EARLY ACCESS: STORMWEAVER 2 - EPILOGUE [ROUGH]
Added 2023-06-16 13:00:09 +0000 UTCEDIT: Once you're done, please consider going and rating your impression of this book (ignoring spelling and grammar issues)! It will help me prep for marketing and Book 3 writing! https://www.patreon.com/posts/84668577
Aaaaaand... THE END!
Wowzer... Kinda can't believe we got there... But it feels great "wrapping" this (rereading, edits, and proofing getting done over the next 1 or 2 months), and I'm honestly really happy with how it turned out! This Epilogue in particular is the climax of one particular plotline I really wanted to leave you guys with before the end of 2, and I love how it turned out IMO.
FUTURE SHTUFFS!
This is the last material for Book 2 that $5 Patrons will have access to until the launch, which is still several months away. There will still be lots of art and other content coming, and I plan on getting Book 3 chapters rolling probably in August or September.
$10+ Patrons will be getting 1) my reread/"cleaned up" version of the book probably before the end of June, and 2) the edited & proofed version, probably in July at some point.
As I said above, I want to get Book 3 chapters rolling in August or September if at all possible, so keep an eye out for those. I have my first real vacation in 5 years coming in July (London, here I come!), and then it's back on the ball with a reread of Book 1 and 2 and a off to the races with Book 3!
Let me know if you have any questions, and pull coming next week regarding what your thoughts are of the book pre-edits!
Thank you everyone for sticking around for this awesome journey with me and the Wraithmarked team so far!
*********
A few rules & reminders:
- Chapters will be dropping as Bryce completes them. That means anywhere from every 1 to 2 weeks on average, though sometimes waits may be longer.
- Recall that these are rough chapters, with no editing other than a single pass-through as Bryce writes.
- On a similar note, we are not asking for advice or corrections at this time. If Bryce wants feedback, we will certainly reach out, thank you! If you want to voice concerns or complaints about the chapter, you may now do so over on the Reddit discussion thread! Notifications are turned off on those conversations, so they're a free-for-all now (within the rules of the subreddit, obviously)!
Comments
First of all, thank you for writing the story. Second of all, love the story My only gripe would be not that big of a fan on the whole. Your humanities last hope trope I typically enjoy story more when the MC has a choice in the matter. Anywho, very enjoyable read

2023-09-07 14:32:13 +0000 UTCBinged the first and then the entire 2nd book in two days... now I gotta wait for the 3rd xD... such a great series
Ngale
2023-07-14 02:59:39 +0000 UTCI just noticed that both of her upgrades were to endurance. Context suggests that the first upgrade should be growth..

2023-06-23 13:51:36 +0000 UTCNo “Story so far” for $5 Patrons (that’s $60/year!!!)? Not what I expected. I’m leaving at this point!
2023-06-22 17:32:21 +0000 UTCI believe Bryce has said previously (I think I saw this on reddit?) that after Stormweaver Book 2 he plans on going straight into Stormweaver Book 3. This post reinforces that idea. Also, I believe Luke's input to the Shattered Reign series is similar to Stormweaver in that Luke helped brainstorm the concept or premise or perhaps the worldbuilding enough that Bryce felt like he deserved credit, but writing is solely in the hands of Bryce. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Also a huge fan of the Shattered Reign series as I actually read those before Stormweaver, so I'm eagerly awaiting news on that as well. But we just got the end of book 2 Stormweaver so let's be grateful for now :)
2023-06-21 20:12:02 +0000 UTChey does anyone know if bryce is doing book 3 of The Shattered Reigns series with luke or is luke taking over that like bryce did for stormweaver 2?

Arjun Agarwal
2023-06-19 13:29:59 +0000 UTCDefinitely seems like she'll get a berserkering skill. Endurance and speed boost plus rapid regen or something.

2023-06-18 15:09:33 +0000 UTCIs it any CAD that is close or Rei’s allies I.e those highlighted in “blue” vs “red”?
Kory Leach
2023-06-17 19:04:22 +0000 UTCThe way its worded I think it's a massive combat boost if she's losing or hurt

2023-06-17 14:34:11 +0000 UTCThis please 🙏 !!!
Clay Rasmussen
2023-06-17 06:31:44 +0000 UTCI’m guessing overclock but for speed, so basically she gets minute time where she perceives everything else slowing down and she gets a speed boost to compensate

2023-06-17 04:41:10 +0000 UTCI would rate 4.5/5 because I love the whole world of Warformed and this book did a lot to flesh it out. The 0.5 off is because it did feel a little different that this book didn't have a "big bad" to beat, but I feel like this book might not get the rating it deserves as it really seems to be setting up #3. Rating The Empire Strikes Back as a stand alone would seem odd, it's like I need to know what happens in Return of the Jedi to accurately rate it.

