Captivating pitch. Do gods have blood? The fate of humanity is indeed in the One. I will read.

Hey there Chris.
Why have you only got 2 chapter uploaded? I was so into this.

As i have mentioned a few time too other members...I read for enjoyment, and I did enjoy.

I know many people on here will tell you that you (have to show, not tell.) Well throughout your work I would most likely agree with them. Much of the story moved so easily it almost had to be told rather than being shown, but your style as a writer is terrific.

Your structure, pace and most of all your ability to create tension, are the most gifted skills you have as writer.
The story itself was littered with all of the above, but also had a great sense of purpose also.

I would never recomend that you change anything about your work, but if I could offer any kind of feedback, it would be to take a fresh look at the story from the point of view where you (show the reader) rather than telling us, then that is about only the slightet fault I could find with your work.
Hope I havent been overly critical, i prefer to be honest, without hopefully sounding negative.

Well worth a place on my shelf.

Best of Luck Chris.

This is usually not my type of reading material but I read it to the end,( Where...It had begun.)
You have a good grasp of the supernatural. I thought the dialogue was interesting and very easy to follow along. This is a nice piece of work and I hope you do well with it.

Can't resist anything that alludes to 'The One' ! :)
Gonna put this on my shelf and I will try to read some more if I get the chance. Also, just be aware that there is already a fantasy book called 'The Chosen' by Ricardo Pinto (He's a friend of mine). Do an Amazon search for it...
All the best with your chosen
Blackheart
