There you go. Down to the last page of the first chapter of the Book of Year. What was revealed?
Is there a buildup in the setting, is there an incident that leads to more to come, is there a story arc developing at all? ]
It started out relaxful, a sequel cleaning up the year before. Tieing up loose ends, revving for the new and yet it seems the words are droning on. Will the protagonist face more than she has already overcome, will she weaken or will she still land on her feet. What could be worse, and yet there’s something, something looms to tease the tale; something unimaginable yet familiar in her mind.
And the beat goes on.
