Hey!
So, I fell in love with some of writing, and I'm subscribing for sure. I love subscribing to underrated artists.
However, if you don't mind, I've got some suggestions. Maybe we could get to know the characters deeper in the first page? I like the historical information but I don't think they're gonna hook a reader who came to see what the book was about. There's not really much that will hook a reader, in my opinion, in the first page or so. I'd also recommend 3rd person perspective occasionally, and hooking the reader by letting them find out something the main character doesn't already know. Readers seem to enjoy having advantage over the main character.
I do genuinely enjoy this story, and will continue to read it. Thanks for introducing us to it, and keep up the good work!
All the best sweets!
