Hey everyone! This post is for feedback on Book 1 and questions about timelines for book 2. Now that you've had time to sit with it, I want to hear your thoughts—the good, the bad, and the "what the hell were you thinking?"
Were there any scenes that felt off? Any character moments that didn't land right? Plot threads that got dropped or felt rushed? Magic system stuff that needs clarification? Pacing issues that made you want to skip ahead or felt too slow?
Lay it on me. I can't promise I'll address everything (or anything, honestly—some stuff might just be creative differences), but I read every comment and genuinely want to know what worked and what didn't. Your feedback helps me figure out what needs tweaking before this thing goes wide.
I'll be going through comments from all of book 1 and building an editing list, so if you've pointed something out before, it will get corrected!
So yeah—rip it apart if you need to. I can take it.
Obligatory Patreon Marketing (Review contest!):
Now that Book 1 is wrapped, I'm throwing everyone who leaves a review
Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.
IMPORTANT NOTE:Also: I've launched a cheaper option on Patreon for those that want to read-ahead but don't want that many chapters or bells-and-whistles.
Okay so What Happens with Book 2?
Alright, here's the deal: Book 2 Prologue drops on Patreon October 22ndOctober 29th
For Royal Road readers here: Book 2 starts posting here on or around December 3rd. That six-week gap between Patreon and RR is how I maintain the advance for paid supporters. It's just the nature of serial fiction—someone's gotta be first, and that's how this whole thing works.
In the meantime, you'll see two polls for Book 2 show up here, plus I'll be posting a side story starring our favorite red-furred familiar to help tide you over until December.
I know waiting sucks, but I'd rather take the time to get it right than rush out chapters that need another pass. Fair warning:
See you in December.
