Well, shit — this seems to be going pretty damn well. As always, my editor’s hot on it, and this time I actually listened to his idea — and lo and behold, a 7.23 score. It dipped to 7.20 for a bit, but bounced right back with this one.
Chapter 7’s in the works, and I’m already knee-deep in eight. I’m genuinely glad you guys are enjoying this as much as I am writing it. The best part is the world-building — the economy, the serf/peasant system, the city dynamics, all of it. I’m doing my best to keep things as historically accurate as possible.
So, to all the history buffs out there — if you spot any glaring mistakes, feel free to ping me. All criticism is welcome!
