On the other hand, maybe it could be done as a joint Vlad/Paarfi book,
kind of like Roshamon -- the same events told in two different styles

could even do it with 1-17 being Vlad chapters and 15-28 being Paarfi.
Of course, you'd have to alternate them out of order (1, 18, 2, 19, etc)
for that to work, but it's a simple matter of programming.

I'm now going to run away and hide.
