I don't include a lot of extraneous POV chapters. This is a story primarily about one young man and his journey to maturity. That style won't change much going forward, but I'd like to sprinkle in a few side stories and interludes to add intrigue and flavor to the reading experience. While I already have a few topics in mind, I thought I ought to present you, my faithful readers, with options. Whose story intrigues you? Which character‘s perspective is missing? Choose up to five characters in the poll below.

I can only include thirty options, so I've skipped some minor names. I'll list the characters in order of appearance in the story. Let me know if I missed someone or skipped a character you want to see.

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

What are you in the mood to read? How things are going back home, a lesser-known character's fun background, world-shaking revelations, or perhaps simply a change of pace -- stake your claim in the comments! But beware: sometimes, secrets can be a burden to bear.

Never fear. Only one more poll next week, and then no more questions for a good, long while. My curiosity is almost sated. Promise!
