It's oddly comforting to know that someone who has not just one but many novels published, whose work I read and adore, has fears and frets like this. Because I know that your work is good, so your fears don't reflect the actual quality; they reflect your own opinion (which is naturally biased) and what you infer from reviews and success (or lack thereof) and whatever else. For someone who currently writes on a much smaller scale and hopes to eventually be published (some day in the distant future), it's comforting to know that the fears stay the same no matter the scale.
I really do enjoy your books, and honestly I think you just keep getting better and better. Broken Crown was very good; by the third or fourth book in the series, it almost hurt for me to put them down to go to work or sleep or whatever else I had to do. Now I bounce with glee when I get to buy a new "Cast" book, and I'm eagerly looking forward to the new books with Jewel. Just keep doing what you're doing and in my opinion, you've got nothing to fret about.
