Re: Too Many Conflicts?
a conflict between Catrin and her mother,
a conflict between the parents and Marcellus,
a conflict between the Celtic culture and Roman culture, and
a conflict between the love relationship of Catrin with Marcellus and their parents and countries.
But the strongest conflict that I felt was between Marcellus and his parents for the safety of his love relationship with Catrin. But it was only Marcellus who got ready to sacrifice his all things for the sake of Catrin.

Yeah. I concur. The conflicts really helped build interest. The conflicts had a good climax. Books such as this need to have many conflicts because in the real history, that's what happened.Kareka88 wrote: ↑10 Sep 2018, 08:20I agree with Cassandra. Conflicts add to character development. You learn a lot about a person in how they handle conflict. Many times you can relate more to a character by watching them solve conflicts in their lives. Did you find yourself empathizing with the characters in the midst of their conflicts? I’d be interested to know.Cassandra Keeney wrote: ↑09 Sep 2018, 12:22 I found the conflicts were useful in terms of character development. I agree it was difficult to determine the most relevant at times, however as it is part of a series, I presume that some will return in later books.
If you want to be remembered long after you are gone, WRITE books worth READING or DO things worth WRITING about...

I mostly agree with you on this. Do you think the subplot of her sister, Vala, was dropped on purpose so she could have a larger role in a future book? Or do you think she was treated as a minor character who was just taking out of the way when she was sent with the Roman soldiers?KMSingh wrote: ↑16 Sep 2018, 21:51 I think there was a good mix of subplots that supported the main plot and gave it complexity. That being said, I think the motives of a couple of the characters could have been a little clearer, especially Rhiannon and Trystan. Their relationship was pretty clear, but sometimes the motives got a bit muddled.
