Search for the swords is definitely a contrived story as one would expect from one of my earliest maybe even second book I wrote. The original draft is far worse. It has left a serious rewrite in the works and a big problem to work around by taking out a silly dream that showed our lead protagonist a vision of everyone he needed to find. I probably would never have even come back to try and clean it up as much as I have if I didn't want to share it's sequel, a story that similarly needs some refining, but holds a premise I enjoy far more. Hopefully I get it up here one day.
A bit of a ramble, but something that's been on my mind lately and wanted to share to any who might be reading this
