Ellette Giselle replied to the topic The Veil of Night– second book in The Flames of Hope Saga in the forum Novel Critique Requests 3 weeks ago
Hello! Hello!
Wonderful! First feedback! (I’ve over here being excited about crazy things like this)
Think this is a good opening. It sets a darker stage than the previous book, but you warned us.
Yes, I am going for a darker stage.
Also, how the characters act makes sense. Joseph is traumatized and Sabina is trying to be…

HELLO!!!
So excited because today is November and now I can release the beginning of the second book in my saga!

Again, this is in draft form still, so feedback and critiques are welcome.

Okay, okay, I also had it on while reading, and I was…… underwhelmed…….. To put it gently.
It just feels like the difference between a wind up music box and watching the Danish National Symphony. There just wasn’t any heart and character behind it! The music didn’t feel alive to me.
Well, there’s my honest opinion.

Are any of y’all in interested in extending the deadline, or are you just not going to be doing this character at all?

@linus-smallprint That was beautiful!! One question though, how far is this in the book? Are we nearing the end, or does Alan still have some character development to do (maybe sharing this great news with his friends….?)
also the soundtrack was amazing, I had it on in the background while I was reading. It really does fit!

Ellette Giselle replied to the topic The Narrow Path Trilogy Book I: The Cost in the forum Novel Critique Requests 3 weeks, 1 day ago
Finally. I’ve been really looking forward to this chapter. It was good timing too. This was the point in Alan’s life when he was ready. The line “He didn’t need to become that hero, for The Saviour had been that hero for him.” is truly quotable.
Just one small thing.
You start the sentence:
After a little more hesitation. D…

November 1st would be fine. Just don’t be surprised if it sometimes takes me a couple of days to read the sections you post. I might just drop them into a document on my phone so I can read them while taking the LRT to school.
No prob. Take the time you need.

So that’s Darrian’s backstory. I don’t recall anything about this in the story.
Yeah, it was in there, about a paragraph, same time you got Noah’s backstory.
Ahhhh, never thought about pulling in the nobleman “Separation” He was thrown out when he was sixteen. So….. four years ago.

The Wilderking Trilogy by Jonathan Rogers is an allegorical story on the life of David, with some twists thrown in. (And a completely different world.) It’s got some great humor in it! I would recommend.
