Hi guys!
I keep getting super-vague and hard-to-fix feedback on rejections, like "I didn't connect with your characters" and "I found it too slow-paced". I'm looking for general thoughts on how to correct these problems.
Quick summary: In a world where a sinister Council regulates all magic, twin magicians Arcanu and Lycænu are born into slavery. Arcanu, who can pass for a member of the master race, assumes a place in the prestigious Academy where magicians train to become Councilmen. Lycænu foments a rebellion against the Council, and Arcanu is assigned to spy on him. Conflict ensues!
