Enjoyed the book, Renew. I have only one suggestion, and it is a very small one, having only to do with the incorrect use of a certain phrase (or perhaps a typo), and you may wish to correct it. Page 20 "Markus expected that such low-brown “entertainment” would appeal to Westerners or other uneducated lower castes"
The term is low-brow, not low-brown. It comes from the belief that a high forehead, or brow, is a sign of intelligence, whereas a low brow means one is of inferior intelligence.
Many thanks. You are 100% correct. It's amazing how often you can re-read something and read what you think you wrote, not what you wrote. I'll correct that ASAP.

DeleteBook 2 is in process now. Stay tuned!
Also, I never knew the etymology of the phrase. Very interesting; it's fun to learn new things.
