HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!
I hope the year has started well for you. It certainly has for me!
I wanted to share a brief update regarding my fantasy series.
I am continuing work on the novel, this time with the intention of publishing it. To support that process, I will be opening beta reading on a limited and steady basis. The plan is to share around two chapters per month, allowing time for relaxed reading and thoughtful feedback. This is an unpaid, interest based collaboration, and readers are welcome to participate only if the story genuinely appeals to them.
If you were a previous reader and would like to rejoin, I would be glad to hear from you. If not, that is completely understandable, and I sincerely appreciate the time you shared with the story earlier.
For new readers, I am looking for those who enjoy fantasy and feel comfortable offering honest, constructive feedback on pacing, characters, and overall clarity. No professional background is required, only interest and a reasonable level of commitment.
Here is a brief description (Completely spoiler-free) of the story-
The narrative is set in a politically tense world where power is negotiated through both governance and magic. It features a large cast of characters with complicated backstories, overlapping ambitions, and long memories. The tone is dark and grounded, with an emphasis on slow burn conflict, moral ambiguity, and the consequences of choice rather than quick resolutions.
Genre - Dark New Adult Political Fantasy
If this sounds like a good fit, please feel free to comment or message me with a bit about yourself and your reading preferences. We can discuss a plan that feels comfortable for both of us.
Thank you.
Jyothi.
