    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!

    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.

    Howling Shadows, while it is a work of fiction, tries to cover some heavy topics. In these pages you will find tragedy, deep love, and the wickedness of people. Ultimately, the goal of any good story is one that has characters who start out weak and vulnerable, but rise above it all in the end. Overall, I hope these characters resonate with you they way they did with me over the time I've spent writing about them.

    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.

    Excellent, skilled writing, captivating story. I love all things werewolves (especially the hellish, non-glamorous types) and this is a really cool take on them. This one is definitely going into the library. Looking forward to more chapters!

    This is who I think of when I see the name Daenerys. Is that the point?

    Rich narrative, good dialog and a story that hooks you in and keeps you reading. I’m not usually someone who reads this genre but I’m going to stick with this one and see where it leads. Nicely done, author!

    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]

    "The Wangs?" Editor questioned and he nodded quickly. "What about them?" the words ended when the next thing was shown on the white screen.

    Great opening… Makes the reader ask lots of questions.

    "We chose this," a man on her left muttered with a hopeless tone and started to scatter away from the group.
