It's slower and more thoughtful, While passages of the story are aimed at a visceral response--others are aiming at a more cerebral response. <br /><br />This is not the first appearance of The Sand. It is--I think--the fourth. He's gathering glimpses of her through her emotions but has yet to locate her on the ship. In fairness to him, the ship is enormous, carrying several thousand 'people'. The crew, the slaves, and the Bulragers who have leased the services of the shipping company to transport their slaves to market. <br /><br />Theusand and his staff are also contracted, and have a couple of very specific jobs onboard. Protecting Intellektai falls under upholding the trade laws. <br /><br />I still have about 20K words to write, then clean it up a bit before it can go to Beta readers. Then I'll get an idea of whether the shift in tone is annoying, interrupting, dizzying or a slew of other bad things. :-)<br /><br />Thanks for weighing in, Jean! I do take your comments quite seriously. Teresa Cypherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940430996766842518noreply@blogger.com
