After being told by 3 reviewers that my "A handful of earth" novel has a rushed ending, I changed the ending. Good thing it's an e-book, so the change didn't take as much work as it would've with a printed version.

I believe I made the novel much stronger with the changes I made.

Interesting tidbit about the period of the novel: During the Mongol Horde's conquest of Russia (13th century), Russia was nothing more than a collection of smaller principalities that were divided from each other by frequent warfare. This is one of the biggest reasons why the Mongols conquered Russia so easily and why they held power over it for 200 years thereafter.
