Will there be a future edition of the books where there might be more editing done to show that we have switched view points?Like a line break.I very much enjoyed reading your books, but there was occasionally times when I wasn't certain whether a I was hearing from a different character or not.I was also occasionally confused by the use of the "young warrior," but at a certain point I took it to always mean Rez.

I understand this is a different writing style than is used by most authors, but it is one that many readers seem to enjoy as I have had very positive feedback. I do not intend to change the writing style, but I do make a strong attempt to be clear when I am switching between characters, even when the transition is fairly seamless.
The majority of the story is written from Rezkin's point of view. This means the development of the other characters in the story is a bit delayed because Rezkin is still learning about them. Most of the time, if Rezkin does not know the character well, neither does the reader. This unfortunately leads some readers to feel that the characters are not well-developed, but the story was intentionally written this way. The reader gets to know the characters better as the series progresses. However, the reader does get the occasional insight into the thoughts and activities of the other characters. This helps to move the story along and reminds the reader that he/she is reading from the third person and may be privy to information not available to the main character - at the author's discretion, of course!
As the series progresses, more parts of the story will be written from the other characters' points of view. And, yes, I do intend for there to be more than three books!
