I'm hoping so as well!
Glad to hear it.

I'd like to push to the end of Chapter One, though "push" may be some while considering it could be another eight pages...
This is still just Chapter One??

... depends how urgent a Dramatis Personae will be (and how many characters it needs to include - just the four leads, or them and the major antagonists so far, or the minor characters and if so how many thereof?).
I can't say it's urgent at all - it's something that would probably make reading easier for me, and I'd guess others too, but if I really want to find out who someone is at the moment I can always read through the previous panels. As for who should be in it, ideally any character with a presence that extends over more than say 2-3 consecutive panels and a function that's more than just another soldier or villager. So, for example the mysterious and sarcastic guide/mercenary with the royal/religious forces should be in, but the village toastmaster need not be. But it's up to you: start with the first few you think of, and add others as time permits.

Many thanks again, though I hope the resolution of this latest cliff-hanger will take less than two months.

Also, I'm reaching the point where I think a dramatis personae list might be useful: I can remember what each of the characters is or does, but I'm having difficulty keeping track of all the names. A quick reference might be good.

I'm glad you liked Hav, and Always Coming Home too. There's another one I've just thought of that you might like too: John Crowley's Engine Summer. Slightly unhelpfully, it only seems to come as part of a collection named Three Novels or Otherwise, so it's in a bigger book than necessary, but the other two novels are also worth reading. There's a lot of evocation of place, or perhaps of several different places, in another post-apocalyptic America, rather different from Le Guin's, but there are also plenty of other things going on: a puzzle, with pieces for the reader to find and assemble, and repeated allusions to the metaphorical theme of Indian summer.

Banned for implying I might not have an actual physical banhammer.

Very glad to see my advice accepted so readily. And just to demonstrate its merit, I'll follow it again myself.
