>Poignant and interesting. I would love to read this.
Thanks. My main concern is that I'm going to bite off far more than I can chew learning how to write a book while writing something incredibly grand in scope. It's funny because this was originally the C-plot of the main rival family but I've "gardened" my way into them being more interesting than the main character's family.
Originally the A-plot was a family dealing with being stuck as the installed colonial leaders of a foreign imperial force and the children (ranging from ages 12 to 20) being forced into different adversities. The B-plot is a quest revolving around a guy trying to kill their very-real gods, that enter a mortal, Kaiju state once every few centuries. The C-plot is the family that wants to overthrow the main family, oust the imperium, and restore their kingdom. Then I have a bunch of other side plots that deal with the kids of the main and imperial families. But everything is starting to get jumbled up and the B-plot is starting to become the titular plot (it definitely has the highest stakes). And I still have to figure out what the "main character" of the C-plot actually does after his sister dies, because I don't want him to just tread the same path she desired (Total Imp Death) and have mixed feelings about going to war over living a comfortable life with room to grow within the imperial nobility. I kind of wanted to do 'What if the empire... was le good?" Or at least not wholly malicious.

Everything is better when the characters are attractive. I don't know when they aren't.
