Hello,
My WIP has four mentor figures of almost equal importance in the story. I'm thinking it might be too much. I'm not sure if I should try merging two of them or just making one of them less prominent. Four adult characters may not seem like much, but when added to the protagonist's three best friends, his rival, love interest, and the antagonist, the cast feels overcrowded. It would help if I see this done somewhere, but I've yet to come across a book that manages to pull it off. Any solutions and/or book recs with a huge cast?
