Underline is a standard manuscript format indication for "put this in italics when you make the actual book." (It's easier for a copy editor to notice underlines than italics.)

(If the underlines really bother you, you can do a find/replace in Microsoft Word and replace all underlining with italics.)

See, you learn something new every day! I never would have known that otherwise.

I'll take your advice, though, and change it so I can read it without being distracted.

Erm. I didn't particularly feel like reading all 40-something pages to see if this has already been said, but...

I've read two paragraphs so far (the content is great!), and already I have a problem with how Vasher's thoughts are put forward.

When I write (and I do, just not where most people can see it), I always ended up having my character's thoughts in italics. Underline just seems a bit too jump-out-and-scream-in-your-face to me.

Anyway, I'm sure I'll comment more as I continue reading, but that's what I've got so far now.
