Novels most often have some central conflict. It could be physical violence or threats against a character; it could be mental anguish brought on by an antagonist or it could be the internal struggle of the main character due to their own perceived shortcomings. The question is, can a book where the main conflict is internal hold readers’ interest and actually be considered a good book. In previous books I have gone pretty much with the physical danger to the main character, threats of death even. But, in “Koronus: Apprentice” at least for the first part of the book, it’s all about the struggles Koronus has with finding self-worth. He’s belittled and feels totally worthless and his family isn’t helping. Will readers care?
Prequel to the Tirumfall Trilogy.
