@jasondoroughauthor: Readers forget details between books, even when they remember the ending. Every series needs a previously on, the way TV does. You can put a short summary up front, or weave the reminders into the story itself. The first time a returning character appears, let the viewpoint character recall one key moment or trait. Do the same for factions, places, or magic with a single line of context. Just enough to reorient the reader so they do not stall out in chapter one. #WritingTips #BookTok #WritersOfTikTok #SeriesWriting #WritingCraft
