Website Update
Well, due to a very busy life, this part took me far longer than I thought it would. But it's finally there, to be found at:
http://www.gundamwingtales.com/novel2/chapter1_part3_3.html
Pending are the comments from the beta reader, so small changes in the wording may still be possible.
A few things I noticed while translating:
The chapter is (like the book as a whole) quite faithful to the series. There are just a few (at least for me :-) ) interesting tidbits:
- the first scene between Heero and Trowa has been a bit expanded in the book. I find it very well done, with some more discussions regarding politics and Heero's health. It's what you would suppose anyway these two would discuss, I guess.
- The events of the battle have been a bit changed in their chronology in the book, as compared to the series, but it doesn't bother the flow of the story at all
- However, Trowa is positively scary when he says that this mission is more enjoyable than the others. This sentence is not in the series
- Catherine asking Hawthorne (whose name is not in the series either) whether they shouldn't move to the colonies is not the series either. I guess it shows her interest in Trowa, to know him better.
It's those tiny differences which make the translation reeaaally interesting. :-) If you look carefully, there are quite a few of those.
Enjoy reading the new chapter!
