Question and Notes
I did something with The Zanari Inheritance I don’t normally do: I included some notes about calendars and weird words at the back. If you didn’t notice them (no pun intended), take a look.
Was it helpful? What I’m writing at the moment has a load of weird stuff in it and I’m wondering whether explanatory notes is actually useful to the reader.
PS. I’m saying as little as possible about what I’m currently writing because… Well, it may not pan out, and it is a bit strange. If it’s working, I will give out more information earlier than I did with The Zanari Inheritance.

Just started the book and haven't looked in the back. I normally love details in a Notes or Glossery or whatever, but what I've come to discover is in eBooks (especially Kindle with Whispersync), turning to such during normal reading can mess up your built-in 'Last Page Read' features! (So I tend to not use them, just review them at the end of the story.) Thus what I would love to see would be the introduction of a new 'protocol' where such would be at the beginning, but the ebook would open at the first page of the story as done now, and these would be treated (as far as starting the story like the pages of ISBN and Titles and such. Best, of course, that they should be mentioned on that first page so readers don't skip them entirely (really, that should be done with Notes at end, there have been a number of eBooks I've read that I 'discovered' a whole glossary {that would have beeen so helpful!} after reading the whole eBook). ^.^
As a whole, The Zanari Inheritance was definitely an enjoyable read as usual but it did feel... different in style to your usual writing.
I think you may have referred to the son as the father during the blockade run, too (trying to avoid spoilers as much as possible). Either that or I mis-read that entire chapter.
