[QUOTE="Sagiro, post: 7515144, member: 726"] Hey there, [b]Teflonknight[/b]! First off, for your benefit and that of anyone else still following this thread: I've just today put up on my website chapter-by-chapter summaries of The Ventifact Colossus and The Crosser's Maze. That way, when book 3 comes out, readers who don't have the time to go back and re-read the earlier books can catch themselves up in about 45-60 minutes. [url]https://dorianhart.com/the-ventifact-colossus-in-20-minutes/[/url] [url]https://dorianhart.com/the-crossers-maze-in-half-an-hour/[/url] To answer your questions: 1) This one has a two-part answer: a) Resurrection isn't a standard part of how the world works. Its existence would have been a can of worms I didn't want to open. b) As you may guess from the epilogue of The Crosser's Maze, Mrs. Horn's role in the series is not over, not by a long shot. 2) Similarly, the existence of classic D&D races was a can-of-worms decision. Having elves and dwarves and halflings would have necessitated (IMHO) a lot of cultural and political explanations and setting-work not central to my vision of the series. Also, while I'm happy that my books have a "D&D" feel, I think having races right out of the PH might have gone a bit too far in that direction. :-) Glad you're enjoying the books! I've finished the initial draft and revisions of Book 3 ("The Greatwood Portal") and am about to send it out to my team of readers. [/QUOTE]
