Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Night(whichever one it is in your part of the world),
Hi! I think I reviewed the first chapter of this already and never realized there was also this part to it. Now that I finally know however, I'm back to review this bit.
First Impression: Okay...well this is a pretty good introduction or summary there. It definitely seems like an interesting premise and I would love for it to be continued, it looks like its quite the world that you have come up with here for this futuristic society.
Anyway let's get right to it,
I once read somewhere that the ancient humans used to say being a teenager or a young adult was tough…. Especially for the women but in all honesty it can’t have been as bad as it is now, nearly 300 years later.
Well the ancient humans were not wrong and oh dear...it appears we are returning back to those times the further forward we go in the future, well this is starting of with a really interesting idea, that much is certain.
I don’t know the exact date but in our days if you weren’t an Elf or a human of high stature, meaning you had money, lots of money than you were considered less than. Nothing but vermin. As a rover, I was considered vermin.
Uh oh...well...I suppose our protagonist does in fact need to be from the bottom of the ladder usually so that seems about par for the course at the moment.
It was only after being bought from my original owners by a rover clan leader at the age of 14 did I finally understand what these ancient humans had meant. As rovers, the men in the clan were used to taking what they wanted, snatching it right out of the hands of their mark. This meant as time went by, and I began to show promise of great beauty, more, and more of my nights were spent warding off these pigs.
Oh that definitely sounds like a truly horrible way to leave. Gets the point across how these people are looked upon very well if that is meant to be common and acceptable behavior for that clan.
At nineteen, I had been lucky, more fortunate than most other female within the clan. Where the others had been bought from slave traders, Magnus had purchased me from a Gnome fight club in the Northern lands. This meant I was at least able to protect myself. While I did my best to help the other girls, when it came down to it, it was every man or in this case women for themselves.
Oh dear...well good to know our protagonist at least helps out those that are in need of defending. Definitely establishes them as a good person right off the bat.
Unfortunately, this also meant i was venerable. Even having the skills to defend myself didn't make me immune to being sold off as a bride, slave to other rover men, that is if the low life of the clan could touch me, which is another reason i am venerable. i have Magnus's personal protection which basically put a target on my back.
Oh well that is a double edged sword usually isn't it?
Aaaaand that's it for this one.
Overall: Overall this seems like it could be a really interesting story, and I definitely though Chapter one was pretty good so I will definitely read more of this story should it come out.
As always remember to take what you think was helpful and forget the rest.
Stay Safe
