As Paul said, I did hold back intentionally to make the narrator struggle to figure things out, being an outsider, and I knew that was a little risky as it forced the readers to struggle as well. Some folks didn't mind this, but to those annoyed by the tactic, I can tell you that the second volume won't be as coy. ;)Jeff Salyardshttp://jeffsalyards.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711195880526876235.post-43903773711333532012-07-13T09:49:19.014-04:002012-07-13T09:49:19.014-04:00The unanswered questions didn't bother me in t...The unanswered questions didn't bother me in the slightest.
