In our stories/books what have you, we tell the reader what our MC and supporting characters look like.
Some people do this subtly, a little at a time, others its a long info dump, but regardless of how its done, its necessary,
But in the case of a sequel(not a steady on going series, but a second book with months in between) how do you handle this?
Do you use the general assumption no one will read it who has not read the first and knows the characters appearance and be pretty vague about it.
Or do you take into consideration there could be people reading two before one and go into the whole nine yards again?
Thoughts?
