Re: The Curse of Feylund

Quick note:
Avoid parenthesis whenever possible. It's a great tool when writing an essay or an email but can through readers off a fiction.

Spoiler Alert!


At Chapter 14. Very good story.

Just when you thought it was all right, someone made it alright.

Good trades with - Porkins / xraine69 / mac122 (x2) / frylock / Ztimster (x2) and probably others I forgotten to mention...sorry.

The use of parentheses are I believe a stylistic choice. While I can't find any examples off the top of my head, I'm sure several well-published authors use them.

That is of course irrelevant if they throw readers off. I myself do not mind them when reading, but if they're something which can throw readers then it might be good practice to avoid them. I'll look into public sentiment on them.

How did you ever finish my novel if you've got issues with parenthetical statements? I use them constantly.


15-finish

Re: The Curse of Feylund

Well paced. I only slowed a couple of times, and once was a major technical issue nothing to do with the story.

Chapter 20 seemed to be a let’s get this thing wrapped up chapter instead of a continuation of the story which was a little disappointing but all in all a really good read.

I would say 7 of 10.

Ah, I see what you're getting at now. Yes, that is legitimately something to avoid.

I did this same thing in the first story, and intend to do it in the third story. You need a wrap up chapter, which answers the most immediate questions. The epilogue answers everything else. Is it a true chapter? No, it's more of an epilogue. But it's very different from the actual epilogue, and deserves its own section. And since I can't very well have two epilogues... you get chapter 20.

Spoiler Alert!
