Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and detailed review. I genuinely appreciate your honesty. One thing I’ve learned through this process is that every reader brings a different perspective, and feedback like yours helps me become a better writer. I can definitely see what you mean about wanting a deeper connection with the characters and more immersion in the world. Those are things I’m actively working on as I continue the series, and your comments reinforce how important they are. This was my second published work, and I’m still growing as an author. I know there’s always room to improve, and I’m excited to apply what I’m learning to future books. I may even revisit this story one day with fresh eyes. While Valley of the Burned is a prequel that focuses primarily on how the curse began, Fire and Light expands the world, introduces the modern setting, and answers many of the questions surrounding the dragons, magic, and the larger story. If you decide to give it a try, I hope it provides some of the depth and context you were looking for. I’m especially grateful that you could see the potential in the story despite the things that didn’t work for you. That means a great deal to me, because I believe there’s a good story here too. Thank you again for reading my book and for taking the time to help me grow. I truly appreciate it.
