As far as suspense goes, I guess he could disturb his readers' comfort zones by actually offing one of his main characters like authors Hickman and Weis do with "Flint" in "Chronicles."

Well, if he really wanted to disturb his readers' comfort zones, he could shake 'em up like GRR Martin - who offs so many characters that you can barely keep track of any discernable protagonists. Not a bad thing, I say. I'm enjoying GRR Martin's works a second time right now (before the 4th book comes out) - and this is something I almost NEVER do. It took me 12 years before I felt the urge to read Chronicles and Icewind Dale a second time - and that was mostly due to a lack of other reading material lying next to my toilet.
