Hi J. M. Kraynak,
This review is just my humble opinion and is meant to be helpful, not discouraging.
Title: Heresy: The Book of Mammon -- Chapter 1
Author: J. M. Kraynak
APPEAL:Those who like to read about war and fighting will find this an interesting novel to read.
Plot: There seems to be war of some sort going on.
Style & Voice: Lady Elaine seems to be a secondary character, yet I’m not sure of her role in this tale as this point. written in 3rd person.
Referencing: genre: Fantasy time period: unknown
Scene/Setting: You used a nice balance of imagery and well written words that made me feel as if I am there.
DIALOGUE:The dialogue sounds natural. I know who is speaking without the overuse of dialogue.
POINT OF VIEW:I know who's point of view I’m in.
Characters: What to Comment on: Valimaar, The Exarch, Lady Elaine. Valimaar and the Exarch seem to be fighting men. Lady Elaine is still just a name.
Grammar: My editing skills are not the best in the world, yet I try my best to let the author know if something looks out of place, misspelled or missing.
“You should drink some water (comma) Valimaar, this heat can really take a toll on you.”
It was your zeal that got us this far (comma) Valimaar.
Just My Personal Opinion:
Who are the Expurgators?
Who is The Exarch?
What book and why is it important?
The rank of Mamluk -- is this like a private or a captain? Somewhere in between or higher than a captain?
These are just a few questions that come to mind. I’m sure most of the answers to these questions will come to light as the novel advances.
Great job.
