Hi Budamunky, this is good writing. You have created a fine MC (I liked the voice) and a powerful and sinister plot. I am putting you back on my shelf later.
Backed with pleasure, Barry
LITTLE KRISNA AND THE BIHAR BOYS

Hi Budamonky, An intriguing combination of the comtemporary and medieval fantasy - the clothing, swords and bows. It all gives the feeling of a remote place. The sinister tone of the people at the inn mounted gradually to the discovery. Well-wrought. Happy to shelve - Katherine (The Swan Bonnet)

The writing style is not my favourite, but the story and thinking behind this is really good. Did notice a few grammar issues and spelling mistakes i.e. 'their' instead of 'there' etc. Think this will do well and has definite potential. Backed.

Dear Budamunky
how did I miss this book? your cover is compelling on its own and your long pitch insisted i read on. Revenge is a very powerful emotion and one that can drive as your MC is. I love the way you have taken words and portrayed so powerfully in picture form for me not only him but his drive. I will carry on reading and comment further on as I would like to get this book of yours backed to assist it on the climb to the top.
Backed for sure my me. ..I would really appreciate it if your would look at my book, COMMENT , and back it. If not that is OK also
The VERY best of luck with your book

I'll tell you right off, I really like your writing style. Your narrator has an awesome voice. I love when he's talking about how he only feels right when he's in the rain. That little part says so much about him! The story itself is wonderful, full of intrigue and action and adventure. I'm hooked on this, it's a little different from what I normally read but it really grabbed me. It felt magical to me.

Best of luck with it!

Edgy. Exciting. A gripping adventure with colorful characters. Wonderful imagery. Powerful dialogue. Intense narrative. Spot on storytelling. Backed.

Buda: I jumped in at Chapter 4. This is very good writing. This is solid for YA. Even the pitches worked for me. BACKED!

I can use your comments on my book when you get a chance. Cheers!

Dear Budamunky,
I enjoy your first person narrative style. It's very expressive. I am wondering why you listed the genre young adult. Your MC is 30 and the other 22 - I think of young adult as something appealing to teenagers, but usually they like to read about people their own age. Small point - overall it's nice writing and a good story.

Here is your chance to get a double backing. My friend, homewriter, and I have similar taste in writing and trust each other's judgment. Back my book and leave it on your bookshelf. Then do the same for his, "The Harpist of Madrid." Once the backings register, he will give you a return backing guaranteed. Just let him know in an email that you've backed my book as well as his. You might have to be a bit patient as we're 6 time zones apart. But you'll have two backings guaranteed on your excellent book. Of course, comments are always welcome too!

This is not a genre I usually read but someone recommended it and I’m glad.
First peson makes it so much more intimate. Even if the beginning is a little narration heavy it moves along and we learn about the character. Dialogue, when it comes, is crisp and sets a good pace.
I guess it will do real well with lovers of this genre.
You’ve got my vote.
Good luck and see you on the ED.

PS. Maybe you coul look at (and back) TO KILL A DEAD MAN

I do like what I have read so far. You have crafted a most interesting storyline and I especially like your use of the first person narrative voice. Your descriptive writing makes your work a pleasure to read. Backed.

You've got a knack for drawing the reader right straight into the story proper! Well done indeed! Not normally my genre, I can still appreciate a well crafted and polished piece of literature and this is just that and more! Backed with pleasure.

FOUR DRAGONS
This is the story of a man on a huge quest: to be a dragon slayer. Revenge isn’t necessarily the best motivation for a hero but it works here. Sean is a likable and sympathetic character. You have a plain writing style that makes your scenes move swiftly. I’m adding this to my shelf. If you have a moment, would you look at mine (Grain of Salt)? I’m in 8th place but only holding on by my teeth. Burgio

Nice fast paced action. At it's best when you keep it simple. The odd spot too much description slowed things down, but then it's fast enough that the odd chance to take breath is appreciated. Backed.

VERY WELL WRITTEN AND DRAWS IN THE READER DOWN A FASCINATING AND STIRRING PATH

This is shaping into a great read. The POV works well and does not seem artificial or contrived. Dialogue works too. Only thing, check how you spell vengeance in your pitch. :)
