I've received my previews. There are three of them and they each contain two chapters. My first impression was a good one. The cover art isn't inspired but it is interesting and well done. I gulped down the first two previews almost immediately. So far, very well written (except for one error that was either an attempt at poetic language or just poor grammar) and the story is interesting. I don't really have a synopsis as of yet as I've just been introduced to the main characters so far.
A little basic background: Shadowmarch is where the story takes place. It is called Shadowmarch (a knickname for Southmarch) because of its proximity to what is called the Shadowlands. Which seems to be some sort of barren and ungodly otherworld bounded by a curtain of shadow. This curtain of shadow often shifts like the tides but suddenly it has actually moved, and moved forward - toward Shadowmarch. Ominous. Elsewhere, the King is being held for ransom and the King's daughter is proposed to be a part of the ransom. That's about as far as I've gotten.
I haven't read the third preview yet as I decided I'd better post here before I read it since I have to get to bed early this evening and I might forget to post.
In any case, so far so good. I'm definitely going to opt for the full version as soon as it becomes available as I'm into the story now and I need to find out what happens next. I'll give a full review once I've read the entire thing.
So, there you go Sira, worth checking out.
