The first paragraph really draws you in. It was good. I think it could do with being a little lengthier, but other than that it was great.

Not much else to say. Good job.

Yeah, this is really short. I think prologues should be longer than just one paragraph but that's just my opinion.

Otherwise, I think you have a good start here. I mean, I haven't read any of your other prologues before this one so I can't really compare them (I'll just take your word for it that this one is better :) )

Anyway, I believe you could lengthen this out so that it is longer and maybe squeeze in some more descriptions so that I can imagine what is going on in the scene. I can't really picture your main character from this.

Umm, that's really all I can come up with right now. Keep Writing :)

It was a good read, if not a little short.

I hope to read more.

Although this is short I think it is really mysterious, and I certainly want to read more!

Why should Caesar just get to stomp around like a giant while the rest of us try not to get smushed under his big feet? Brutus is just as cute as Caesar, right? Brutus is just as smart as Caesar, people totally like Brutus just as much as they like Caesar, and when did it become okay for one person to be the boss of everybody because that's not what Rome is about! We should totally just stab Caesar!
