In the distance, a long train of wagons and carts pulled by oxen, pack mules, and asses—flanked on all sides by hundreds of armed riders and footsoldiers—snaked their way along the valley floor beside the river.
I don’t know how you do it, Jacquie. These last few chapters have been amazing. I was invested before, but now I’m like really along for the ride. The world is so rich and vibrant. You’ve breathed life into these characters and I’m right there with them. AHH I love it. Great job!
Bravo! Another excellent chapter. I like the reference to the androphagists. Every time I hear that word, I think of the Hall and Oates song. 😂
I also really enjoyed the description of the lapis lazuli amulet!
I think Substack might have done something wonky to the formatting for a sentence in one of the paragraphs (or maybe it’s just the way its rendered in the app?) bacause it looks like there’s a line break mid-sentence here----“We bought the karevan’s whole store of the delicacy and passed it around among the nearly three hundred of us to spread on the barley cakes and cheese we’d brought from camp.” (If I’m mistaken on this my apologies. I can’t edit comments in Substack, so if I go back into the chapter and don’t see it after posting this comment, I’m gonna feel like a ding-dong.)
