Topic: Myrias: Rites and Ruin

Greetings. 
I have begun publishing chapters for my book, the first of a series set in a world called Myrias.  The title of the book is temporary as I ponder something less abstract.   I posted the prologue today. 

The story is meant to be a slow-build, focusing on the parallel narratives of two lifelong friends; Jack and Kara, as they come-of-age within a world that is falling apart around them.   It's written in a third-person deep POV (except for the prologue) and tells the story of these teenagers as they find themselves suddenly lost in the world on separate journeys.  My goal is to develop a compelling story that accords with real-world mythology and mysticism in a way that contributes to plausibility.  It should feel natural because I'm not trying to reinvent fantasy-fiction; just tell a good story that's  relies more on character development and plot than on unique world-building. 

Anyway, I signed up for this site months ago but only recently find myself with time to participate.  I hope you all enjoy the work and I'm looking forward to your critiques, nit[picks, quibbles, flames, etc.  Once I've edited and reedited something a couple dozen times, I start being blind to obvious flaws. 

I'm looking forward to reading your work and your submissions. 

Cheers,

T.C. Austin

Hi T.C. You may want to consider posting this message to Premium as well, so you get a wider pool of potential readers. There are probably fantasy readers on the site who don't belong to this group.

Re: Myrias: Rites and Ruin

I appreciate that.  Since the prologue is kind of a placeholder, I think I'll wait until I have enough points to publish Chap 1, since it's a completely different feel and it's also the part of the book I'm most interested in having critiqued.
