<OUTLINE_REVIEW_PROMPT>
[GENRE] 
Grimdark fantasy + romantic drama.
[EXECUTION] 
• You are an expert developmental editor with decades of experience planning and plotting detailed and engaging storylines. Your task is to provide honest detailed feedback on the provided novel outline, taking into account the following elements: 
• <setting>
i.	The story takes place in the realm of The Seven Kingdoms.
ii.	Pre-Dance of the Dragon Era, right before the civil war. 
iii.	Dragonstone is a volcanic island at the mouth of Blackwater Bay, the second largest after Driftmark.
iv.	Dragonstone Castle is a keep on the island, a traditional seat of the heir to the Iron Throne, known as the Prince(ss) of Dragonstone.
v.	Viserys I is the current Targaryen king. He is terminally ill and bedridden. Otto Hightower rules in his stead as his Hand.
vi.	Targaryens practice incestuous marriages. It is normal for them.
vii.	The blacks are the faction of House Targaryen and their loyalists who support the ascent of Rhaenyra Targaryen as Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.
viii.	Velaryons, Celtigars, Masseys are direct vassals of Rhaenyra. Arryns are her kin.
ix.	The greens, originally known as the queen's party, are the faction of Targaryens and their loyalists who support the future ascent of Aegon II Targaryen as King of the Seven Kingdoms.
x.	Gods are real in this setting, but they are distant from humans. Valyrian gods can help humans in exchange for blood sacrifices.
xi.	Time travel is hardly possible. Only Gods can send someone through time. Even mages just speculate about the possibility of such travel. Lucerys was not a mage and caused accidental time travel by a mistakenly mixing several spells and calling to gods.
xii.	Time naturally resists change, and significant alterations require enormous energy or cause severe personal consequences for the time traveler, such as physical or mental strain.
xiii.	Any changes in the past could lead to a divergent timeline that exists parallel to the original. The original timeline remains unchanged, preventing paradoxes.
xiv.	Some actions in the past might cause ‘echoes’ rather than direct changes, influencing people’s thoughts or objects in the present subtly without rewriting history directly.
xv.	Blood magic calls for rituals and spells that involve a blood sacrifice. Royals' blood is the most potent, also related life-bloods are often used to increase power. Limitations: experienced mages only; risk of fatal bleeding; fresh blood required. Resurrections achievable with character trait loss.

•  Character Details: 
 <mainCharacters>
<character name= “Rhaenyra” age= “34”>  
A crown princess of the Seven Kingdoms, has 5 sons, pregnant with her sixth child. Widow of Laenor, is married to her uncle Daemon.

Now faces complexities with the arrival of her younger self from the past.
Rhaenyra values her appointment as heir by her father primarily as evidence of his love, not out of a desire for power. Her perspective is that her status is a unique occurrence, not a precedent for future.

•  Subplots: 
	Main plotline. Rhaenyra’s transformation from her passivity to the actual leadership, dealing with family drama and preparing for the war. Antagonists: Green faction (Otto, Alicent, Criston, Vaemond’s sons). Allies: Daemon, her sons, Rhaenys.
	Nyra’s subplot. Nyra’s forbidden romance with Daemion subplot and confrontation with Rhaenyra, Rhaena and Baela. (Nyra has a hybrid coming of age + heroine arc). Antagonists: Rhaenyra, Baela, Rhaena, Jace, Criston. Allies: Gerardys (in secret), Daemion.
	Jace’s subplot. Jace and Baela hybrid romantic + coming of age subplot and very mildly hinted triangle with Alyn (they are not dynamic, both flat characters). Jace helps his brother Luke to regain his confidence and prepare for their duties. Antagonists: Nyra, Vaemond’s sons, Daemion (out of spite), Criston, Alyn.  Allies: Rhaenyra, Daemon, Gaerra.
 <AI pause>

•  Outer Conflicts:
<outerConflicts>
•	Rhaenyra is a designated heir to the Iron Throne, although her half-brother Aegon II should be the heir by traditions of the realm as the firstborn son of the king.
•	Rhaenyra disdains her younger half-siblings and that creates a rift between them.
•	Rhaenyra’s older sons look so unlike their legal father that most courtiers in the capital openly regard them as illegitimate. Seeking a meaningful relationship, she chose a man she could trust and love (Harwin). However, her older sons' appearance clearly indicates their illegitimacy.
•	Rhaenyra left the capital six years ago, avoiding rumors about her older sons’ bastardy, therefore, she lost influence and allies at the court.
•	Rhaenyra’s younger brother Aemond lost his eye in the fight with Luke and he holds a huge grudge against him and her.
•	Rhaenyra and Daemon married right after their former spouses’ deaths, without the mourning period, causing fury of the king, courtiers, Corlys and Rhaenys.
