What works better?

This new story arc, Rare Gems, has been a challenge. I’ve never done a serial that connects so closely from one story to the next. I’ve done books in a series, but these are being done in the space of less than ten days a pop, and planning for them so that they fit in the larger, novel storyline has been very difficult. Several times, I’ve had to go back and redo entire sections of the plot to fit something that I’ve already written for the third novel, and vice-versa.

What are your thoughts? Are you enjoying the current storyline, or did you prefer the one-shot prequels? I’m curious.
