Hey everyone!
          	
          	Friday snuck up on me this week! The next Through the North chapter is ready, but I completely forget to set it to publish today and I won't have a chance to do it at work. I promise, I will get the chapter posted as soon as I can this evening!

I just put together a guide book chapter about the Northern Kingdoms, so we can have all of Tanden's ramblings in one place!

Hi I just wanted to ask when are you gonna continue reading IRON AND FLAME again?

@yukishan777 Hi. My schedule will go back to normal in September and I may be able to work in some time. But honestly, I'm not sure if we should continue the read for read anyway, because we don't seem to expect the same things from it.
            
            I agreed assuming you would read my book and provide feedback along the way, but instead you simply voted for chapters and left me vague (and a bit rude) feedback at the end. In fact, a handful of chapters into Book 2, I remember you saying you nearly DNF and that you found the characters you had just met bland and two-dimensional. I don't think you enjoy my books, which is fine, but it makes me wonder if doing a read for read is worth either of our times.
            
            I haven't had time to do much reading on wattpad lately. But I can make time if you're interested in continuing.

@juliecotewriter Hi...sorry for not responding. Life has just been chaotic for me in these past months and I think I delivered the baggage on your doorstep. I'd like to apologise for my rudeness. At times I tend to be raw in my reviews about people's books instead of actually advising on how to improve their writing and for that I am truly sorry. 
            
            What I meant by bland and two dimensional was that the characters felt more like archetypes in my opinion like they're there to serve Tannax instead of existing by themselves. At the moment Fin and Tannax are the most flesh out character at the moment, but I'd like if the knights were fleshed out a bit more. At the moment I just know their choice of weapons and little about them, but I'd like it if Fin would spend more time with each knights so I'd get to know them more. Right now I feel like if any of them were to die I wouldn't feel any emotion as I haven't connected with them as much yet...sorry If I'm vague and rude

@yukishan777 Yes, I understood what you meant by "bland and two dimensional". The reason I felt that feedback was unfair was because you said it after reading the first chapter those characters were introduced. You didn't actually take any time to see how Finn gets to know them over the next few chapters. If you had still felt that way after reading further along, I would have been interested to hear why.   Unfortunately, that isn't what happened.
