把这一句，留给此刻的你

The Swords were still interesting but by then a cast of characters had started to appear and go on from book to book, and other things about the world began to feel constricting. And there were other things I wanted to do, so I closed the series up and stopped it.

剑仍然很有趣，但那时已经有一群人物开始出现，一本书接一本书地出现，世界上的其他事情开始让人感到压抑。我还有其他的事情想做，所以我结束了这个系列，停止了它。
