I just want to know how you'd all feel about this sort of thing, if you wouldn't mind:
My WIP begins a short time after the mc's wife's death, so he's in a bit of a bad state and misses her dearly.
They came from a land full of the common fantasy stuff (elves, dwarves, magic, dragons etc) but this country he's in now is much like our world back in the medieval like days.
What I'm doing is I'm showing his and her back story, as well as how the world "should" look, by the use of dream sequences. These dreams are just memories replaying in his head about his times adventuring with her - showing him growing and maturing, falling in love with her, saving each others lives etc. At the end of each dream, or memory to be better put, more is hinted as to how she died (which he doesn't fully understand.)
These sequences would be able to throw a short burst of action into an otherwise slow paced chapter, and even slow the pace down if I wanted. (I can also show character progression through these to show how the mc's arrogant and confident personality became what it was.)
So my question is, would anyone find these interesting? What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance
