How's it, y'all?
I'm currently seeking beta readers for my dystopian science fiction novel, which is about 70K in length. To give in brief, it's about a King and a cohort of his soldiers as they seemingly fight a war against a tyrant called Sin. But the King knows something that his soldiers do not. He's one of very few individuals to know this truth. And he's determined to reveal it, what will ultimately end in tragedy.
This is a character-driven story, so I don't focus so much on plot. I've always preferred characters over plot, and world-building, worlds that feel "lived-in". So my intent with this novel was to fashion three-dimensional characters, to explore a part of their identities, while delving into the makeup of my world (I pulled from philosophy, religion, Graeco-Roman myth and even poetry to build this world). These are the two aspects then that I am very curious to see critiqued. I am looking for honest, constructive critiques. I'm also more than willing to swap story for story. And I'll pretty much read anything, I'm not all that picky when it comes to swaps.
Anyone interested, I'd be delighted. Don't hesitate to PM or drop a line below. Thanks!
