-----
Hey everyone! I'm CG Blaire, author of Crown of Ash and Bonds. After submitting my work for contract consideration, I received some tough but incredibly valuable feedback. While the critique was hard to hear, it was exactly what I needed to improve the story. The feedback highlighted a few areas that required attention:
The plot was hard to follow and didn't engage readers.The pacing felt too slow.The opening didn't immediately hook readers.
Taking this feedback to heart, I decided to completely revise the story. What was originally planned as a single novel has now been split into two shorter books, Book One: The Rise of the Flamebearer and Book Two: Crown of Ash and Bonds – The Chosen Flame, forming the Flamebearer Saga, still under the larger umbrella of Soulfire Chronicles.
As a result of this revision, I've pulled the old version from publishing and will be re-releasing the story under the new titles. I apologize to those of you who have become fond of the original version, but I believe this change will make the story much stronger and more engaging.
What's Changed?
The revised edition of Crown of Ash and Bonds: The Rise of the Flamebearer features:
A more cohesive plot
Tighter pacing
A stronger, more gripping opening
Enhanced character development
This isn't just a simple tweak, it's a full rewrite designed to bring you the best possible version of the story. Every chapter has been reworked to be more engaging, dynamic, and easier to follow.