2023-06-17 02:10:27 +0000 UTCIt wouldn't surprise me if end walker was some kind of speed based Burst attack or ranged attack, Viv has already expressed a desire for a speed ability and she seemed impressed with ranged attacks in the first book too
Jacob Clemens
2023-06-16 23:36:48 +0000 UTCThank you Bryce for the amazing 2nd book, looking forward to seeing it released. 😊 Enjoy your holiday before returning to start the edits and I seriously look forward to September for book 3, what a way to end. No doubt Book 3 will start with Viv waking up in Hospital, surrounded by her frowning but worried friends.

2023-06-16 20:09:39 +0000 UTCHi. Apologies. It really wasn't a correction, it was a question. However, it was also based on a mis reading. I reread, and now know the answer to my dumb question... But, again, I apologize.
Scott
2023-06-16 19:51:21 +0000 UTCSoooo it's closer to confirmed if not confirmed... Any CAD that is or near Shido advances through a severe ass whooping... In the centuries of CAD battling... Is Shido and Rei the combination all other iterations were working towards - cuuuzzzz this can't be the first time central has tried to beat their soldiers into unbeatable beasts... Very well done Bryce. Raise that pinky on a cuppa ... You've earned the break!!!

2023-06-16 19:31:42 +0000 UTCAny chance that the $5 customers could get a pdf of the full rough draft? Also how does the membership reward of “A PDF copy of each release” work? Is it only the patrons that have a $5 membership during the month you do the release that get a copy?
DogBed
2023-06-16 19:30:11 +0000 UTCWow, I will be watching audible for the pre-purchase of the audio book. I'm really happy that you are using the same reader as the first book. Thanks
Eric Gutierrez
2023-06-16 19:14:40 +0000 UTCNow the question is do we have a title for book 2?

2023-06-16 18:32:08 +0000 UTCMy apologies

2023-06-16 18:07:25 +0000 UTCCongratulations on finishing another mammoth book, Bryce. And thanks for having us on this ride. Enjoy London, but I hope you get to see more than just the city. Rest well 🙂
Zac
2023-06-16 17:31:18 +0000 UTCThis is another Fantastic, Fabulous book! After clean up it should be 5/5......Thank you for such a wonderful second book!
Cynthia L.Lara
2023-06-16 17:16:42 +0000 UTCWell that sounds like what you’d name a powerful ability that has usage conditions that could be undesirable. Also if reading the ominous name isn’t enough to get her lectured within an inch of her life, I don’t know what is. Good book. Congrats on finishing.

2023-06-16 16:17:47 +0000 UTCOk now THAT was a cliffhanger! Uuuuugh now I'm dying to know what that does! D:

2023-06-16 16:16:58 +0000 UTCHi Charlie. This is incorrect, and please, as stated repeatedly and on every release, Bryce is not looking for corrections at this time, thank you.

2023-06-16 16:11:33 +0000 UTCOh have fun in London! I love the End. But seriously? Another cliffhanger? 🤣😭🤣😭😭🤣🤣🤣 Sigh. Guess now I HAVE to come back for book 3. Lol
Cora
2023-06-16 15:58:42 +0000 UTCjust curious if this is a mistake Device initiating adjustments to: Growth. … Processing. … Adjustment complete. Endurance has been upgraded from Rank D4 to D5 should that last line be Growth?
Scott
2023-06-16 15:44:02 +0000 UTCNice ending but I didn’t think the CADs themselves ever said user unique just central’s computers.
Charlie Staner
2023-06-16 15:11:19 +0000 UTCI can't believe we are here. I was hoping for a Grandpa reaction, but I guess September isn't that far away. Thank you Bryce.
Ghostbane
2023-06-16 15:08:09 +0000 UTCThe quotes concerning the future are always interesting. Like I'm curious on what Aria's relationship with Rei in the future even is based on how aspects of that is written.
