I'm so glad that the #fiction side of Steemit is burgeoning. With works like this, I have no doubt that we'll fill Steemit with original creativity in no time. I just hope we fiction authors interact and read on one another's pieces more often.
The story was great; it was arranged really well and I like the way you formatted the whole piece, especially the amazing cover art. The world-building, pacing and setup was nicely done. Overall, it was a good first chapter that leaves the reader wanting to read more. I can't wait to read the next installment! Upvote earned!
