Hello there! Holographic Ladybug here for a review!

While I can't really tear this apart (sorry 'bout that!), I am going to compliment you on such a wonderful job you've done (late at night, too!). You've really impressed me with this, so, without stalling much longer, let's get on to the review!

~The Great Bits~

Children ran around laughing, their voices like wind chimes bouncing off the walls of the village houses.

This is what really grabbed my attention. For the first bit, I was thinking "Meh," but here on, it's so much better.

Women stood with weaved wooden baskets at their sides, hanging the fresh linen on the line while their husbands sat under the sagging porches smoking cigars and chatting about the recent harvest.
... Yet, like always, the men complained about how it could be better, how they could provide for their families more if only they had the money and a lot more time.
... So as the hours passed, the men would sit and complain about things that may never be changed and the women would hang the laundry shaking their heads and smiling.

You're showing us the regular, everyday life of these people, which, I'll say it again, is fantastic. I'm way more hooked and I'm curious to see where you're going with this. It's intriguing to what inspired this. (Pondering.....)
But still, your description is amazing and really couldn't get any better.

As he reached the edges of the village people stopped dead in their tracks, for they hadn’t seen a man as such before.

Now I'm really interested. Where are you going with this? Questions like this start to circle my mind until I am forced to read the first chapter by will. Amazing.

That's all from me! Great job on this! :D

Hi myjaspercat, Felistia here with a review on your prologue. :D

Story: The story is so interesting at the moment, a bit confusing but still very interesting. I would advise you to change it a bit so that it's a bit more straight forward instead of the flip between the first paragraph to the rest of the prologue, because some people will find it off putting and apply it to the rest of your story, which I am looking forward to by the way.

Characters: I am not sure about who the characters are right now or whether the first part of the story. They sound interesting though.

Description: You are fantastic when it comes to description. The words you use are great and the way you use them are beautiful. I really feel like I was in the characters body. I could feel their fear and hear and see the things around them.

Problems: The only problem I have with this prologue is that it is very confusing. I strongly recommend that you make it a bit more clear to what is happening. :D

Over all a very interesting prologue and I look forward to the first chapter. Please note me when the next chapter is out and I will get to it as soon as I can. Never stop writing and I hope you have a great day\night. :D

i understand that this is confusing, i was messing around with it and i kind thought to go with the whole what the hell is happening thing. for now i will keep it but if it is still confusing after the first few chapters i could change it. thank you so much for the review i appreciate it. oh and there reallly wasnt a defined character in the prologue as a whole but yes, thank you again.

thumbs up :D
