Your opening chapter pulls the reader in with a quiet intensity. The atmosphere feels lived in, almost breathing, and the emotional undercurrent is strong without ever being forced. You have that rare ability to build a world through small details and rhythm instead of exposition. It makes the scene feel intimate from the first lines.
There is a tenderness here, even inside the tension. A sense that something is shifting beneath the surface and the character can feel it before they can name it. That kind of writing stays with people.
A beautiful start. It sets the stage for a story that is going to unfold in a very human, very compelling way.
Thank you so much for your feedback. I love when people give me honest feedback. It helps me develop as a writer. I've built the world for this story and the outline for the book. I'll be posting more chapters as I finish them.
