There's a couple of things I'll be looking to change in the second draft, since I more or less didn't really plan anything in the story.
- The rather sudden revelation that Ein is a Songweaver. I'll be looking to sprinkle in some foreshadowing in act 1
- More emphasis on the 'legends' of people like Lady Reyalin and other Fateweavers in Act 1
- I might do a major restructuring when Evaine and Ein/Merrill split paths. At the moment she pretty much goes off on her own for 2 chapters after the Draurig part and then they're all back together in Caerlon again. Keeping them split up until Aldoran might make for a better read (I'm told the Caerlon to Aldoran part which will be up shortly is rather slow).
If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
However, I'd have to invent some stuff for her to do while she's on her own. I would really like input in this after the next chapter or so—whether they should have been split up until Aldoran rather than Caerlon.
Minor spoiler, but they split up once again after Aldoran.
- There's a bit of an issue some with Ein, Merrill and Evaine (and Garax) all being important people who come from the same place. I don't really have a fix for this yet, though I may consider one in the future. It would either come in the form of some plot point revolving around why Felhaven produced these three Fateweavers, or I might just edit it so that only Ein and Evaine are "important." In either case, they are but 3 of many important characters in the world. The rest have yet to be revealed and will join them along the journey.
- Speaking of which, there will be some more name changes planned. At the end of the book I'll be changing 'Raginrok/The Throne of Destruction' to 'The Muzzle/Nanak Tur, Tomb of the Ninety'. Some other stuff like Fateweaver and Heart of the World will also come under review.
