OMG!! I bought your book wanting to kill time but I got caught up in the flow! You've crafted a masterpiece! Haven't enjoyed a book so much since Way of Kings! Is there a connection between Caeden and Malshash? Are Dav and Caeden the main characters? What is a Doken(?) is it like a sort of dream space? Any spoilers from book 2 your willing to divulge ?? ;)

Thank-you! To answer your second question, I'd probably describe the four POV characters - Davian, Caeden, Asha and Wirr - as the 'main' characters, which will be the case for book 2 as well. I know a lot of epic fantasy series have a tendency to branch off and follow other characters in sequels, but I generally prefer it when a story stays focused and follows the ones I'm already invested in, so that's what I'll be aiming to do for this trilogy.
Other than that, I don't really want to give anything away but you'll definitely get some answers in book 2. :) Cheers for the message!

The internal voice of Vis is very analytical and rational. He thinks before he acts, has clear, logical reasons for what he does. I feel like almost every character in the book does this. Was that a concious decision, did you spend extra time on developing this side of the book? It makes the characters extremely realistic and enjoyable to read. BTW, I just finished my 8th re-read of the novel.
