Content

Hello vast majority of my patrons! This one is limited to my $10 people because y'all are the ones ahead of everyone in Blood Shaper. Sort version is, I decided to push some of the Nelam stuff in Book 5 into the later sections to add a little drama and a little tension. Sadly, I've discovered that I've pushed it too far back and there's some gaps that aren't great. So I'm planning to go back and insert a chapter, maybe two, to have things make more sense. I'm asking y'all when you think that should be, since you're the farthest ahead and are already at a point where those gaps might be showing.

Thanks for any feedback and thoughts you might want to comment as well. See y'all tonight for the regular chapter post.

I haven't noticed any glaring plot holes or anything yet, we just got to the Seramist Isles, right? Thay'd be a nice stop point, all in all, to give a brief chap or two about Nelam and its situation. Could also do it a chap or two ago while we're sailing on the way, but haven't made it yet...

Agreed. The serialized format makes it very hard to judge pacing beyond last chapter/next chapter, because For anything further than that it can be weeks between reading one thing and reading another.
