So Spellscribed Conviction had received more... animated responses than I had been anticipating.
That being an understatement to some people, a few readers expressed their distaste over the way the book came to a conclusion. Now to reduce spoilers I will not be talking about the specific events that happened, but I will talk about it in general.
I feel that while some people vehemently opposed the way the book ended, things happened the way I wanted to make them happen. But, that's not to say that my plans are perfect nor that I am infallible. However, I don't regret the way I did it. It got Endrance where he needed to be to do the most help for the most people.
I think I have to keep reminding myself that I'm still a new author to the publishing world. I've only put out 5 books, three of them full length novels. I will make mistakes, but that means I have more to learn and room to improve.
I think... from what this book has taught me... is that Time-Skips are not liked.
I can understand. After all, the readers want to know what happened during that period of time and I left a lot to the imagination. Though to be fair I have reasons.
I feel that what happened in those moments were stories about characters that were worthy enough to warrant more time and page space than I could fit into Conviction which is more Endrance-centric. Using the Spellscribed Tales books, I can take side or secondary characters in Spellscribed and make them the protagonist of their own stories.
The next Spellscribed Tales book will contain two more stories from during Conviction. I hope that Second Refrain sheds some light on sections people were hoping to see more of.
And most of all, thank you for your support and patience with me as I grow as an author.
