Hello everyone. I'm currently in the query trenches, just about a little over a month in, and I'm kinda in the paranoid phase. I've had my betareaders and all but I still want to know what more people think. Aside from your general feedback, I wanted to know if you guys think these first four chapters are a good enough hook for you to continue reading on.

I hope these successive posts are alright with the mods. Thank you very much.

Here is my Prologue:  
[\[1155\] PEARL OF THE ORIENT - Prologue](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OTYaX3thTjq7sghnyJik_NVR04Ua0Fwx/edit?usp=drive_link&ouid=117586676426018201436&rtpof=true&sd=true)

The next three chapters:  
\[2146\] PEARL OF THE ORIENT - Chapter I

\[2167\] PEARL OF THE ORIENT - Chapter II

\[1165\] PEARL OF THE ORIENT - Chapter III

Here are the ones I've critiqued:
