Excellent. Please let me know if this theory withstands reading of part 3.

Like I said, not the end of the world, and I can understand why you did it, but when I first read it it seemed jumpy. Going back, it's okay now.
I see what you mean now. I re-read those parts, and though I wrote them in that fashion to convey a sense of urgency to the reader, it didn't work out too well. I tried a bit more subtle undertone writing in part 3, and it worked a bit better there.

Just a nit pick, but wasn't her helmet retrieved by the Immaculates ? How come it was with her armour at Kale's cabin ?


Very enjoyable though.

Well, I'm quite glad I posted my story here, then - everyone's attention to detail has been quite helpful. Sadly enough, I hadn't even realized that little continuity break existed until now.

That's painful. Well, thank you very much for pointing it out, at any rate - I suppose I'll have to rewrite the latter scene without her helmet.

Or you could have an epic battle scene where she fights her way through hordes of undead to retrieve her helmet.

True - but at the point where she would have, she already has her other armor, complete with helmet.

So, it was a scene inconsistency, but nothing that affected story flow too much, in my opinion.

However, its definitely something to watch out for in the future, so thank you again.
