Another good chapter. I do wonder what exactly Jacob's reluctance is (by the usual 'you threw me in a shoe' that would be expected from anyone). This seems like a relatively easy job, seeing as he's serving as a guide. I imagine there is some animosity between him and the King's guard as a sort of occupational hazard.

I think these first two chapters are a really strong start. They give some sense of the world without directly spelling it out, and I hope to see more world building as it continues. I think you hit the marks for dialogue, grammar, structure, and I think Anna and Jacob's interactions work really well.

My only question was did you mean pirate as in like "with a pirate ship" cause I imagine trying to get Anna on a boat is a very quick way to see what the ocean floor looks like.



Author's Response:

Thanks for reply! I really like the question you asked, because I ended up wondering about it myself. I'm sure a massive knight would be a horrible idea for a small ship.

I think some the of the humor comes from the absurdity of the idea itself, to which I'm rolling with. I have no doubt that there are giant pirates in the world, as both big and small folk do exist in this world. But yes, I do mean the type with the ship, though a lot of this story will be taken on foot.

Hopefully I continue to make chapters you enjoy, and thank you for taking the time to review it, it means a lot to me.
