Changes that were made include fewer POVs. There are people beta reading the third book for me who haven't read Books One or Two, who have been sending feedback on both or will send feedback. I am going to utilize their advice to improve both books. Most think it will make the book better with it removed.
I contacted Amazon because of all my downloads, and they will just send people a new version of the book. So don't worry if you've already downloaded or bought it. You should get the updated version.
POVs removed: Sierra’s, Rachel's, and Jared's. Sierra’s will be Amber’s and Jared's will be Ben's. Rachel's won't be included at all. Carly’s will remain just because it happens outside Foothills and contains important information, but once they meet up with Amber, it will be Amber’s POV.
Ellen’s and Ben’s chapters at the beginning of the book. Instead, it will start with Amber's chapters since she is supposed to be the main character with the other POVs sprinkled in. It will have a new chapter from Amber not featured in the original book that takes place a year before the events in Foothills. It will be Amber, then Michael's chapters at the camp, and then Amber again. Ben and Ellen don't get chapters until later.
This version will be a cleaned-up version and, hopefully, better.
All the chapters removed will appear in The Lost Moments instead. A book I was writing already with the same purpose for Books Two to Four. It's also an encyclopedia of the world's I built.
If anyone liked the old version, let me know. I haven't deleted it and don't plan to. I can send it to you so you can have both versions.
For those wondering why it wasn't edited or sent to beta readers before, it was, but the 'editor' scammed me, and no one got back to me for feedback. I had a free editor look it over, but you get what you paid for in those instances. People are now interested in providing private feedback.
