The perspective shifting was one of my areas of concern in Vol II and III. I am glad you felt it added to the story.

I am about 1/2 way through writing Volume IV, and since you mentioned previous characters, I will drop the teaser that Grandmaster Vydor makes a few appearances as the “I” character, along with Bill. ;)

I particularly enjoy those aspects that displayed the positive aspects of the wizards vs the sorcerers. Such as supporting each other and sacrifice for each other. I found the switching from one persons perspective to another to be a positive for developing each of the characters. I felt that the academy portion of the series was important to give a sense of universe (as defined by the book) to the whole series. I like seeing the interaction of the previous key characters weaved into the current set of key characters. I personally enjoy getting an extended progression of the plot (sort of like the chaos chronicles) where I can enjoy a lot of books describing the same characters as circumstances change. But I also like the introduction of the new characters and creating like mini-series of the subplots (2-3 books). I guess what I long for is to see the current key characters come of age before we drift to far away. Although if there is a mini-series coming for each of the sub groups of key characters, that would also be satisfying in my enjoyment of the series. I see this theme you presented being worth at least 10-20 books. It has enough variety and thought provoking nature to it to go on quiet a while. As far as which of the 2 or third books I liked better, since I read them in a continuous stream, I didn’t get a sense of one vs another, just a continuing of the story. I did enjoy seeing the subplot of Dusty’s adventure in the other realm.
