I am a picky reader, but I was pulled in by the opening and found myself flying through this book. Like others have said, a few revisions will really make this shine. I can definitely see and feel the imagery that the author is trying to convey. The POV appears to be 3rd person omnicisient, where the narrator explains everything from a god’s eye view. This is a tricky method to get right without committing the son of author intrusion and pulling the reader out of the story, so again, I commend the author for the effort. Keep going! 🙂🙂
First off the author has an expansive vocabulary. These pages are full of medical terms and multi-syllable words. The story is interesting but the scenes are very granular, lots of internal monologue making the pace a bit slow. I am curious how this plays out so I think I’ll add it to my library and stick with it for a while.
I was fully engaged during the first chapter, the scene was tense and gritty, but the pace seemed to slow down a bit in the later chapters. I assume we are still early on in the story and that might explains why I’m not sure what direction it’s heading, but overall I love this, and I LOVE the author’s fearless writing style. Nicely done!
Well that took an interesting turn!
What a way to open up the first scene. So many feelings right now. Wow! I love your style.
You will probably think I’m a noob but I just realized where you placed this comment! I’m still getting used to navigating through webnovel. I did want to say that I really like your writing style, and again, I appreciate your input.
You are absolutely right. I think my goal was to begin this scene in a very dark place and have the reader rooting for the FL when she finally found the strength to fight back. I appreciate your input!
I am new to these types of novels and I wanted to give it a fair look so I took my time with it. The author’s prose is 10/10, and while I’ve only read a few of these, the quick pacing had me flying through the pages. I appreciate the explanations at the beginning. It’s n my library so I can dive into this world again if I’m feeling squirrelly.
This is who I think of when I see the name Daenerys. Is that the point?
This is good, but should be given the reader more information here? Will the editor have a larger role in the story? If so, giving him/her a name and making this person more relatable might help. Just a thought. [img=recommend]
Great opening… Makes the reader ask lots of questions.
