Reality never stopped "20,000 leagues under the sea" from becoming a classic! :) (earth's diameter is like 3000 leagues) So do it to it and have the bubble in the the mantle! If scientists haven't found pockets of air, they might yet find a few! Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I tend to get annoyed especially when women in fantasy worlds are often as powerful and capable as the men (DnD-type), so in those situations I get the feeling the author wanted to shove that plot down the readers' throats even when it makes absolutely no sense for the prejudice to exist. If...

If you can preserve the older feel of the language overall (the gambling is one small portion of the book) then I wouldn't mind (if I were a reader if your book.)

I listened to a "story/advert" for a game called Halo 5 (yeah yeah not a novel, but still a story in there) where the MC was unravelling a big govt conspiracy but was put in prison to never be seen again( basically dying) the story didn't end there, but continued a bit from the POV of a close...

Also there's a billion things we don't know about light speed and we're still debating on it being a barrier and if light has a constant speed or not Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
