    @quinn-ofallon Here’s what I found.

    If it wasn’t for the full moon above, the sprawling pagoda-like building would cast the whole courtyard in shadow, dwarfing the barracks lined on either side of the walled Watcher precinct.

    Change to:

    dwarfing the barracks on either side of the walled Watcher precinct.

    or

    dwarfing the barracks lining either side of the walled Watcher precinct.

     

    A decent enough plan, but with one pitfall–every heretic tries it, which means I have extensive practice cutting off anyone who tries that route.

    I would split this into two sentences rather than one joined by an em dash.

    As I run, I strain for a glimpse over the battlements..

    (There are two periods here)

    Panice tightens my throat.

    “Panic”

    And that’s all! 🙂
