#ScribesAndMakers 14 (14)
favorite story setting
This is complex, yet seems obvious later.
It memorably serves the plot, and makes the heroine uncomfortable for MULTIPLE reasons (climate, culture, memories, specific people, society, threats…).
For the reader, it’s also interesting, and makes sense.
Book-1 opening: Coving. Riparia is tense in cities; awkward around the man she’s meeting; fears practitioners, sorcerers, and spies, and it’s chilly and raining.
