Interregnum, 854 of the Second Era Options

[ghastley]

A couple of minor points that bothered me.

"The Chevalier Renald stood motionless before the Emperor" - does "stood" apply? Maybe "remained" would have been better.

"... you will leave the Palace to seek out and assassinate General Talos Stormcrown." Would the Emperor actually say "assassinate", or use some other term, like "execute" or just "kill"?

And if I'm picking nits that small, you can safely assume I liked the rest.

The Tsaesci’s head turned and Farenenre’s next comment was doused like a candle in the maelstrom.

Even readers flinched in anticipation after Farenenre’s remark.

Opportunity to feed… *shiver* Cuhlecain has our Chevalier by the syffim. I’m biting my nails over the fate of Eesham and Xarsien.

The scene with the General’s small council simply sang. What a joy to read. When Valdemar and Alain appeared in that doorway I let out a whoop and did a dance that cannot be described because thankfully there were no witnesses. This is a grand adventure!!

My plan is to start reading this tomorrow from chapter one, to savor it slowly and give it the respect it deserves. Rest assured, my brother, I will get up to speed soon!
