OOC: The Wrath of Trees

[sythyry]

Mirrored from Sythyry.

On a world devastated by the importation of alien grasses, Melyl is an intelligent, telepathic tree who can eavesdrop on the minds of anyone who eats her berries. She was kidnapped, enslaved, and forced to use her powers to spy on her master’s rival nations. It won’t be long before she is discovered, uprooted, and burned as another invader. But how can she free herself when she is rooted in her kidnapper’s garden?

After far too long, my non-World-Tree novel The Wrath of Trees is available, with spiffy cover art and some interior illustrations by the amazing Tod Wills.

You can get it on Amazon in paperback
or a whole lot cheaper in Kindle format.
Or, you can get the paperback on CreateSpace here for the same price but more of it goes to me.

Some preliminary feedback for this wonderful experiment-in-progress, via my Kindle edition:

- The Kindle edition sorely needs a Table of Contents.

I'm using bookmarks to page through the chapters and prependix currently, which is somewhat less elegant than what the Kindle normally provides. It wouldn't necessarily be spoilery either, given its additional ability to start readers at an arbitrary location in the book.

- The prependix looks great on my Kindle 2 and 2011, but it suffers some formatting problems with its table on the Fire.

... as bugs with the Kindle's table algorithm cheerfully crash its display layer on the 2 and freeze it on the 2011. That's normal, though.

- The illustrations show up just fine on the Fire, 2011, and the 2, with color highlights showing through nicely on the former and good quality grayscale on the two latter.

No problems there!

I'll have more notes if I run into any additional mechanical considerations. So far, the content is otherwise coming through just fine, and that's the important bit.
