Not sure I like snake-folks being made into sympathetic characters, more due to my attachment to Howard, I do like the bickering dividing Marcian and Magnush though.
I'm curious what the King is up to and how you'll square his push for Marcian with what's happened lately I'd be curious to see how he screws it up. I'm also not entirely sold on the Snakelings' forced marriage of Auri and am of the view it removes some of their thematic sympathetic-ness.
That aside, I like the descriptions and the bickering. Maybe in your next tale you might focus on a pair of bickering knights or princes or something on a quest lol.
Well actually, next week I’m sharing the first chapter of the third book of this Lake trilogy (which was actually written as the first book, never mind… long story…), and it’s all about a lost princess, a brooding stranger who is ‘forced’ to save her, the quest they both go on, the bickering of the stranger and the princess’ original fiance, and… a lake. All very classic fantasy stuff, hopefully not too cliché.
Horses galloping on the frozen land,
Their hooves bash through ice and snow.
With soldiers mounted on their backs,
They seek their prey in morning's glow.
O, Serpent Prince of two worlds born;
O, favored Son of the Autumnians;
Protect your Princess, fair and dear,
From her Father's vilest ambitions.
Horses galloping on the frozen land,
Their hooves bash through ice and snow.
With the help of aged Dragonling,
They may just lay these foul men low.
I’m speechless… poetry about my story? That is so cool. I’m honoured. Thank you so much!🩶 may I restack it?

Alright
For a man who doesn't want to marry Auri, Marci is protective of her.
For a woman who doesn't love either man, Auri is fawning over Magnush
And then you throw a dragon into the middle of it.
Intriguing. Very intriguing.
