To give you guys a bit of an update, I may be doing a different kind of tweak to the narrative in the book too. I've been reading a lot about the conventions of epic literature and looking into a lot of epics like Dune and The Lord of the Rings, and I'm trying to give the book an epic feel to it. Not epic in the sense of "oh wow this is awesome," because that's for you to judge, but epic in the literary sense, aka. .

Right now, this is pending the outcome of the tweaked prologue I'm working on. I'm going to send it to someone who knows a lot about this&mdash;maybe a few other people too&mdash;and, if it's successful, I'll translate it into the rest of the book. Hopefully I do this justice because I'm really excited about it!
