Hey Anthony, Here is my two bits worth. It seems to me that the title depends on the age of the audience you are going after. Based on the length of your book I think that the young adult market (13-17 or so) would be best. If that is the case then (...) (22 years ago, 21-Dec-02, to lugnet.castle)

Original title is the best. It says it all. Chronicles of Ikros is a story about more than just one guy (garalt). It's about what happens to an entire country. So it's perfectly named. Don't change it. e. (22 years ago, 21-Dec-02, to lugnet.castle)
