ARE YOU BUILDING THE WORLD MOSTLY IN DIALOGUES?
You have a great world. I can see the world almost coming to the page, but you are not giving the finishing line, the conclusion lines, the narratives that will make the 'me-who-is-half-inclined-to-your-world' completely fall on it. Why? Because you're only writing dialogues one after another.
Now think about it, have you ever heard a movie on a radio? No? Why?
Because, it doesn't have the visuals, the transition effects, the motions, the acting, the facial expressions of the characters. Hmm ... well, the radio, at least, can have sound-effects. But in books? If u give only dialogues with only 'he said' 'she said' 'Sam or Mike said' ... ahem! I'll quit faster thanks.
In Books, you have to give EVERYthing a movie gives me: Dialogue is just one thing. Put the sounds effects, the transitions, the acting, the motiongraphy, the screenplay, even that background music.
What do you say? You can't give background music in your book? Read NAME OF THE WIND. See how the author did it.
