re-re-re-re-reading this before I make edits on book 3.
happy to say I've run into no major issues or things I would change besides the odd typo.
Solar Umbrella was much more work to clean up.

okay, finished reading. found a few little issues and some things I want to carry over / change in my editing of book 2.
I've updated my amazon files as well, so the ones there will match the cleaner edits I've made in a day or two.

Ugh, found an error where I used "here" instead of "hear". Fixed it, obviously, but that's a killer.
With 90,000 words, a few are bound to escape my notice, but that one hurts.

rereading before I edit book #2 just for continuity, etc. glad to say I found no major issues to fix.
only big change I made was a line where I said something happened "right off the bat", which I looked up and is a 1800's term around baseball - makes no sense in a medieval fantasy. oops!

I think The Travelers is the book I most enjoyed as a reader. It was difficult to write with the multiple pov's and timelines, but the challenge was worth it in the end.
Dragon Tongue, I feel, is my BEST book, so far. In terms of crafting and pace and character development, I think it's a great mix.
I'm about 20k into writing book two and glad I did this reread to collect some thoughts. On we go!

Great part of the book. I think I really did a good job with the pacing this time around. There's been enough little bits of action here and there leading to the conclusion and things start really cooking right around 75%, which I think sets up for the conclusion.
Still finding the odd error to fix, or little words here and there. Not much. Maybe 1 every 5 chapters or so.

Still really happy with this book. I wish I had made a few things happen a bit quicker/earlier, but I guess that's what editors do. Working on book 2 now and glad I'm rereading as there's a few things I took note of to keep consistent in the overall story

Found like 3 little errors, ugh. Fixed for future buyers at least. Getting a good feel for my characters and noticed a few things about some of the settings I need to carry into book two. Most of all, I'm really happy with this one on a reread extended from writing. It's really good 👍

pretty happy with how the story starts out. I forgot a few things about the layout of Wyrmgate, so I made notes of that for book 2. also, good to just reconfirm exactly what characters look like. I think I'm weird (well, I know I am, but hang with me here) in that I really don't care or think about what characters look like. I know that's a big deal, so I always include it, but I don't...really care
