Wonderful start. This promises to be a very good story well written. Backed with pleasure.

I hope you will take a look at my novel, Earth Reaver. I would welcome any comments and your backing.

Aidan,
Heart of Shadows is a thrilling reading adventure for those captivated by the fantasy genre. Your brilliant imagination shines throughout the enthralling narrative filled with intricately detailed descriptions. Backed with enthusiasm.

Another great one, Aiden <---just kidding! Aidan. Ha, anyway, the opening was great, though the names threw me off . . . bit of a mind-bender for simple-minded me. I'm used to Jack, Jill and Spot. Great writing as I expected. So, I skipped into a few chapters along and eased into the story and found it was actually engaging considering I never read books like this.

Nice work here,
Suz

The tension which you build in the "Prologue" grips your reader immediately compelling them to read on. It is also a good use of foreshadowing. Your work is character rich and your storyline is compelling and most interesting. Your imaginative writing makes your fantasy thriller a pleasure to read. Backed.

You paint scenery beautifuly and the descriptions are perfectly balanced. Your characters are real to me and give the impression that fantasy is just on the other side of the door. The imagination you have and exhibit is outstanding. I can see that competition is going to be strong on this site so maybe I'll just concentrate on readings for now then tae the advice I get and make some improvements. If I am up against this sort of work then I feel a little cowed.

Although I am not a great fan of Prologues, yours is certainly laden with tension and it is written in an intense style.

Your writing style on the whole leans towards the majestic and exciting with a background of tension for good measure.

BACKED
