Very interesting premise! Can’t wait to dig deeper into this one! :)

Wow! The first and last sentences really caught my eye here. The story sounds promising!

And I also have a character named Serafina, except mine is spelled Seraphina, and she goes by Sera.

Hope you follow along! I think the real Italian spelling is “Seraphina,” but I liked the f for some reason.

I'm very behind on this one, so I'm excited to get into some heavenly swashbuckling. I'm also looking forward to Valkyrie Moon, because the the title fires up the imagination receptors in my brain.

I’m curious what you’re imagining!

Political intrigue on far off planets. Epic battles among the stars perhaps. And valkyrie of course implies great warriors. I don’t want to spoil myself by looking up too much so I'll wait for the book to be out.

Well, you’re not far off! I'll say that much.

I'm a bit late to the party on this one, but this was wonderful! You've packed so much world-building into such a small section of text and made it very enjoyable. It takes a lot of finesse to weave so much information into an intro chapter without having readers' eyes glaze over at all of the vocab haha

I saw you posted the first arc in another article, can't wait to read it!

Thank you! That’s very kind. Here’s the link for the full first arc, in case you can’t find it again: https://ryanekunz.substack.com/p/updated-with-new-link-read-the-complete

Just getting started on reading, and this is a super strong opening! 😃

Ryan Kunz's avatar

Thanks! Hope the rest is just as strong :) The illustrations get better, at least.

Marie Howalt's avatar

I bet it will! And I think the illustrations are pretty solid already!
