 Shang 2007-08-12 . chapter 1Well, I must say that for a prologue it's nicely done. Makes the reader wanna find out what happens next (though a motorcycle in a fantasy story seems slightly out of place to me).
Aside from that (and maybe handgun... I can understand pistol as in for gunpowder, but handgun gives the impresion of this being modern times) the story seems promising and I'll certainly drop b to read it.
Overall: good job. |
 Baalam 2004-10-29 . chapter 1Great start!
I really like the way you describe the action, and manage to keep the pace going throughout the story, and yet it's already beginning to gain a little mystery and depth into the plot. His cavern was warm and appealing, especially after your description of the rainy storm. The only thing that seems out of place is in some of the descriptive language, such as the use of the word 'black'. You sometimes use it to frequently, and while the action is taking place it slows it down a little, it would be better of if you separated the action from description; and maybe tried to work around the word 'black'. Possibly replace it something else, such as 'dark' or something. Just my opinion, I have the same problem so I wouldn’t be worried. It's an excellent piece to use as a prelude, and I commend your work. |
