I don't want to blow smoke up your arse, but I am going to anyway:

This is great. Like really, really good. The second chapter is awesome, just totally sets up the story and the whole underdog storyline is COOKING. World building is superb and I see this hard, dry world populated by hard, resourceful warriors. Great work.

But, you know how I feel about shorter chapters!

I know, I know, and I’m just going to have to live with your disapproval on that one point. So, so glad you’re enjoying it. Thanks for the smoke, brother.

Damn, this was excellent. Kareva's speech at the end had me getting goosebumps. But my favorite part was probably the two Uskols. It takes skill to balance the serious with the humorous and make it work. Well done!

Thank you so so much!

For the record, I’m kicking around doing an “Uskol and Uskol” spinoff novella at some point. Just for fun.
