@thehuntingkind Oh, that’s great! I’d sure welcome your opinion on what to add to the middle. It was written for a contest, where it was to include being readable by 8 to 12 year olds as well as older, and although the prologue is a tiny bit over the top for that age group (although when I was that age I always skipped the prologue & praying most young kids will) I hear that the beginning and end work really well, but people seem to feel they want to spend more time in the world. For the contest I could not have added more words but… I could do that now! If you feel like it, I’d love to hear what you think rounds out the overall story. IF you feel like you want to that is. I’m very grateful for your interest! Thanks, friend! ✨⚔️✌️
