The Spell of Solitude

"Great first chapter. I enjoy the feels of the old English use like ‘my lady’ and count. I look forward to further updates! "

Interesting start!

"(Read the first chapter, still on-going) This was an interesting opening! We learned a lot about Sol without any of it coming across as an info dump, which is a hard feat to pull off, so props for that. She seems very lonely and at odds with herself - she doesn't seem to have any self-confidence or belief, which is no wonder given the way her father treated her and her brother being sent away. I like how she interacted with the maid - the maid seems quite comfortable around her, not holding back in sharing information about the Count's exploits, so it appears she treats the staff well, which gives a great insight into her character. The dialogue was good - formal, but it suited the atmosphere well. The maid's details about the Count's scorned lover were entertaining to read too and added a humour to the tone I wasn't expecting but really enjoyed xD One little thing I'd say is to maybe make the ending a bit stronger - the rest of the chapter was intriguing and had me wanting to read more, but the ending paragraph didn't really have the same 'hook'. I assume something happens at the Ball, but maybe alluding to that in some way would add a little more 'oomph' - but that's just me being fussy; apologies if that came across as rude. Anyhoo, really good job with this! :)"
