This week’s questions:
The novel is a YA paranormal story told from the alternating perspectives of the two main characters, Mariella and Hudson. Mariella hasn't spoken a word in four years and Hudson has just survived a trial that has destroyed many who went before him. The story begins before they have met each other and follows them through one dangerous week and its aftermath.
I have several questions which may or may not be answerable in the section of writing provided:
1) Does Mariella's chapter work or is it too vague?
2) Does simply placing the character's names at the beginning of their chapters make the transition clear?
3) Does the section compel you to read more?
4) Pros-Cons of double narratives? I've heard a lot of talk on both sides of the fence. From what you see here, do you think the dual first person narration might work?
On to the diagnosis…
