Some people felt that Krondor the Betrayal lacked the depth of Ray's previous novels. Here's his thoughts on the subject:
The Krondor books are first and formost 'swashbuckle' i.e. adventure tales with little of the depth of the other work. That's intentional on my part and partly due to the underlying origins of the work.
Once in a while it's fun to have a 'shoot-em-up' instead of always dealing with heavy stuff in the 'emotional wear and tear' department. The next one, however, will be darker.
