NOTES For My Alpha Readers

Notes to Alpha Readers 5/19/17

 

I have completed ACT 1 and cut the original first chapter and the prologue. The relevant scene from the prologue is now in chapter 5: Magic & Traitors. The essential items from the original chapter 1 are going into (the new) chapter 2: Mothers & Brothers.
I split 3 different chapters in half. My intent was to smooth out and speed up the pacing. Some of the transitions will be rough, and the perspective is wrong in Chapter 5 – No Middle Ground. I will be working on it this weekend to see that it is from Justin’s perspective. It will be heavily edited and rewritten.
The Chapter Outline is now available in the folder. The notes for chapter splits are there. There is also a “3 Act Structure Outline” after the “Scene/Sequel” outline (they are in the same document). Check that out for a glimpse into where the story is going. I will update the outline with the appropriate chapters and links by Monday.

Questions:

What unanswered questions do you have as you read? Do I fill in the gaps from book 1 and the deleted chapters?
Is there too much information thrown at the reader at any point?
Do you agree with splitting the chapters mentioned here and in the outline?
Is the plot clear?
If you have read to the end… how do you feel about the romance?

Believable?
How bout that ending?
