Will Fulmino break, or will he discover that his destiny is greater than he would have ever imagined?

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

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

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
