This most recent novel is super frustrating only because I can’t get the timeline to work. Character A dies at one time, but I really want her to die at the same time as Character B, but for that to work, Character C has to be old enough to… and so on. I’m accustomed to having a single character in a continuous timeline to worry about. I’m starting to understand why people design these elaborate novel plotting programs. It’s enough to fuck your brain entirely.
But I think I’ve figured out my mistake. Character A and B can die at the same time, but it can’t be the climax of the story, it has to happen early enough to motivate Character C to take her revenge some three years later.
Ugh. Talk about tempest in a teakettle.
