What a great introduction to a new culture, a new world and a new story. It was very well written and the description was cleverly shown. Not a great deal of dialogue which makes it harder to carry the story, but the stones were a brilliant way to to fill in the blanks. I also love the way they pray to the soul of the fish and thank it for its provison before releasing it into the afterlife. All up a well written introduction that captures the reader. Nice work . . .

Thank you! My favorite part of writing fantasy is the culture creation. This first chapter and much of the second chapter is pretty description heavy to introduce the world, but character development and dialogue comes much more into play in the following chapters. Thanks for your input!
Well, I'm not a fan of hunting of any kind, but your descriptions of the ocean, of the culture and the environment were spot on. I'll definitely be reading more, J. R.

Glad you liked it. And Kai is not the biggest fan of killing either. In fact, that's a pretty crucial plot point in this story. Thank you for your input!

Tribes, the sea and everything. I've never read anything like this before, and it's good. Thanks for the hard work!
This was a great read. I could clearly tell you did your research for this chapter. There were a few spots that it just read off for me...I couldn't really point out what it was, but it just seemed off. But overall it was a fantastic read.
