I had a really good idea for a sequel earlier this year, but I don't know if I'll ever do it. I don't want to Lucas it. I don't want to take something that works so well on its own, and then make something that makes it not work as well on its own. I might do it, I might not.

Questioner 1

Are we gonna see more of the girl from The Emperor's Soul? 

Brandon Sanderson

You will probably see at least a cameo from Shai. But I do have a second story outlined now, but I don't know when I have time or would have time to write it, so we will see if I can make that happen or not.

Questioner 2

Will we have a full-fledged story on the other part of Elantris, that Shai is on?

Brandon Sanderson

I think it's likely, but I can't promise it. But it's equally likely right now that we will-- I will outline a new graphic novel series, as to I will just do a story, but I can't one hundred percent promise.

Questioner

Are we ever gonna hear from Shai again?

Brandon Sanderson

You have not seen the last. I may not do another complete story about her, but she will at least make appearances. And I do have another story plotted.
