Agree A is the way to go, and it keeps you from hitting the third rail of large unwieldy stories..... Jumping around too much chronologically.

B would be cool, but you'd probably end up rehashing same events quite a bit. And that's what prequels are for!

GoT ran in to that issue, but maybe also just had too many narrators eventually. You may even consider faction or some other subgroup focused chapters, instead of specific characters

Good advice. And since you are actually in (and from Texas) I have to take it seriously ;-)

I'm no expert, but I do pass many western wear stores on my commute.

I like option A, seeing the world through a variety of eyes and minds is always fun!

As much as I am an admirer of the full stop, I can't help being left with the feeling that you have edited a good comment a little to close to the bone.

I certainly enjoyed option A when I read the GoT books, so I see no reason to not go with that.

For favourite western scenes I guess I'd have to go with the triple duel in The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly. Though that movie is full of great scenes. Like the one where they (spoiler) get captured by Union soldiers who looked like Confederacy soldiers because their blue uniforms were all covered in grey dust from riding.
