Hi folks, just a quick update.

I've been far more unwell than I initially thought. Long story short, what started as a severe backache turned into issues with my liver and type 2 diabetes. I’m still undergoing treatment, but today is the first day in a while where I’ve felt... good. Great, even.

This week, I plan to re-read all the chapters with the aim of resuming publication at the beginning of December.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

On reflection, I feel that healing or some sort of life-giving magic or ability is severely underrated in this genre. If your health was represented by a pool of 100 points, being just 10 points off can make you 50% less productive or cognitively capable, while also draining a lot of motivation and willpower away from other things. This is probably why I tend to include such abilities in the protagonists I write, as I truly believe good health is the foundation for growth. But I digress.

Thanks so much for all the recent reviews and to the new readers. I can’t wait to get back to continuing Ori’s journey.
