Conspiracy of Crows Trilogy Update.
Hello!
It's time for a writing check-in! Union of Steel, book three in the Conspiracy of Crows trilogy, has officially hit 100,000 words. As for the scope of the novel, this is part one. I plan to complete part two, expanding this epic fantasy to be the largest of the three books.
This is an early draft, and I need to pause now to perform a world-building edit.

| Started it & enjoy it, but life factors & mood had me put it down. It’s a multi POV literary book which you don’t see to often. Will pick it up soon. | |

| My first foray into Brandon Sanderson's work. This chunky book packs a lot of plot, detail, and other information into hundreds of pages for which the genre's noble, bright/epic fantasies are known. I liked how the story ties together at the end as t ...more | |

“We are lost; waiting tables at Denny's or forgetting ourselves stripping on poles, or working at a coffee shop misplaced in history or slowly dying on the inside as a secretary or landscaping lawns out of desperation working jobs with no futures, like bartending. The next generation of teachers, historians, lawyers, police officers and civil engineers work at this bar because the money can not be passed up, when you’re drowning in debt. The world brings us to our knees and we service it because it nourishes us just enough to get by. We are tired and we don't understand why. We, the over educated searching for happiness at the bottom of the bottle.”

“You’ll know when to take revenge. It may take years, but you’ll know,” the old woman whispered. “You kept to the old ways, yes, you and your family. You did. I know who you prayed to: Jupitor, who gives us light and day; Sif, bringer of the harvest, change, and death; yes, and Striobog. During the winters here in our hills, he smiled at us. But you know who I see in you? Judith. You are a child of Judith, bringer of rain, growth, lightning, and storms. Let her guide you through this terrible time.”

“I believe that mankind's destiny lies in the stars. I believe that candy really did taste better when I was a kid, that it's aerodynamically impossible for a bumble bee to fly, that light is a wave and a particle, that there's a cat in a box somewhere who's alive and dead at the same time (although if they don't ever open the box to feed it it'll eventually just be two different kinds of dead), and that there are stars in the universe billions of years older than the universe itself.”
