Thank you so much for your concern. Unfortunately, when publishing houses
are bought by multinational conglomerates (as all of them have been), the
publishing process is inevitably retroengineered to become the standardized
production of a standardized commodity. And authors, alas, are not canned
tomatoes.
The best thing you can do for Book Two is to review Book One and discuss it
in suitable forums online. The more interest shown in in Crown of
Vengeance (and Tor will indeed notice), the more invested the company will
be in seeing Book Two done well (for values of "done well" that don't
include cutting out more than half the text...)
