Hey Wyn!! Ooo, I’m so glad that you like Emiyn!!! Yes, I agree about the transition. I didn’t really notice that, haha (that’s what y’all are for, right? 😜). Also, I’m really glad you like the tone! Yep, it’s my old friend show-don’t-tell again… we have a long history, lol! And I totally get that about flashbacks instead of explaining, much more effective. 👍 Thanks SO much for reading!! ❤

February 25, 2021 at 8:41 am #94033February 25, 2021 at 9:28 am #94041@nova21 I just finished reading the chapter and it was A-MA-ZING!!!!!! I loved it from the beginning, but I got really hooked when we got to the part with the “uncle”!!!!!! I love the MC too! She makes me think of a spy a little bit. 😉 I thought the pacing was really good and I would definitely keep reading!!! 🙂 I absolutely enjoyed it!!!!!

February 25, 2021 at 8:02 pm #941091) Is this engaging? Did it hook you?
Yes and no. The first scene was unclear and a bit confusing, but it was still interesting. Just would love to have more details of the setting and more information about MC herself in that part. But the part right at the end of the first scene was the part that got me hooked. And the second scene just so engaging. This was the part that made me want more (just answered 4# right there.)
2) Is the MC interesting?
Yes. Though it would be great if maybe we got a little more internal dialogue throughout the first scene just to flesh her voice to the readers better.
3) How was the pacing? Was it consistent?
I honestly am not good at judging this because I can read a bunch of stories and never notice the pacing of it. I honestly don’t understand personally with getting annoyed or bothered by pacing. So I would say it was good and it felt consistent because nothing seemed really jarring or noticeable. But again I am not the best person to judge pacing.
4) And most of all, would you keep reading?
I basically said this before, but I will! The MC is interesting, there is stakes and conflict, and the hints about the world are super intriguing.
You’re welcome! It was my pleasure! I love your story so far, and I am happy to help improve it!
Also thank you for sharing this with me and letting me give feedback. I haven’t done a lot of feedback before, so take my advice with a grain of salt.
