How can I make this fight scene more impactful? TW for graphic violence.
The book (perhaps series with how the length is going) is dark romance in a setting based heavily off of middle ages Europe. This confrontation is a climax that represents a major shift in the story, but it is falling flat for me.
The character of Cas is physically larger and a more skilled an experienced warrior than Lev, and he is supposed to win here obviously, but I still want Lev to put up a fight. I want to give the character of Matty hope. Yet the bait and switch feels...cheap.
Any suggestions on how I can make this more impactful?
