I've been going through my notes for this book, and what I've done already, and I've decided to do a bit of a reshuffle, chapter wise.
For a little clarification, Book 4 has three main storylines it follows, all of which we've seen so far.
1) - Halirosa and the shop, particularly focusing around Kailin, Hugo and Alpha's experimentation with alchemy.
2) - Antoinette and the colony side of things, along with getting to see a bit more the Deep outside of the colony. Boarslayer gets to tag along too!
3) - Strom and the other adventurers experience the new goblin cavern (Feel free to suggest official names for the new city!) and the updated Dungeon!
Likely each of these will be its own arc, though they'll all tie into each other in one way or other.
That said, the current chapter order is a bit all over the place, and now, like I said, I think I need to reshuffle them a bit.
Currently;
2-5 is our book intro to Kailin
6 is Strom
7-9 (plus intro) is Antoinette
Then 10-11 is back to Strom.
Epilogue (today's Field Commander chapter) - back to the city
--
This last chapter (which you'll all still get today) WAS meant to be the Arc epilogue, taking a brief look back at the city.
But now I'm thinking its better to make the next "official" chapter one final Strom chapter so that all of them have 4, while shuffling them around, so that the old chapter 6 is now chapter 10.
So the NEW Arc 1 of book 4 would look like this;
-
Ch1 - Book intro
Ch2-5 - Kailin chapters
Ch6-8+interlude - Antoinette
9(old 6), 10, 11, Arc 1 Epilogue (next new chapter) - Strom.
Arc 2 start - Today's Field Commander chapter
-
What do you guys think? Do you prefer the current flow? Or do you think the reshuffle is warranted?
