Yeah, the chapter endings are very rough and will need to be polished. I literally just stopped and moved on instead of trying to come up with dramatic or thoughtful endings. You're definitely right about the Glade. The more I write the more it feels like a huge chunk of the story is missing, and while a lot if it can (and will) be filled in through dialog and short flashbacks, some more immediacy would be nice. Adding a prologue is not a bad idea -- it doesn't even have to be from Jen's POV, it could be e.g. the head of her order giving her the map before perishing -- and would actually line up well with interjecting antagonist (or other POV) chapters at intervals, and I'll definitely consider it. But I will focus on the main story for the time being, as I think it will be easier to add those bits after everything else is finished. As for Baylon knowing Rynn, I don't think I've ever hinted at that and it is definitely not my intention.
