Hiya, Matt. Reading your story, several things jumped out at me, quickly.
The 1st of these is that your ability to spell and your vocabulary are a cut above the norm. You'll find as you read submissions from others that this is a pleasant rarity. It's obvious that you take pride in your craft.
The next is that you have a fine sense of phrasing. For the most part, your descriptions paint a picture that is both recognizable and... mehr anzeigen

Very well written It really holds your attention. Only one suggestion.
I think it would be good if you would introduce Fulmino earlier in the story. The beginning was so descriptive of the environment I almost lost track of the fact that it was a story about a person.
The descriptions were very well done but I wondered when we were actually going to get to the story. Just the mention of the protagonist at this point would add... mehr anzeigen

Thank you for the feedback! That is a good point I hadn't considered, I will be sure to touch up the intro with your suggestions. Honestly half the reason I began with such a descriptive scene is because I have seen it so often in well written fantasy novels. I appreciate you... mehr anzeigen

Thanks, i'm glad you liked it! I'm hoping to wait a little while to get more feedback before I continue on, but i'll be sure to let you know as soon as there is anything new
thnks :)
You write well, and considering the genre (it's fine) appropriately popular.
A few things that hit me (I'm glad you used "farther" instead of "further").
White Space. Consider breaking your paragraphs up. Long narrative blocks tend to make the eyes weary.
Your opening sentence: The dusky sky within the trees...? You might want to rephrase that.
Character: So far so good. I get a " definite feeling" concerning his place, and his... mehr anzeigen

Thank you Felix! Its great to get some sound feedback; I hear you about the spacing, definitely haven't addressed that yet. Plus, the beginning was a bit vague in general, will take the time to polish it before finishing. Once again thank you for the feedback, feel free to let... mehr anzeigen
Hey Jeff, I really appreciate you taking the time to give me some feedback!
Don't worry, you are not alone in being overwhelmed by the lack of white space, I will be sure to slice it up into more manageable bite sized portions asap. I'm not surprised that there are grammatical... mehr anzeigen
Hey Jeff, I really appreciate you taking the time to give me some feedback!
Don't worry, you are not alone in being overwhelmed by the lack of white space, I will be sure to slice it up into more manageable bite sized portions asap. I'm not surprised that there are grammatical issues, as grammar was never my forte and I have not had any editing done so far.
I will be sure to review your suggestions moving forward with the story.
Thanks again for taking the time to read Servant over, your observations were quite tasteful!
