So I do this to remind me, of where we came from, of where we are headed, and that this life is fleeting. “When we die, it does not take long for us to go back to the ground, to become what we were, once the spark of life has left us. Other than the first three main POV characters of The Shadow of the Gods and one new POV or two supporting characters, I won’t mention any other characters’ names.

Any authors who include this section in their books have a bigger chance of me reading their sequel ASAP rather than putting them on a backlog until their series is completed first.
